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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

I am terribly sorry for your loss. I have an 8 year old cat, and he is my first and only pet I've ever had and I know it will be a devastating day when he passes on. My condolences. As for those who gave this a YDI, there is a good possibility that it was hit by mistake. I know that was the mistake I made for this particular post. You certainly don't deserve this at all and I hope you are doing alright. Feel better. :]

that's really sad. what's going on with these people who click YDI on stuff like this, clearly when the OP didn't do anything wrong.

no don't sue the vet! i'm sure the vet nd the rest of the staff attending to the surgery did all they could. surgery is risky for anyone, humans and animals. a lot can go wrong. older dogs, small dogs, and puppies are all at higher risk for something going wrong during surgery. (i work in a vet clinic. i know what i'm talking about) anything using anesthetics pose a risk to the animals life. maybe your dog was allergic to the anesthesia? if the vet paid for every animal that had ever been lost in surgery they wouldn't be in business still, lives are priceless- hello if your dog died you wouldn't just want it replaced by a new one! i am terribly sorry for your loss, i have 4 dogs and i'd be crushed if anything happened to one of them.
