The appointment for Remy was already incredibly painful.
Cody was bringing in his beloved 16-year-old dog for cremation following his passing.
A routine visit turns into a nightmare
Cody had also brought Lilly along to the clinic for a routine check-up. She was there to receive an injection to treat her allergies. Lilly's appointment and the reason for her visit had been fully confirmed at reception. Sadly, a catastrophic mistake was made.
The vet administered an injection and Lilly began to lose consciousness. When a worried Cody asked what was happening, he was horrified to discover she had been given a lethal injection instead.
A tragic mix-up
According to the family, the clinic mistook Lilly for another animal scheduled to be put down. The veterinary practice admitted that a "major mistake" had occurred and offered their apologies.
The clinic claimed they were told a euthanasia was scheduled and asked Cody if he was ready to proceed. Cody said he believed they were referring to Lilly's scheduled allergy treatment.
Our hearts go out to Lilly's family during this incredibly difficult time, and we send them our deepest condolences.
