It wasn't a seriouis mistake in this case - but, you're right - it might have been with a different medicine.
I hope you notified the vet that this mistake was made - it could well have been made only by the person who gave you the information. If so, the vet would certainly appreciate knowing this.
I have worked in hospitals and medical offices for more than 30 years - and you'd be surprised how much doctors have to rely on those who work with and for them -- to help the provide medical care for their patients. Any doctor I have ever worked with would appreciate knowing if any employee ever made a mistake such as you described.
Good luck - Carol Jean |
