I called the veterinary licensing board but the supervisor was out. I plan to call back later.

The guy's name was Dr Calaceto - he's based out of Bristol, CT.

I'll be steering way clear of him and his "practice"

Edited to add: Aha. digging up some dirt on this wanker. Apparently he's been sued for negligence before, in dealing with Horses. And he's running one of those "Discount spay/neuter" clinics. Figures.

Some day, maybe people will learn - when you cross me, I come back to haunt you.
