Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I pray for strength and comfort to find you.
Your website pictures are beautiful. I have to say the large bath photo brought tears to my eyes. I always think bath time photos are the cutest. God be with you as you heal.

Oh no no no

I cannot imagine your sadness. I lost my best friend of 15 years mid-Nov, but losing a young puppy so unexpected like this is exponentially worse.
No, you probably cannot sue. Spaying an animal is a major surgery, and complications of anesthesia are listed in the waiver you had to sign. Even the very best vet will generally inform clients up-front, that the administration of anesthetics to a very small dog that death may be a consequence of the procedure. That is of no comfort now, but I am sending you my thoughts & best wishes

Can anyone help me find a link?

TO ALL WHO DON'T REALIZE I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW ABOUT FIGHTING PLEASE GET ALONG AS YOU ARE ALL LUCKY YOU STILL HAVE YOUR YORKIES!

Look, not trying to be insensitive, but if you're researching to bring suit against her Dr, I'm afraid to say it will be in vain. I don't even own a super-tiny Yorkie, yet, I still know the risks of putting a Yorkie of her size under. You will not be able to prove gross negligence (against treating doc) and, most likely there was none. Just a complication that can happen to the most experienced of docs, and you are likely causing yourself more grief. Bad things happen to good (read:innocent) people ( & animals) all the time. This is precisely why Doctors, human and animal alike, make us (or, next of kin) sign release forms - in part to inform, but mostly to cover their own butts. I work in this field, so I am NOT just blindly handing out advice.
Please just try not to cause more grief for yourself. I am so sorry this happened

I am so sorry for your loss. I make sure and get a CBC Full Blood panel before my dogs go under.

Thanks for your thoughts. However I also have rights & YES my Lexie is leading me in the right direction & something WILL be done.

Thanks everyone. My Lexie will forever be part of my heart.

What a tragedy. I am so sorry for your loss.
R.I.P. Lexie.

Hugs,

Sorry for your loss. I lost a maltese like you. The vet wanted to replace my dog but at this time I was so sad that I thought that no dog could replace mine. After a while I bought a yorkie. You have to be strong. I know it'svery hard because for dog lovers like us, they are not pets they are our babies and are part of the family.
All my sympathy.

I am so sorry for the loss of your little Lexie, however you really have no recourse to sue, as others have said. You choose to have her spayed, you signed the paperwork stating what was going to be done, before, during and after and the risks of surgery, you were well aware that this could of happened and you continued with the surgery. The Vet did what you wanted to have done. NOONE expects this to happen, but sadly enough it does. IM not trying to be mean, so please dont take it like that...

My heart is breaking for you...I am so sorry for your loss

sushidoodidoo · 01-05-2010, 07:21 AM

So so sorry for the terrible loss. I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you to go through this. My heart aches for you. Please be strong, and cherish her memory. She was a beautiful girl. Love her photos.

One side note about the pre-op bloodwork: I think it is very very important. Not just for the teacups but any size dog. My 10lb shih tzu had to go under for a dental, but the bloodwork showed that she had kidney problems. So they had to put her on IV for 24 hrs before going ahead with th op. And good thing we did find out about the kidney problem, as she had no symptoms.
