Kent vet

So, its all our fault then is it? The situation he has put many of us in is ok, because he has been too obliging?
 
Just a quick note, but any vet having good and bad reports are not mutually exclusive; just because someone does a good job for some people does not preclude them from being the proverbial cowboy with someone else, especially for financial incentives. Also, if I was worried that a horse was drugged up on the hush-hush, it's not the registered, accounted for drugs in the lock cupboard that I'd be looking to find the source, but something much less traceable in someone's back pocket as it were!
 
Re the Docking of Rottie puppies. This may be against the law but is not cruelty - the same procedure is perfectly legal for some breeds bred to work.

A case of the law being an equine with long ears and the RCVS was correct that time. All the other times and falsifying documents......and not learning from past experience ........makes for a vet I would not want on the register.
Hasn't another vet from the same practice also been convicted of falsifying documents? I'm very surprised that they are allowed to perform as LVO.
 
Those are the facts as I know them,not on the payroll ,never have been. David has saved the life of one of my horses,and indeed did fail a mare I was looking to buy on her flexion test.Just phoned me and did not proceed with the job or running up any more money on her. Shame,she was a nice cob.
Oh yes ,been caught out myself ,by the way,one was so bloody evil he had to sedate it to get it in the lorry to send it home,brave as Hell..ran in to a rearing mare and got the vein first try.And would`nt accept the offer of a helmet either,I was gobsmacked.Point is,if he vets something for me,I trust it,sorry if any of you find different.
We will just have to W@C what ,if anything ,can be proved won`t we? Personally I would`nt bet on anything .:)
Now,maybe we best all shut up until enough evidence is found or NOT to bring a case,don`t hold your breathe.

I haven't got the foggiest idea which post you are referring to as I've not seen a specific drug mentioned... Or any explanation of how you'd know what pharmaceuticals a particular vet surgery keep on their shelves... But I'm old, and have my dim days...

So in the words of Tom Hanks... "explain it to me like I'm a four year old" and please tell me which of your previous comment contains the clarification quite a number of us appear to be waiting for... :)

Um...am I to presume you have a problem reading text today EK? Or just being deliberately obtuse?

I can't think of any other reason for completely ignoring my request and repeating yourself after being told it was an answer that made no sense...

Unless, maybe clarification of anything you post is just a weak area for you... :confused:

Has anybody reported him to rcvs, or got anywhere at all with him? He really needs to be stopped. He vetted a horse I bought back in December who I found out a few months ago actually should not have been ridden this whole time, she could've collapsed whenever I worked her so this put both mine and her lives in danger. I paid for a 5 stage check, and trusted his professional opinion on the horse. I now have a horse who I can't ride and can't sell and it is all thanks to him.
 
This Vet, David Smith, told me in writing that a horses x-rays were clean. three months later the horse went lame behind. On second examination of the x-rays by two other vets at a different practice, i was told that the original x-rays clearly show ocd and arthritis. I spent a lot of money on this 4yr old show jumper, and he now just looks pretty in a field. Thank you David for wasting my money and time (not to mention emotional heart ache and a mental breakdown!!)
 
If you go on to Facebook site Dodgy Dealers The truth do a search on David Smith or ask the Admin and you will find that other people have had quite a bit of trouble with this man.
 
well l will help anyone out, give you my last to help and give people a 2nd chance but if you take the P then the worm turns and you will cop everything. So he will cop it everything.

You really are an ill-mannered little prat - hardly worth responding to! I've read the whole thread - which was why I thought it worth bringing up to date. What YOU said on the subject was very little! Can you add anything - or will you just restrictyourself to being rude?
 
A few years ago now, but we have a Norwich based vet, a man who I hold in high regard, and for some reason he 'adjusted' a date on a vaccination record for the horse owner. It was done, so I understand, as a favour. Somehow it came to light following the sale of the horse, the owner blamed the vet and he was barred from practice for six months. Every vet in the county was aware of what happened, and none that I know of would now run such a risk.

That ANY vet would put himself at risk over any dishonest dealings, has me wondering at their sanity level.

Alec.
 
Hello Alec
well l did respond to the lady previously with her comments and l wasn't honestly being rude, l am being cautious yes, but it seems not to of been posted, perhaps someone is watching as this is serious. l totally agree with you and you would not believe what is going on & what has been going on it is like going back 50yrs +, its unbelieveable. l would dearly like a list of names, animals & situations from approximately 1980 ish who have suffered, l have asked previously but no one messaged me perhaps that is an indication that people either cannot be bothered because it is now history or are scared to. l don't know what to think
 
Emmafielding, may I ask why you need specific cases and what you would do with the information? As legal cases can be sensitive, I am sure you will see why I ask.
