Hello, and thank you for reaching out. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re dealing with such a difficult situation. It's important to differentiate between veterinary malpractice and a tragic outcome that nobody could have predicted. Veterinary malpractice usually involves negligence or improper conduct, whereas a tragedy can occur despite the best care.
Some potential causes for a tragic outcome could include an unexpected reaction to a medication, an undiagnosed underlying condition, or complications from a procedure. These instances, though heartbreaking, can occur even with quality veterinary care.
At home, ensure your pet is comfortable and monitor them for any concerning symptoms. Keep an eye out for signs like persistent vomiting, diarrhea, severe lethargy, or difficulty breathing, which require immediate professional attention.
In dealing with your feelings and concerns, it might be helpful to compile any questions or observations you have about your pet’s treatment history. An open discussion with your veterinarian can often clarify much about what happened and alleviate doubts.
I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet, where we can discuss your pet's situation more thoroughly. Our aim is to provide clarity and peace of mind as you navigate this challenging time.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
