i tried telling that if it wasn't for the vet force feeding my dog she wouldnt be in the hospital; she said the vet didn't force feed the dog ; she "syringe fed her";
isn't that the same i said?
i brought my dog in because she didnt' want to eat or drink; so she obviously force fed her
anyhow she said they won't offer me anything; to get my dog back or any money back
however they want me to take the posts off because she's offended by me disclosing their information; and that she's getting emails from people who don't know the real story; (i think i know the story since it happened to me)
i think i know my rights; and this is called freedom of speech; i am not telling lies; just facts as they happened
she can call it my opinion; but i know my dog for 2 years and that day she didnt want to eat or drink
anyhow; i tried my hardest to fight for Ava with these people
maybe if they or the EC get enough letters something can be done
again i am deeply grateful for all your support
and please spread the word to AVOID BANFIELD AT ALL COSTS

I mentioned this same thing on another thread and was flamed for even thinking such a thing.

However in this case, I can totally understand that they will not respond to her phone calls. There are privacy laws when it comes to these things and these people could get into trouble. They have given their answer.

yes these people can get in big trouble and lose their jobs giving out information.
You just have to console yourself that you did what you thought was best at the time and that it is now out of your control.

It's not easy, but many of us have been through it.

And MY advice is to not give her false hope. The sooner she accepts it the sooner she can move forward.

But I fear that all of this is doing more harm than good for all involved.

I feel there is more to the story than what is being told.

nobody is forcing you to offer support or advice; you can simply get off the thread.
i told the story as it happened and i am not sure what you are getting at.
i understand if you don't want to offer kind words but you don't have to keep posting negative threads or interferring in my posts.
you don't see me interfering with your posts

But now it seems you have gone from sad and needing support to vindictive and your actions are encouraged by a group of vigilanties.., It's no longer about the dog, it's about getting even.

You did what had to be done at the time because you could not afford the bills. That was understandable. Has your financial situation changed? If so then take a check and go to them and talk to them. If not then let it go and move on.

At this point you have, no doubt, made them angry and they are not going to talk to you.

It is sad they they would not even give you the courtesy of telling you how she is doing, but this is not helping.

You are on a futile crusade to get even with them for something that you yourself did.

It's a sad situation but it is not their fault. Sometimes there is no one to blame. Things happen for a reason and we are learn and grow from it.

Look, I'm sorry but if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. You don't know the whole story and were not there to witness any of this first hand.

The OP has already asked you to stop commenting on here so why not just leave it at that?

Every situation is different, I know you offered a story about having your dog put down because you chose not to have a surgery preformed, but that is very different from this woman giving up her dog to do everything possible to save its life. She made rash, hasty decisions to keep her dog alive, she gave up rights to the dog, she did not give up on her. Now she wants to have her back and there is always hope, unless the dog dies she can try forever to get her baby back. I know I would. Maybe finances are not an issue anymore, whatever the case this womans heart is hurting and she wants to know her baby is OK. I believe she deserves to know.
