Male kitten spayed by mistake

[Catty1]

Good news that Rocky is on the mend and coming home!

If you have a Chamber of Commerce or a Better Business Bureau in your town, you might check this pet place to see if there have been any other problems with the same vet.

Then the vet's medical association might be informed...I'd hate this to happen to any other kitty.

Actually - even WITHOUT a C of C or BBB, calling the vet's board might be an idea. Might not be the first time they have heard of this happening...


Looking forward to pics!

So glad to hear that little Rocky is doing better!

They've done the same thing before? I'd call the state vet's board in a heartbeat. To make a mistake like this is beyond inexcusable.

Blessings ~ So glad to hear that Rocky is doing better. How wonderful of the vet not to charge for the emergency care. I sure wish we had more like him.

I used a clinic for ferals in my area and I know for a fact that the person doing the surgery was not a vet. There was a vet on call, but there was not a vet at the site. I wonder if reduced rates mean not the "A team"..... Even human surgery is done by understudies, with full surgeons "supervising"..... so why wouldn't a tech know how to spay/neuter, after watching the vet do it for years on end.

I would ask that not only you not be charged, but that you get care covered for this dear kitten for some time. A credit at another vet's would work for me! Gosh. Such a screw up.

I am glad little Rocky is going to be ok. Keep us posted.

I found out today that this HAS happened many times brfore. In fact, they had done a spay only to find out after she was in heat that she was opened, but the spay was never completed. I was then told that the techs do all the "charity" work. Nice to know, since they still charge...just a reduced rate.

Anyway, my little man is home and happy, and I have gone online and rated the animal hospital and pet resort...took their A+++ rating notch or two!

Pictures are forthcoming...thanks again everyone!

Turn these people into the vet board.
How many have they killed because of their stupidity? Yes, I understand techs can do the work but it's so obvious they are not propertly trained.
The minute I'd hear "happened many times before" I'd be out that door so fast with my aniamal and going somewhere else.
An "eye team" investigative reporter from the local news station would love to have this story brought to his/her attention.

That Is Beyond Careless.
It Is Criminal Neglience.
I Would Let The Media Know This, Before Other Pets Are Hurt.

I would make the vet clinic absorb the emergency costs, it was after all on their vet's faults

I totally agree with you, Craftlady. I'd also report this clinic. Vet Techs are not licensed vets and have absolutely no business doing surgery. That is just plain butchery!!

Poor little Rocky. I'm praying for the little guy.

Wow Absolutely unbelievable! I'm glad hes home now and on the way to recovery.
