Veterinary Ethics
I think everyone, including vets, make mistakes. The measure of a person,
however, is how they handle the mistakes they make. As a lot of you know, Bandit was severely burned by a rice-filled heating bag when she got a dental cleaning last year. I didn't find the burn until a week later when her hair started sloughing off of her belly and the skin had become gangrenous. Since it was almost 10:00PM when I found it, we rushed her to the emergency vet. The emergency vet hedged and would only say it *looked* like a burn and wouldn't speculate on how it got there (even though we told them about the recent dental). I was racking my brains trying to think about what around my home may have caused this burn - I didn't once think it might have been caused by the vet since it didn't appear until almost 10 days after her dental (I may have twigged to this later, but didn't have the chance to as per below). When I brought Bandit into her regular vet the next morning the vet *immediately* said, "This had to have happened during the dental, the heating bag must not have been monitored well enough." She performed two subsequent surgeries to remove the burned and gangrenous skin on Bandit's stomach (and from the burns that cropped up on her back and side later), she did extensive bloodwork and urine testing, provided pain medications, burn medications, and antibiotics - all free of charge - and reimbursed me for what I spent at the emergency vet's office. She also called me twice a day to ask about Bandit the whole time she was recovering, and continually expressed her regret and concern over what had happened. I was angry and upset that my baby had to go through all that pain and suffering, but I couldn't fault the vet for how she handled the mistake they made. If she had tried to hide their mistake, or had refused responsibility for correcting their mistake, I probably would have considered legal action. But since she *did* admit she made a mistake, and did everything in her power to correct that mistake, I felt Bandit was well cared for and I continue to see this vet. [They threw out the rice-filled heating pads and reported the incident to the AVA, other vets and vet hospitals in the area, and all other associations she was affiliated with.] -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

You're just trying to establish an alibi because you abused your pet, and now you somehow fear that the law is going to catch up with you. That's what you're up to. I know panic and desperation when I read it.. Well I hope they do, you friggin' liar. Don't expect any sympathies around these here parts, either. Especially the way you chastised poor grieving Kandace the other day. Burn you cat...? Burn in hell, jerk-off.. I hope they burn YOU. IBen |
