Hi,
Looking for some advice/ similar experiences as want to know where I stand!
My vet came out to do routine dental work on one of my horses, whilst rasping my horse jumped forward slightly the vet let go of the rasp leaving it in my horses mouth. My horse who was heavily sedated then lost balence and head butted the wall whilst rasp was still in his mouth causing it to be driven into his pallet.
He had to be rushed to an equine hospital for treatment.
Does anyone know where I stand regarding who should pay the bill, it's likely to be £1000's which I just don't have/ can't afford as already spent £2000 vets the last few months.
Any help would be appreciated.
They have been great vets and I know horses are unpredictable etc but something so routine has turned into such a nightmare :-(.
Planning on calling BHS legal advise line later.
Thank you so much for reading !
