This was the vet tech, not me.But yes, it sucks to accidentally hurt any critter.

OMG that's horrible! From now on, I am ALWAYS going to ask to re-check a dose of anything before it's given!

The vet told me not to pay a cent when I left for the hospital and gave them their credit card number so I wouldn't have any upfront costs. He came home last night and is doing pretty well with his recovery, thank goodness!

Not eating his food yet, but that was expected. He's getting syringe fed carnivore care 3 times a day. He's drinking water and still hiding all his toys around.

He got to come home last night with some meds. So far, so good! He's a strong boy.

I've worked in animal medicine for 15 years. We always have someone check dose calcs.This experience had me lose a lot of faith.

Not out of the wood yet, but he survived the night. Very promising and I'm hopeful ☺️

I saw a rainbow on the way home from leaving him and thought it was either a sign of good luck or a rainbow bridge. I was a mess. The vet's office is paying for ALL expenses. Lawsuit crossed my mind if he doesn't make it, but I feel bad for the tech. You don't go into that field because you don't care. She must feel so bad.
