Vet Negligence Lawsuit: $4.6 Million Claim After Teacup Yorkie's Death

A Manhattan psychiatrist is suing a veterinary clinic for $4.6 million over the death of her Yorkshire terrier, Coco. The lawsuit alleges that the vet, described as inexperienced, removed 16 of Coco's teeth, leading to cardiac arrest and death. The plaintiff claims the vet failed to provide timely emergency care. "The vet's negligence caused my beloved Coco's death," the distraught owner stated. The video evidence, showing Coco's condition before and after the procedure, supports the claims of negligence. This case highlights the importance of thorough veterinary care and raises questions about the standards of practice in the profession. The outcome of the lawsuit will likely impact veterinary practices and animal welfare regulations.
