Veterinary malpractice . . . what should I do?

that is sad and the vet clearly did something wrong, otherwise why offer free services ... if he did nothing wrong he would be expecting every single dime ... but the reality is reporting a crappy vet is like reporting a crappy cop ... vets are managed by other vets just like cops are managed by other cops, and just who do you think they will side with ??? you can report all you like but it will make no difference ... it is sad your poor dog is gone and i know you are in the mode to make someone pay or at least acknowledge what happened, but i don't see that happening ... your best bet is to grieve your dog and move on ... even if you sued him, the vet did perform the surgery and would still be entitled to be payment unless it could be proven he screwed up and you will never prove that though i am sure he did screw up ... the only way to prove would be to have a necropsy which is not possible where you are ... they cover their es well those vets ... and don't be surprised if you receive falsified records ... i did when my vet screwed up and the veterinary ociation basically laughed at me ... just get on with your life ... really sorry about your dog ...
