My family is now mourning the unnecessary and tragic death of our small dog after going to an abrupt and rough handling vet. The dog was scared while having his mouth opened which angered the vet even more. My gut feeling was to leave immed. which I did not thinking a vet knows more than I and we'll leave and just never come back. After a nip on the thumb and explicit g**d**** spoken by this vet I knew this was not going to be good. A muzzle was placed on our small dog and with force his teeth were examined until the vet noticed he was looking limp. To make a long story short my chihuahua exp'd cardiac arrest and died within minutes. Myself and my family are so upset and distressed about this I cannot tell you the grief we are experiencing. To go for a dental exam and come home with a dead dog is irresponsible and negligient vet care. I'm so angry right now. This pet was part of our family for 11 yrs. and to die because some vet wanted to make him obedient is beyond my comprehension.
