My dog died because of medication error.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's heartbreaking to lose a beloved pet, especially under such difficult circumstances. Medication errors can happen for a variety of reasons, such as incorrect dosage, administering a medication not suitable for your pet, or even an allergic reaction. It's important to remember that these things can sometimes be beyond your control, and seeking support during this time is essential.



When medications are prescribed, ensure you're clear on the correct dosage and administration method. If anything seems unclear, never hesitate to ask your veterinarian for clarification. It’s also a good idea to keep a close watch on your dog's behavior when trying a new medication. Signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or any sudden changes in behavior could be red flags that something isn't right.



If you still have concerns or questions about what happened, it might help to speak with a vet for a post-event consult. This can be very healing and can also provide guidance on best practices for future pets. Remember, we're here to help. Consider booking a video consult with us on Dial A Vet so we can discuss your experience and give you the support you need.
