Jade Trotter
Our dalmatian underwent a partial tail amputation due to happy tail, the tail then got infected (pdsa stated it wasn't infected so why did they amputate her entire tail afterwards?) after the operation our girl was repeatedly vomiting and we assumed it was a side effect of the pain killers, the pdsa advised us to continue the medication in full knowledge she was vomiting. our dalmatian then required a further tail amputation (now left with a stump), she was sent home with no antibiotics, anytime surgery is done antibiotics are given as a general procedure however pdsa refused to give them stating she doesn't need them as the operation was done in a 'sterile area', unfortunately the outside world is not sterile therefore if or likely when this gets infected again there is no more tail to amputate and we will hold the Pdsa Liable. It appears the pdsa are it interested in ££££ and not the welfare of the animals. We are now going to a private vet to see if we can get our girl the antibiotics she should have been sent home with. Funnily enough they stroppliy said they couldn't gurantee anything and hoped we would accept being fobbed off. Do not recommend. A free pet or a low cost vet fees are not worth your dogs health or life.
