I just read a family are devastated after their Jack Russell was put down by mistake when it was taken to the vet's.

The dog had a cough and the antibiotics did not work so he was taken back, the son of the family was asked by the vet if he would like to take the dog home and bury him and the guy said "What Are You Talking About", no consent form had been signed - it was a terrrible mistake.

I always thought vets tried their best to talk you out of putting a dog down unless it was really necessary?

Needless to say the family have made a formal complaint.

Poor family and poor dog!

That is awful Karl, I hope the family sue the vet.

How upsetting ...I saw this and didn't want to read in the papers ....we would all be inconsolable !!!
Pebbles is my baby .....lime many peoples animals ....I'm sure Marian would agree ...

I would agree too having looked after Amber years ago during family holidays, they are part of the family. I even bought her a present at Christmas.

Awww bless her

Oh my word, i would be just devastated if that happened to either of my dogs. It must be bad enough when you have no choice--but when it was not even neccessary......
