You will need another veternarian to examine your dog and the dog's medical records to determine if he/she thinks the first vet violated the standard of care for veternarians.

Q. If you have 2 surgeries on the same injury. Is or can the settlement be double? First surgery wasn't a success.

Q. is criminal trespassing a class a or c misdemeanor
