I’m heartbroken, in disbelief, and I need guidance. My bunny, Pom Pom, was spayed at Cornell University Animal Hospital on Wednesday. She made it through the riskiest part (as you all know anesthesia can be extremely risky with Bunnies), and I was told she was fine that evening. Then Thursday morning, I got a call saying she was being a “fussy eater.” An hour later, they called again and told me she had aspirated and died. I was screaming on the phone asking “what happened?!” but whoever called me was completely silent. I sped there as fast as I could needing answers. The surgeon came in the room, as I was holding Pom in her blanket balling my eyes out, saying that when he went to intubate her there was critical care IN HER THROAT!!! Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to believe that an hour after she ate she aspirated?! Bunnies can’t throw up so there is no way she was alive for an hour and then all of a sudden died. I guarantee they forced it down her throat and made it too thick to swallow. It makes me sick to think about. They’re supposed to be one of the top Veterinary schools in the states, yet you don’t give me solid answers?
None of this adds up. I feel like they’re leaving things out and trying to cover up what really happened. This was supposed to be one of the top vet hospitals in the country — and they killed my baby.
I want justice for Pom Pom. I need help finding a lawyer or law firm that takes veterinary malpractice cases, it doesn’t matter if they have experience against big institutions like Cornell, I just want someone who can help. If anyone knows where I can start or has gone through something similar, please, please reach out.
Pom Pom didn’t deserve this.
