‘ In my expert viewpoint, the client was subjected needlessly to a treatment, that no matter the treatment supplied, constantly linked pain and possible discomfort throughout and after the treatment,’ the veterinarian stated.
‘ The degree of discomfort will have been depending upon the degree and depth of the anaesthesia and analgesia that was supplied when the treatment occurred.’
