Q: Can I sue the vet for malpractice?
The first vet said my cat had an infection. I had to take him back about 5 times. He just gave him more antibiotics. It getting worse. Several spots were on him. The vet told me he couldn't do any more for my baby. Another vet referred me to a reputable vet. I took him. She said I should have brought him to her before it got so bad. What ever it was eating his flesh, plus he definitely had an infection. She said because it is spread through out his inside. She said he had a flesh eating disease. Because it was so extensive, there is nothing that can be done for him. She said antibiotics would not do him any good. I have been crying all day. He was my therapy cat. Iam so lost without him. I am angry. I am a disabled senior. I paid that vet a lot of money and he did nothing for my cats treatment. Should I sue him in court?
