Dr Theresa Harty fill in vet for Wed 4/18/2012.
negligence may not mean malicious however the put come is the same when a pet family dies because of ERROR by a Vet who should know proper protocol for sedations and dosing geriatric cats with medical conditions who WERE NOT DOING TO DIE, had been examed and had procedures done the day before and as I was told NO it is NOT time to put her to sleep she has every chance of a positive outcome with medications she was to start the day this Vet KILLED MY BABY GIRL!..as I say it may not have been intentional but the fact that my cat was by this Vets own admission OVERDOSED with TORB/ACE which she NEVER should have had to begin with especially without asking me how I felt or looking at the cats records.....she could not take torb to begin with and with HCH should never have been given anything like that better to use nothing and wait a day since she had sedation and fluid removed the day before...How would I know I only wanted her to start her new meds and give a quick check up......then on top of it she says she needs to have fluid drained...I thought she is a Vet certainly she knows how to and would not do any harm....she was so over dosed and drugged she hardly could breath and could not move at all and they put her in her carrier to send her home!!!! she was fine the day before I thought she had been given something very very mild...I ran back in with er and all she could say was she was passing..YES BECAUSE YOU GAVE HER TOO MUCH MEDICATION...still nothing was done..I had to go sit with her in a store room and hold a tube to her nose..no techs no Vet..nothing no moniters....no suctioning of her airway, nothing but noise and banging and loud talking and I had to go get the Vet who proceeded to scare her out of her sleep then she could not rest and started choking on her saliva which I told the vet she was doing as she could not swallow and she coughed and opned her mouth because she could not breath and started to panic thrashing her tongue around to try to clear her own airway and the tech just stood there like an idiot as well as the vet just leaning over saying yep she is passing REALLY??????????? I am no doctor and was afraid to pick her up and being in an emotional state while my cat laid there choking and biting her tongue in 2 while the vet still stood there....my cat was suffering and NO ONE did anything I finally said DO SOMETHING and all she said was it is time to put her to sleep.!!!!! NO NO NO YOU KILLED HER!!!!!!!!!what could I do you had no tech who knew what to do...YOU Theresa did not know what to do.you even said ""it is a good thing you (me) said to wait because it was the meds and she just needed to let them wear off"" YOU said that! ...my cat was NOT IN DANGER OF DYING but you made sure the day she was to have a good chance to get better that she died instead!!!!!!!!!!!!......you should be in jail!!!!!!!! and so should Dr Kelly Long Tomoka Pines Vet , at whos clinic you were filling in as he was on a day off again after he had just gotten back from yet another vacation on my money...and could not even bother to be concerned about his own long term senior patient who was immediately in need of professional care and got none!!!! you both should have your licenses taken and put in jail for what you have done!.....the pledge is First Do No Harm..........ignorance, being tired or over worked, being a fill in, not knowing the patient is NO EXCUSE for making GROSS AND NEGLIENT MISTAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
