Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
I am very surprised that they didnt ask for payment because by them not requesting payment, it is an admission of fault...I would have their @ss in court soooooo fast! it not for the money but the point! even if you donate the money to an animal fund! but go after them...they were careless!

I know you are right. And the woman who did this surgery is close to retiring. She even made a comment "this is not how I want to start my retirement" -- REALLY B*TCH because this is NOT how I wanted to pick up my puppy after a routine surgery.

i completely agree!! that "Vet" was completely negligent and unsympathetic about her SCREWUP!!! I say SUE, and put whatever settlement you get into a Molly fund, for whatever aftercare she may possibly need in the future!
she looks sooooooooo adorable!!!

There is a really adorable canopy bed that I want to buy her. She may get it anyway for all her pain and suffering. DH will kill me.

I KNOW!!!!!!! I feel like I have to get it. But meanwhile she doesn't even sleep on the two beds she has now. She would rather sleep in my closet or on the bathroom floor.
Weird pup.

I know - if I'm ever going to be able to get away with getting it - now's the time. I can always say that my parents bought it for her. That would work.

Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
She will be fine with one kidney but get in touch with a new vet and ask for a special diet one that does not place a strain on kidneys...do some research too...

Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
Whether you decide on legal action or not, I would never bring Molly back to that place. Even though the doctor was not on staff there, she was still hired and therefore deemed credible by them and they are still responsible for her actions. No way!

Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
Diana- have you tried the Wantagh Animal Hospital? My mom has taken all our pets there over the years. She's been making a lot of visits to one vet in particular in the practice, unfortunately, but my mom thinks highly of her. I can get her name if you want.
As for suing, I think if it will make you feel better then do it. I don't know if I would but I am the type who prefers to not deal with painful things any longer than I have to, and with a suit you may have to relive a lot of this for a while. But I think the bad publicity from a suit would ensure that this vet would lose a lot of business and maybe people would think more carefully about going to him.

Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
Because I know what its like to have a sick pet and shell out 1-2k a vet bill just for him I would def take legal action. Your baby is that just a baby and while I pray she doesnt ever need some serious tx in the future you just dont know and should take every precaution too. Dont worry about the EM hospital- this per diam MUST have thier own malpractice insurance to work there once in awhile, I doubt very much they are under EM hospitals umbrella. I know mistakes happen but that is why there is malpractice insurance. I wouldnt feel bad either. Good luck- I also would NOT pay the bill for this and dont take too long with your decision, if you are going to sue/take legal action dont wait.

Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
We are more than likely going to meet with a lawyer. The EM animal hospital really has been great with the whole thing (they just called me now for an update) - so it's not so much against them as against this woman. In the end though - we have to do what we have to do - and are really only concerned about Molly and any future issues that may occur.
If someone would have told me this on Tuesdaay morning before I dropped her off that this could happen I would have never believed it. It's just NUTS!
But - good news is - she's still the same little lunatic that she was before.

Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
Have you looked into Pet Insurance for her? You might want to look into it now and see if she could get coverage for any problems she may have in the future from this surgery. I hope she never has any complications, but just in case. My boss has insurance on both of her cats. One was just diagnosed with jaw cancer and the insurance is covering most of her meds and exams. Good luck.

NEVER take molly back tothat Vet EVER
and i would be speaking to a lawyer
Def talk to a lawyer. It is not about the money. THis vet was an azzhole and the same thing could happen to another pet. Please try to stop this from happening again.

Re: All opinions needed please - updated with pics
To make sure that your is OK...I
bring my dog to SPecialized Vetinary care in Westbury. You have to have them refer you to them though. It is only on a referral basis by another doctor.
I am so sorry about your dog!
