Hi everyone,
I haven't really been posting lately because I'm still just so sad. I seriously come home and cry every day.
I've been thinking alot about suing the vet. I don't want money, I just feel like I'm letting them get away with something.
I don't want Ivy's memory to be forgotten. I feel like I didn't give the vet's a hard enough time. It was like I let them off too easy.
They should pay for what they did. They took a life, and a very precious one at that. Problem is I know that I would probably never win a case, I don't like conflict, and I know a lawyer is expensive.
I guess whatever I do, nothing will bring Ivy back but I'm just so conflicted. Like I just want to call the vet and say "I'm mad at you, I hope you think about Ivy every day of your life and at every surgery you perform"
I guess what really gets me is what the vet told me after the autopsy. She said a little congestion was found in her lungs. That they had been more careful than they usually are due to her respiratory issues.
Now the vet knew she snored, but I thought her respiratory issues were fine. Had I known there were "issues" I would have never allowed the surgery. I think they put her under and she suffocated. You don't take someone who can't breathe and suppress their lung function. I'm not a doctor and I fucking know that. So if there were issues why did they put her down???
