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

Very sad to hear. Unfortunately, these things happen. Sorry it had to happen to you.

Routine surgery where "no dog had ever died from this procedure" is crap. If this isn't fake, then you shouldn't have believed that, no matter how minor the surgery may have been. But still, FYL, sorry for your loss, RIP OP's dog.

I work @ a vet clinic and let me tell you, these things happen. Sure, they probably happenn to 1 out of 1,000 cases but it DOES happen that a dog or a cat dies during a routine surgery .Not because of us but because of an underlying health problem, mostly. If people would only allow us to run full bloodworks before every surgery, we would be able to prevent these things even more so but blood work is expensive and therefore, most people decline it. I am sorry for your loss.

#60: I thought about it, I still come up with idiot. Not only did they sign the paper, but they probably didnt read it. Also, now they are complaining on the internet about it. They deserve it

I'm so sorry man. #2, it's not like an XBOX or a phone. You can't just replace it like that. I had my two dogs die during the football season, after we took state we got another dog, he's not a replacement, he's an addition.
