My dog has been so sick lately.....£5000 vet bill in 2 weeks. Thankfully he's insured. We have been going to the vet 2 or 3 times a week. He had to stay in for a week initially.
He has become very fearful of the vet and difficult to get blood from. So the vet prescribed some sedatives to take one the night before a vet visit and another on the morning of the visit. Last night I was giving him his medication, his steroids and a tablet to help his blood clot clopidogrel.
I then opened the pill bottle with the sedatives labelled as gapapentin and took out a tablet, when I noticed that it is absolutely identical to the clopidogrel tablet which is the tablet that helps his blood clot. Same shape, size, colour and letters printed on it.
So I didn't give him the "gapapentin" as if it is a blood clotting tablet I would have been giving him a double dose and then another one this morning, so 3 tablets when he only takes one a day. I don't know what that would do.
I know mistakes can happen but am I being unreasonable to be really angry about this. He's only a small dog and is already very very sick
