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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

That's what you get for going to the vet. I give my 6 dogs their own surgeries when needed. It's acctualy quite simply, butcher knives and crazy glue. :) GL

That really sucks :/ I mean I don't think the vet should of said that even if he had not had this type of incident there is always risk to any surgery.

I'm so sorry about that. You should freakin' sue the vet. And all of you saying YDI are pathetic.

You can't just sue because you feel like it. Have you ever had a pet operated on? You must sign a waiver, no matter who the vet is, relieving them of responsibility if the animal passes away. Anesthetics are the number one reason why an animal would die during a surgery.

As a guide dog user, I'm especially upset reading this. My dog and I are a team. When she's not in harness she's just like any other dog and I love her. I'd be really angry at a vet for promising me my dog would be okay, and then giving me a call later to tell me he lost her on the table. You should have an autopsy done to rule out why the dog died. It's incredibly possible the dog had a heart issue nobody knew about.
