The Department of Public Health

I received a letter from Gary Griffin (12,30,20110) who is an Investigations Supervisor/Office of the Practitioner Licensing and Certification Department of the Connecticut Department of Health stating "that the department found no probable cause" and for that reason Dr Melvin Pond DVM goes free. In spite of the fact that our documentation was sent to the DPH legal department because 2 consulting vets found that Melvin Pond dropped the ball and a cascading set of events occurred which cost my dogs leg, much pain and suffering and my entire savings. Doctor Melvin Pond was also brought to court by another vet in Connecticut's. I will never let this go. He hurt my dog and threw us under the bus. I will post the You tube video's of Mr Beebs trying to stand after his back leg was amputated. It should have never happened to that wonderful therapy dog and member of my family. When I paid for veterinary services I never expected it to turn into a nightmare of tears and grief. As an animal lover who paid over $3,000 for Dr Pond to help my dog and ironnically I ended up with a man who cut and ran and blustered his way out of our uncomfortable situation. I was left holding the bag and my photo's and blog journal show the pain we endured because he dropped the ball. Shame on the CT department of Health and a heads up...we won't be silent any longer...these animals are part of of our families.
