To lose a beloved pet is hard enough but to compound that suffering due to a bad vet makes it all the worse. When Cassie's distemper symptoms came back...it was with such ferosity that in one week she had gone blind and lame. The seizures were unending the night before I decided to put her to peace. The tragedy is that we ended up in the hands of an unethical and heartless vet that performed numerous unwaranted surgeries... he knew she was dying, knew what was ailing her from the start but did not disclose it until after she was gone. On the day she was put to sleep he accidentally let it slip out. His objective was to make money off a vulnerable client. It is possible that her little body was weakened by all the procedures to the point that she could not fight back. I have had to forgive this man and myself for trusting him so blindly or I would not be able to go forward. It has made me skeptical of all vets and I no longer trust anything they say without checking into it first by doing research on the net and getting other opinions. This vet had me so convinced that he was looking out for her because he reduced every bill as if he was doing something kind. So be careful who you trust with your precious pets sometimes they are wolves in sheeps clothing.
Cassie was like no other, she went everywhere with me and was in a way, my little furry soul mate. She lived just under four years and was just coming up on her fourth birthday August 20, 2008. I will never forget her.
If anyone has any questions about distemper or how Cassie was originally treated as a puppy, please let me know.
I thought I would never have another dog, but one day, I stumbled into a pet store just to see if I could handle being around dogs again. What transpired will have to wait for a future blog.
