Ping Candace; Phoenix Vet Story
I just read a story about a Phoenix vet charged with animal cruelty
after hitting a Chihuahua with his fist, dislodging the dog's eye, becuase he was being "uncooperative." The dog was a patient to be spayed. I know you live very near that city, and was wondering if it's a vet you're familiar with. Also wondering how likely this guy is to get the book thrown at him. I hope so, *because* of the fact he's a vet, and hasn't just committed animal cruelty, but a horrible breach of trust. There was a vet here who starved his own herd of horses once. I just couldn't believe it. I know vets are just people, and there are good & bad. At least I hope the publicity will remind all of us to never hold anyone in charge of our pets above reproach. If I get a bad feeling about a vet, he's fired. Sherry |

I saw him on the news last night. He seemed like a cocky dick, insisting he did nothing wrong but smirking the whole time. The whole story was kind of sketchy but I guess it was his vet tech(s) who reported him. They showed the poor dog, "Bella," with her little eye all messed up, wearing an E-collar. That's about all I know, Dr. Joshua Something or Other. I hope they nail him, too, cuz he looked like a jerk. Candace |

Because I looked at his photo and first thing I thought was, "Yeah, you look like someone who'd beat up a chihuahua." Which sounds like a totally irrational thought. Thanks for the reply. Keep us posted if you hear how the story turns out. Sherry |

Sherry that is just NASTY, i hope they giev this guy a good beating, how coud la chihuahua be 'uncooperative' for gods sake? if it was about to be spayed it would have been sedated or something and no need to have it's cooperation. the man is obviously a complete **** of the highest order and if I were the owners of the little doggie i would not be waiting for the police and the courts to do anything, i would be waiting outside that mans house with a baseball bat, see how he likes having his eye gouged out what a nasty nasty piece of ****, this story just makes me so angry, the man should not just be struck off, he should be locked up, preferably somwhere where he is going to get buggered senseless every day by the other inmates. just ****ign unnecessary bookie |

I have never seen a vet hit an animal but I have seen a vet tech do it and I chewed her a new asshole and reported her to the head vet (another asshole). Since there was no damage to the animal, it was my word against hers. After that, if she ever hit an animal in front of me, I'd say something. She worked there for something like 20 years so of course she could do no wrong. That's one of the main reasons I left the practice. -L. |

That's just it. It's like a daycare worker abusing children. Whether he's on a power trip, or just hates his job and takes out his frustrations on the animals, who knows? No one should *ever* trust a vet because he's a vet. (and that statement is from experience--not an abusive vet, but I trusted an incompetent vet once) Hang around as much as you can and don't let them do anything behind closed doors, if it's a minor thing like lancing an abscess, or an exam. I had a vet even let me watch a dog spay once. It was *really* interesting and not at all bloody like I expected. It was so cute when he was bringing her out of anesthesia. He was talking to her, by name; and if you hadn't been watching, you'd swear he was talking to a child. Sherry |
