Thread: Medical misadventure

one of our foundation bitches had a routine spaying but died 12 mths later after a not looking quite right one morning.
the vets blamed it on everything from poison to possible genetic heart problems, i'm sure tussock will love that one.
what they didn't count on was the lenght we went through to find out the cause, like many people with too much education they didn't want to listen to basic common sence, an autopsy was performed, different vet pratice, and set of forceps removed from her guts, wonder how they got in there bro.........

Kawhia that is terrible as a simple xray would have evidenced that. I do not have experience of medical misadventure with animals but my wife's uncle today has no arms or legs and is missing a big chunck of his nose due to septicemia causing the need for amputation after a simple operation. His wife (a nurse) warned doctors about the issue early on but was ignored until she got really vocal (by which time it was too late).

Rushy that is awful, only said the other day to a close female friend thinking of 'cosmetic surgery', only go under the knife if you HAVE to......you are beautiful as you are!

this highlights the very reason I posted this as most of us just say its all to hard and costly to find out let alone do anything about it .As Rushy said it happens in humans let alone animal and with animals only a very motivated owner could catch those lying fuctards out -and that they are when they don't own up to incompetence that ends in a death .You wouldn't keep going to a doctor that had a fine record of having patience dying under the knife ... and I'm sure it happens but they then get the chop by the medical profession but our animals have no such protector it appears --wrong or what
