Vet struck off for falsifying export certificates

Hmmmm....... I didn't know that, Benson.

Every dodgy dealer/transporters dream vet practice then. Handy being so close to the channel..........:rolleyes:
 
absolutely. I and a group of others are complaining to the RCVS about the vettings he does for a dealer that doesnt know him personally (!) but has him vet all of their horses! There are 7 of us on my complaint, and I know of another person also doing the same with more people.
Great vets practice. not.
 
This doesn't surprise me at all !

I sued the other vet mentioned in this article in 2002 as he vetted a horse I was buying but didn't supply me with the certificate for over a month so I couldn't insure and in the meanwhile the horse died of colic.

I won but there are plenty of other goings on at that practice including falsifying export certificates.
 
Who obviously didnt know anyone to ask for advice before taking it... There are plenty of similar places - but there is always someone desperate enough to take the job - I actually feel sorry for that vet,
 
I have asked myself that question so many times. I was told they were coming to do a vetting on another horse at the same yard I was buying from. little did I know many many others on here were told exactly the same story!
 
I cant comment on the actual vet practice, just the main vet there. I know my experience with him was bad, but cant comment on the actual business.
 
Mmm! This is interesting when I consider the second vet in this report told me over the phone that my foal was going to die, I could waste money on having him looked at but he reckoned it wasn't worth it - bearing in mind he had not actually physically seen the foal! So never been impressed!
By the way the foal is now eight years old!! And had retained meconium!!

Hi,
I think we have just been caught by the same scam as you. What happened in your case??

I don't see a crime! When I sell horses I give the buyer the name of two reasonably local vet practices - THEY decide which one they'll use - or if they'll use another completely!

One vet has actually vetted about 6 of my horses now - so I know him now! He's a damn good vet and I'm damn sure he would fail one of my horses if there was reason!

When a vet 'vets' a horse, he acts for the buyer - and if a dealer recommended just one vet to me, I'd get another - not because I suspected the vet was corrupt - but because I would suspect that the dealer likes him because he's crap and couldn't spot a lame horse if it kicked him on the a*se!

I suggest everyone is a bit careful about what they say on this thread!!
