Colleen Conlon of Gardner is grieving the loss of 8-year-old Lady, which she attributes to negligence by the vet, Muhammad Malik. Malik's lawyer says people should wait until all the facts come out before passing judgment.

Handed the wrong forms. Uh huh. Better watch what you sign at the Obamacare clinic for people.

OOPs.

Next time try taking your cat to someone named John Smith or Tim Jones.

I wuld avoid Muhammeds in the future.

The vet did his job. The cat no longer has fleas.

Her son didn't leave the other cat at the vet's office, saying

"This is the cat we wanted to euthanize, but we're afraid you'll give it a flea bath instead"

Well, there goes that veterinary practice. I wouldn’t take my dog to a place that makes such deadly mistakes. Very few others will either, I suspect.

Mohammed’s new business is making string for tennis raquets.

The vet’s office was negligent, but the son is partially responsible here for not reading what he was given to sign.

That is damned sad... very sorry to hear this.

Probably Mohammed Malik’s response was, “I am soddy. Veddy, veddy soddy. But it is God’s will.”

yikes

I try to make damm sure no Moslem is involved in anything I do, of course sometimes you can never tell, one must do their homework to get as much intel ahead of time, because I see a future of nearly all Moslems in America doing anything possible to harass, intimidate, control or to regulate non Islams in America.

I don’t care how long they have lived here, if they believe in Islam they must be on a watch list.

[Slings and Arrows]

A true shame. Hopefully the owners can find justice.

Maybe the son didn’t like the cat?

I didn’t realize Obamacare included veterinarians...............
