I would like to thank everyone that wrote here for me and my family. I still struggle every day now that our routine is broken. I have a child care service in my home and all the children are missing her so much. I am still very angry at myself for not getting that second opinion when I first felt that there was something wrong with the first vets diagnosis. I have talked to a couple of people and they are saying that there is nothing I can really do. I feel that the first vet making the wrong diagnosis cost my dog her life. I feel that the first vet was only out for money because they gave us a $1000.00 estimate for a dental cleaning for when Babe's infection was cured with the antibiotics they gave her. They also charged us $25.55 for her nails to be cut. I could go on with dollar amounts they charged us but the bill was 388.59 and the second opinion and the right diagnosis was only $ 96.00. Is this feeling of anger towards the first vet wrong. I wasted almost 2 weeks that "might" of saved my baby. I so hate my decision going to that top of the line vet with their own hospital and lab on their premises. Does anyone out there know if there is anything I can do before this happens to any other beloved pet.
Our new vet has sent there condolences in a beautiful card with a dog on the front of it. She wrote:Just a quick note to say my thoughts are with you. I was so sorry to hear that Babe had passed away. She was clearly a very well loved member of your family; I can only imagine how much you must be missing her. My deepest sympathy. The vet signed her name.
I thought this was so beautiful. They had only met Babe in January and they tried everything they could think of and they also made regular phone calls to see how she was doing.
