Rights 4 Pets at Vets

As some of you will know, almost 3 years ago now I lost my beautiful Bodie to GDV or bloat, this is a very serious condition in dogs and you should all know about it.  There is a note on our FaceBook page telling you more.

I knew Bodie had bloat, I knew he needed surgery yet I was dismissed by a young vet as being over cautious.  My dog died in agony in the back of my van on the side of the road.   I had gone to a different vet as I had just moved, I feel sure that if I had gone to my own vets in Leigh then my dog would now be enjoying ripe old age.

The attached video is from a campaign group trying to get the legislation changed so that Veterinary Surgeons are accountable for their mistakes.  It is not a campaign against Vets, I have been with my vets for close on 20 years without a problem.

Please watch the video and check out the website http://www.rights4pets.co.uk/ and their FaceBook page Justice4Ted.  As pet owners you are all affected because unfortunately things can and do go wrong.
