Veterinary Wrongdoing, Malpractice etc
The Toonces Project (www.thethooncesproject.com) is a new website to
help people when their pets are the victim of veterinary malpractice. I created it after my poor cat Toonces was permanently brain damaged after spending a weekend boarding at Kindness Animal Hospital in Wheaton MD. The vet/owner, Marc Katz admitted that my cat had got a massive insulin overdose (then he later denied it which was outrageous IMHO as the records document just that, as do his symptoms and the neurologists evaluation) I filed a complaint with the Maryland State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, but the whole process is so hard that I want to help others and also encourage them to report these things. Only when consumers demand better regulation will the vet industry improve. The State Board found the owner of Kindness Animal Hospital, Marc Katz, in violation of the Veterinary Practice act for allowing an unlicensed person to given insulin shots w/o supervision. I am now collecting disciplinary records from all over the country in the hopes of providing a convenient place online for people to look up their vets. I've heard from so many people since who have very sad stories, but it's hard to convince them it's important to take action. I hope by providing resources and support to make this easier so that problem vets will be identified. If you have had a pet injured or killed at the vet, and need help, contact us through the website. I am also interested in hearing the stories of others with similar experiences. |

I'm really sorry to hear about your cat. I fear that cases such as
yours are far more common that we think. |
