I just thought that since it wasn't the vets fault that the cat attacked, that she shouldn't sue. But if it was just for medical bills, then I can understand it. It's not like the vet was negligent though.
I have worked for good vets and vets I walked out within days on the job. This was a decent vet & a nice man. However he fired her after the lawsuit. So she went after him on that too. He was supposed to keep her job for her... She was out of work for a long time because of the infection. I don't work anymore in that field because I love animals too much to see some of the bs that goes on. I always have a zoo here. From birds, lizards, snakes & stray dogs & cats have passed through my doors(& one rat ewwww). I find them homes and I usually have to spend my money for their vet bills but at least I know they go to good homes. I still want a fainting goat but the town isn't going for that. My sister in law was also qualified to take in wild animals, raccoons,owls etc so she is an animal lover . She wasn't looking for any huge amount of money just to get her bills paid & the damage fixed. I know she was mad when she didn't have her job waiting for her. I would have been too. She believes he was able to hire someone to replace her at a lower wage. I would tend to agree as she was working for him for many years. I quit when she got hurt as I had little children at home. I just didn't want to work with cats after that. I love cats and have 4 of my own. Thankfully all are sweet. My Siamese is a rescue cat that was so abused when we got him that he couldn't shut his mouth. We spent quite a bit to get him healthy & I love him very much. Its so funny to see the 4 Shih tzu and the Pekingese/Shih tzu mix chase him. All 5 of them go running after him until he turns and you see 5 little dogs running for their lives.
