Thank you for your kind response.
Our little boy was cremated today and my daughter and husband felt they had to let him go...They couldn't stand him being in the cold on his own.
We won't leave it at that however! There are too many things that happened and that cannot be denied because the vet herself gave herself away!
We've spoken to the newspapers today who were equally shocked.
I hope the butcher shop feel like it was worth it!
We're so angry but trying to be grateful for the absolute love and sunshine he brought into the life of this family! View attachment 115466

My heart just breaks for you and your family... I'm SO very sorry!!!

I understand your contacting a newspaper but would nonetheless like to suggest that you check with UK authorities whether this should be reported as a case of malpractice. An article in the newspaper will create bad publicity for the clinic (if identified in the article) but will not generate a formal complaint which is probably needed if you wish for an investigation concerning suspected malpractice.

I don't know how to report suspected veterinary malpractice in the UK, but would check with DEFRA, as [MENTION=13737]1Chumly[/MENTION] suggested, or https://animalowners.rcvs.org.uk/concerns/i-want-to-raise-a-concern-about-a-veterinary-surgeon/

I was happy to hear your daughter has been in touch with the breeder for a new pup, and I wish you all the best.

My condolences and prayers to you and your family. I don't even know what to say about this. Hoping you get some answers and are able to seek remedies if they are truly at fault. I know the money won't bring your baby back, but they should pay if they did indeed cause the loss of your baby because they were greedy and negligent.

Thank you cefe31.
My daughter requested all clinical details today and sought advice from citizens advice bureau! Apparently it's about the 'service' you pay for and if the standards are not met then complain to Royal College of Vets UK.
That's the plan.
Thank you so much for your detailed email it's so very much appreciated xx
