The Vet Failed to Properly Diagnose My Dog ! !


I brought my very limp dog into the veterinary clinic.

As he lay the dog on the table, the doctor pulled out his stethoscope, placing the receptor on the dog's chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said,
"I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away."

"What?" I screamed. "How can you tell? You haven't done any testing on him or anything. I want another opinion!"

With that, the vet turned and left the room.

In a few moments, he returned with a Labrador Retriever.
The Retriever went right to work, checking my poor dead dog out thoroughly.

After a considerable amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head and said, "Woof".

The veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few moments with a cat, who also checked out my poor dog on the table.

As had his predecessors, the cat sadly shook his head and said, "Meow." He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room.

The veterinarian handed me a bill for $600.00.

With that, I just went "postal."

"$600.00 ! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!"

The vet shook his head sadly and explained.

"If you had taken my word for it, it would have been $50 . . .




but, with the Lab work and the Cat scan . . ."
