Question

What does Animal Law state regarding this situation: My dog was a patient of a veterinary clinic and one of the veterinary clinics' employee's (not the veterinarian-not even sure if she had a tech's license) took my dog home over the weekend and administered IV's, drugs, even Torbugesic to him over the course of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from her home with no vet present or supervising. I was denied access to see or visit my pet during this time and they did not notify me when my dog's condition changed. He died on Sunday at the employee's home. Even after he died, they still are denying me access to see where my pet spent his last days and moments. Please help.

Hi,

I am terribly sorry that your Sheltie passed. The following website may offer you some comfort http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/rainbowb.htm Although I am not a lawyer your situation seems like it would warrant the attention of one. I would suggest that you contact a lawyer in your state and explain the situation. Include that you believe that the person caring for your pet may not have been licensed to do so and that you were not updated as to chnages and treatments. Additionally, you may want to contact the Better Business Buereu at www.bbb.org and file a formal complaint against this business. I hope this was helpful and if you need any other resources, let me know. -Robyn
