OMG I cant believe whats happened
 

as you know maddie went in for this
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ount-down.html

i call the vet and they say the tail went fine and she doesnt have a uterous------WHAT do you mean no uterous--shes been spayed already when i adopted her from another vet i said, she was here to have her tail and teeth done--well they tried to spay my maddie again to. im livid-im at work and have sent my son to get her to bring her to me--the vets office is trying to figure out how this happened--i am so frickin upset right now--my poor baby has a longer recovery now and additional pain to deal with and they didnt even clean her teeth. i have called and yelled and cried so many times already at my vet (who we have been going to for about 15 years) i cant believe this has happened to my baby- and by my vet who i adored so much has scattered my trust---they are suppose to call me when they figure out what went wrong today , but this is uncalled for--and for maddie to have to go thru a xtra surgery---I am so upset and am here at work waiting for my son to get back with her--they didnt know i was sending him up there early to get her--but i dont want her there anylonger, she hates vets anyways and she needs to be with me here where i can hold her, my poor poor baby.:(

I'm sorry that she had to go through all that, I would be LIVID as well. Someone there needs to be fired!!! Or something drastic, if this was a human they would be getting sued!!! I hope that she feels better soon and I'm sure you will make sure she is comfortable.

I am so sorry for Maddie and you. Praying for her speedy recovery.

my poor girl looks like sheet. they handed her to my son and didnt say a word. he got her here and her tails still bleeding pretty good, i have gauze on it now-she was shaking and her head soaked??? i have her calmed down now, shes trying to rest--my son said they had to wake her??? so i dont know if she was still out from the drugs or not. (they told me earlier she was awake) maybe a bad choice on my behalf taking her so soon, but i didnt want her there for another minute. i know she will rest easier here with me, she has her bed here at work and comes with me everyday anyway.

my vet has yet to call me or explain--so far everythings been through her intern.

sorry for the bad spelling--im just so upset

I'd be upset too if they opened my baby up for no reason. I'm sure they feel awful about it as well. Poor baby!

And Thankyou Both

What?! Wow...that is horrible! I would want some accountability and I think your bill for today should be comped!

They didn't say a WORD about it? Wow. Way to own it. At least they should take responsibility for their actions . . and, yes, I think a bill adjustment is certainly in order.

Oh gosh. That's terrible. :(

Mistakes happen, but this really is unacceptable.

I'm concerned that she wasn't ready to be released yet. If something doesn't seem right, please take her to another vet for observation.

Because they really messed up, they should be giving you the surgery for free (IMO).

Oh my gosh, how horrible. I am so sorry you have to go through this. Whoever made this mistake should be kissing your feet, along with paying the bill.:(

Oh my, that is absolutely horrible

I agree they should reimburse you 100% of their fees.

Further I'd take her to another vet to be checked over and demand the original vet cover any fees incurred there as well.

Hugs to Maddie hope she recovers quickly!

im keeping a close eye on her, shes sleeping now, and has stopped shaking-has even takin a sip of water--i think shes calmed down, just hurting----but yes i will be taking her to see someone else if i think shes not coming around--rest an quiet for a few more hours ( they were going to let me have her within a few hours anyways - just jumped the gun a few hours--i just couldnt bare her to be there anymore) and hopefully she will perk up allittle--if not im off to another vet. and still no word from my own vet.:mad:

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I've heard that it's really hard to tell, if she had been bred frequently, and then was spayed. Poor little thing to have to go through that again. Does anyone know if there is a way to tell, without surgery? Do x-rays show the uterus?

Nevermind, Mardelin just said an ultrasound should have been done. So sorry, for you and Maddie.

She was only at the vets to have her tail and teeth done not spayed. Big time mistake somebody made. I hope she recovers quickly and they vet contacts you soon.

shes never been breed, and if you look closely you can see the scar from her spay a year ago--and yes a ultrasound would be the only other way. i guess my vet doesnt pay attention ( i do know she has alot of patients to rember everything) but i told her the day i got her and brought her in for a check up that she just had her stitches out that morning from the spay she had done buy another vet.

WHAT??? Didn't they know what she was in for? They weren't authorized to do a spay. What if you were breeding her and they just arbitrarily spay her!!! This is an outrage. Did you have to pay for the surgery?? I can't believe that your poor baby had to go through this.

Prayers for a speedy recovery. Poor little thing!!

I'd love to hear his excuse, again so sorry this happened. I didn't know you had TOLD the vet.

I understand that mistakes happen, vets are human too. But for that to have happened and no one has called you, I'd be livid too!

you know how when you pick a breeder, you should pick one that stands behind their lines, whether they're perfect of have flaws? I think the same applies to vets. They should stand behind their work, regardless if things were smooth or they hit a rough patch. They so owe you a call.

I am so sorry this has happened to your little furbaby. Tough both you and
Maddie. Wishes for a quick recovery.


We are not sure if Moxy, our dd's Pommie, has been spayed. Our vet recommended that Meg find a vet in WV, once she gets settled in, to do a hormone test. Wonder if an ultrasound would be better or possibly cheaper?

Oh Misti.....I am so sorry our little Maddie had to go through that!! :eek::(

Tell her that her first ever S.B. Sugar Baby is thinking about her :( What a shocker!! Poor baby!

Thankyou again for all the kind words everyone;)
maddie still resting and ill be going home in a hour and shell be able to get under her blankies---I still have not heard from my vet, and now the answering service is picking up--she has my cell # though and she better call me tonight--if not a call will be made in the morning. I have not paid for anything and wont. The intern said i wouldnt be billed, but that still doesnt make me feel better about what has happened.

Thankyou and i will tell her;)

I'm sorry this happened! I left my former vet after I could no longer feel comfortable with my communications with his staff. We always said NO LEPTO vaccine and every time I walked in with a dog, there was a lepto syrine ready to go.

I think if this happened to me, I'd file a complaint with the state licensing board.

im waitng for her to get ahold of me--not talking to me would NOT be in her best interest!!!

OMG, this is terrible. I am so sorry Maddie has gone thru this he$$.

HOLY %@%@ ! They tried to spay her AFTER she's already been spayed ? Was that vet on DRUGS ? You have a lawsuit in the making and while I've never in my life sued anyone nor had a reason - I'd be livid - this is a huge mistake ! That poor girl - are you sure she's ok at home ? Do you think she needs to be at an ER vet where they can control her pain and monitor her ? I wish I had better advise but all the shaking would be scaring me and the bleeding too -

My heart goes out to you - I've never heard of this happening before and while vets are human too - WE TRUST THEM TO READ FILES AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PROCEDURE A PET IS IN THERE FOR !

why the heck didn't the at least call you to ASK you her history before performing unnecessary painful surgery ?

I'm so sorry - I'd really keep an eye on her and make some calls - she may have underlying issues at this time and you don't want to chance losing her !!

I'm almost speechless, I can't believe this happened to your baby!
How did your vet not see that she had been spayed, how many surgeries were they doing today that they could mess up what she was in there for???
I think it's beyond horrible the vet hasn't even called you yet to apologize & you have been seeing this person for 15 years! There is no excuse for this, but how do you not call and apologize!
I would never set foot in that office again, which is really sad since this has been a long term vet for you, but geez!
I'm soo sorry this happened, really sad! I hope she's ok & feels better soon!

I'm sorry your poor baby had to go through this. We all make mistakes, but not calling personally to tell you of the mistake is inexcusable. The vet needs to stand up and take responsibility for the actions of the staff. I hope your baby heals quickly. This is just hard to comprehend, I'm just shocked, that a so called animal lover, which you would think someone who got into veterinary medicine would be, would not at least be checking on your baby after their mistake.
