OMG This can't be real! My whole family is out of town, I'm farm sitting, and the (explitive) vet killed my mom's baby. A little girl was visiting last week and broke Kiwi's leg, but she had a cast and was getting around as happily as ever. Yesterday morning, I dropped her off at the vet (supposedly, very reputable) so they could check that her circulation was good, etc. They said they would call, that she would probably be ready to pick up in a few hours. I called a 12:00. The vet got on the phone ( I should have suspected something then) and said Kiwi was fine. He had loosened the pressure on her arm, but she hadn't woken up from sedation yet so I probably wouldn't be able to get her until 3:00 or 4:00. I checked back at 2:15. The vets assistant called me back at 2:30 saying she was still asleep but not to worry because the vet said he would take her home and take care of her if she wasn't ready by five. They said they would call me back.
Finally at 5, my mom called them from her vacation, then called me in absolute hysterics because they said she DIDN'T MAKE IT and had died 30 min. earlier.
He went on to say that they knew they were in trouble as soon as they sedated her, and they gave her medicine to bring her out of it. Since the medicine didn't work, there must have been something wrong with her liver. Yeah, right. . .of course it wasn't his fault. I don't know why he had to sedate a Yorkie to check its cast anyway!
I feel like they are not telling us the whole truth, and there's nothing I can do about it. My family won't be back until Friday. I've cried until I'm sick . . . this is making me crazy!
Rest in peace little one.
