| stupid stupid vet
the stupid vet was supposed to take paco in today, but ended up sending him home with MORE medication...that i have to pay for...i don't know what to do, seeing as i've already had to pay 650$ for a surgery that didn't even work.
they were supposed to redo it today because his ear isn't healing at all, and instead they send him home with almost 100$ worth of more medicine.
AND they told me that his ear can taqke up to 4 or 5 months to heal completely and i will have to pay for new medication everytime its needed (appr. every 2 weeks) so that will turn into around 200$ every month. 
i can't afford that  shouldn't it be their problem? they are the ones who did his surgery wrong in the first place. AGGGH i don't know what to do about this 
sorry bout the ranting xxxx  |

#4 | | Guest | Awww poor you!
I think we've been so lucky... we joined the vets mum took Macca and Charley to.
And when Lulu was poorly when we got her, they looked after us really well, even though they gave her a week to live she's still here, cos of them (and us too i guess! lol!)
I'd kick their arses, considering they fucked it up in the first place!
Is there some kind of regulatory board you could contact about it?

| i am going to say something to them, AND get another opinion from the vet my dad uses. but i'm going to wait because i still owe them from the 650$ from the first surgery cuz we had a payment plan. but after i pay them that then i am going to let loose on them.
they said last week that they would do this surgery (the one today they were supposed to do) for free because it was obviously something that they did wrong, but when i called the stupid vet back today he said it wouldn't help any and they were just going to keep paco on medicine which i have to pay for really hate vets lol although your's sounds good hayley...think he makes overseas visits??  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hi i am a veterinary nurse, I you explain what the problem was and what he had done i might be able to help, and maybe answer some of your questions.
If you dont pay they WILL take you to court, but if you can prove that they have been negligent then you may have a case which would also be very expensive. and one vet might be reluctant to slag off another vet.
Ears are very difficult things to manage if they have infections.
might be able to give advice on alternate meds or treatment. |
