Today, I brought my dog to the vet for a routine surgery. The vets assured me that no dog had ever died during this procedure. Apparently my dog was the first. FML

Today, I was lying in bed recovering from a laparoscopy with my dog laying next to me. I fell asleep and later awoke to a burning pain on my incisions. My dog had decided the stitches would be fun to chew on. FML
Today, I took my dog for a basic spay and dental cleaning procedure. When I picked her up from the vet, I was reading through the surgery papers before they sent me away. They'd pulled 29 abscessed teeth and didn’t feel the need to tell me. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet. The vet asked me to hold him still and keep him chill while he took his temperature rectally. My dog freaked out, jumped, and the thermometer hit me in the face. The vet just said, “That’s a first.” FML
Today, I started my dream job of being a veterinarian. My first day consisted of having to put down 12 dogs and 5 cats. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet. Wanting to seem like a responsible owner, I lifted him onto the exam table. My back then cracked loudly, I dropped him, and he ran straight into a trash can. The vet sighed and asked, “Rough day for both of you?” FML
Today, I took my 17 year-old dog, who had been my best friend my entire life right from when I was born, to be euthanised. I had booked in advance. The vet ambled in all spritely and cheerfully asked, "Just here for a checkup, aye?" FML
Today, I went to visit my grandpa. He has an easily excited dog, who barreled into my freshly broken knee. I felt my knee move out of place again. The dog chipped a tooth. We went to the vet first. FML
Today, I was flattered to receive a hand-addressed letter for the first time in years. I tore it open to discover it was actually addressed to my dog. It was a vaccination reminder from his vet. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from the vet after she had surgery. I somehow managed to lock my keys, my purse, and my dog in the car. FML
Today, I was discharged from the hospital after having scrotal surgery. When I got home, the anesthetic had worn off, but I felt okay. Then my dog jumped up at me, paws slamming straight into my nuts. FML

You need to sue the shit out of that vet. Also, anyone who says you deserved it needs to go play in traffic, especially #44.

#89 if you can say I'm stupid without knowing me, then I can say whatever I want about the OP. I don't exactly mean that he deserved for his dog to die, it just irritates me that he signed the papers saying that his dog could die and is now complaining about it on the internet. If he actually read the paper, he would be so shocked that the dog died, I'm sure the forms explain all the risks clearly. Also, I chose YDI because a pet dying isn't the end of the world so it shouldn't be a FML.

Your a little heartless aren't you? You might have pets you might not, but a lot of people are attached to their pets. I would be really upset if one of my dogs would die. If like a death of a family member to some people, so don't go around saying what is a fml and what not.

Also, #89, you're telling someone not to jump down others' throats and you're the one calling me stupid. Sorry, I just don't like animals or people who don't consider consequences and then whine about it. Its always their fault.

Suing is retarded course of action. Money won't bring the dog back. My condolences, dogs are some of the best things in the world and it sucks to lose them.

Good luck suing. Most reputable vet clinics have you sign a waiver that you understand the risks, etc... Second, surgery is surgery no matter how 'routine' it is. Reactions to anesthetics, for animals, is rather uncommon (less than 1%) but it does occur and is deadly (guessing that's what happened). My dad (and sister) are vets. He sees usually like 1 animal at MOST a year that has that allergy. Had one die earlier this year. Lady was upset and threatened to sue. He didn't have to do anything but he decided he'd not charge her for the other animal she had brought in at the same time (spayed first, no problems) and have his clinic pay for a private cremation for her. Made her happy but he wasn't obliged to do jack squat for her because of the waiver.
