By doing everything I can legally, it's going to make her think twice when there is another sick pet in her office. Maybe she will look at everything and be a better Vet. I just want this vet to acknowledge that she did misdiagnose my Ace.
Some of us on this thread have been through the ringer and really only need positive comments. I realized Ace at a hairball, and I should've immediately rushed him to ER to have surgery, but I didn't know he ate that. He had stopped vomiting later in the day and was holding down fluids. He was running up stairs and even jumping, although he still wasn't eating, I just thought it was a small stomach thing, that he sometimes got from eating his own poo, (yes, he occasionally did that). I love my baby with all me heart and wish I could go back in time to save him. But I can't. I take one day at a time. I feel like I've been cheated and if I could take any pain or discomfort that he experienced and instead experience it myself, I would. He was the best thing in my life, now he's gone. |
I know you will do your best to to what you can to prevent this from happening again. As I said tiny dogs cannot compensate like a larger dog can and that vet should have known better. You did what you could with what you could see. The thing with our furry babies is that they cannot talk. If only they could. Wouldn't it make things so much simpler? There is no way you could have known what was in his stomach or what was ahead. There is nothing you can do about that now but hopefully you can can help others by taking it to court or writing letters. Just don't blame yourself. You were not the professional in this situation.
