Moderators - Pet Care Pet Moderator Posted April 9, 2018 Moderators - Pet Care Share Posted April 9, 2018 Pretty impressive organization. I wonder how many Chiriqui Vets are members? http://www.apmvpanama.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottie Atwater Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Interesting, and a good question, Two4Paws. There's a "vet" in Volcan whose nickname is "Dr. Death" and for good reason. I've asked Patricia Chan (Spay Panama) if there is a veterinary organization in which people can lodge complaints. The only information she gave me was that the "organization" circles the wagons to protect their own and that (1) social media was the best way. However, I don't know how many Panamanians (who would lodge complaints) belong to social media (I don't); and 2nd, with the stupid libel laws in Panama, who would dare name her in a complaint? Any suggestions, folks? This woman needs to be stopped from maiming and killing animals! Unfortunately, she apparently has a thriving business because too many local people don't know about her incompetence. (She also charges exorbitant high prices!)

Dottie Atwater Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Keith, do you imply that I am stupid? Of course I know "this" is social media. You will note that I did not name the "veterinarian." I was asking for any helpful suggestions, not a useless reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Nope, just don't understand what you were trying to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottie Atwater Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Geeze--you got me. Of course "this" is social media. I meant Facebook, etc. I'll really, really try to be exactly precise in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators - Pet Care Pet Moderator Posted April 10, 2018 Author Moderators - Pet Care Share Posted April 10, 2018 A few weeks ago a vet came to our house to treat one of our dogs. First time using this vet. We inquired about the vets' certification. The vet replied with a very vague answer and never said where they were certified to be a Vet. The "Vet" misdiagnosed our dog completely. Luckily we figured it out pretty quickly and brought her to another vet. We would suggest anyone using a Vet here inquire about the vets schooling and certification. You have a right to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 You need to do more than inquire. There were some posts in the past about a vet who, when questioned by a client, claimed to be a graduate of a very prestigious U.S. vet school. It sounded suspicious to me that a graduate of that school would be practicing in Chiriqu when there clearly would be better opportunities elsewhere. I contacted the records department of the vet school in question and was told they had no record of him. Trust but verify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
