Hi,

Just read your post and firstly wanted to say im so sorry for your loss.

I work in a vets and there is no way that we would send an animal off for cremation without checking with the owner first! Did you sign anything when you dropped him off in the morning??

Doesnt seem to add up, if he died under the anaesthetic why did they say all was ok and he was sleeping?? Sorry if i have missed something there?

Sounds like something isnt right and i would be back on the phone asking questions. What type of anaesthetic did they use? who was monitoring it? what time they anaesthatised him? When he died, before or after they performed the operation. there should be full notes that you should be able to request to see, ask to see them!

Also, find out the local pet crematoriums or ask which one they use and see if he has already been cremated, if not ask for the body back!

We have 1 collection a week and we are a fairly busy practice.

again im really sorry for your loss
