EDLORDER

Yes, in most cases I believe so. However, they can deliver naturally which she did in her last litter and was checked over by the mobile vet. My cousin followed the recommendation given but the issue doesn't lie with them, it is Vets Now. Thanks for your response 🙂

Hello, I wanted to get some advice, input and opinions regarding the subsequent death of my cousin's healthy 3 year old French Bulldog who was giving birth at the time. I'll try be as clear and concise as possible. Bella the Frenchie had an ultrasound a week before by a mobile vets not the emergency vets which was used for the c-section. He deemed her fit and healthy, advised to allow her to have her pups at home (scan could show around 5/6 pups) and if anything happens, to take her into vets. My cousin followed this advice and had bought everything she could buy to safely help deliver these puppies. Having 4 adult dogs she wasn't new to owning a dog, oldest being 16 yo this year just new to a pregnant one. The first pup arrived naturally, it would be the runt of the litter and we were aware it might not survive. The following dog was stuck in the birth canal and needed help to come out which we read about. But it was the 3rd which prompted my cousin to call an emergency vets. They are called Vets Now, Manchester branch and are part of a massive chain. My cousin noticed the popped sack on the bed with no pup and had felt with her fingers and could feel the legs of a pup obviously stuck in the canal. She immediately called the vets and explained, to which they asked her to bring her in along with the runt. The vet after quick examination agreed that there was a pup indeed stuck in the canal and to my cousins surprise she was advised to take her dog home and told if the dog didn't pass this pup in 30 minutes to come back especially as Frenchie's have difficulty breathing and birthing. My cousin was expecting an emergency c-section - the practice also were aware of the distance to and from their practice, which totalled up to the 30 minutes, surely it was better for Bella to wait at the vets instead of going home? There ended up being multiple to and from the practice following their medical advice, charging per consultation which was £200+, my cousin expected the c-section to be around £3k plus and was intended to pay and she did pay. Bella went in for the c-section at around 2pm afternoon and wasn't taken into surgery until quarter to 7, even though when my cousin asked they said she would be the first in as there are no other emergencies, she was conscious of how much strain and pain she was in. Afterwards, they said that Bella was a little too cold but eventually woke up from the surgery and she was able to bring her and the remaining pups. They failed to get consent off my cousin when they took a needle to one of the c-section pups claiming they weren't thriving, this was a shock to my cousin when she arrived to pick up Bella and her babies. They were bombarding my cousin with information over the phone, she had been crying over the loss of the puppy in the canal and the amount of pain Bella was in, responding "ok" to everything she was saying, this is not an explicit consent response, usually they ask you to say 'yes or no', "ok" has never been used as someone giving consent, not to me at least. She was only home for a few hours and able to nurse her remaining puppies for the last time before having what appeared to my cousin as a seizure. She had calmed down by the time my cousin got through to the vets and was told to take her back to her registered Vets. However, when she called her registered vets, they said no - Vets Now Manchester did the c-section they have all the records of what they've given her you need to go back there. Only when this was relayed to Vets Now, did they said aright bring her back in. This was following the second and final seizure - my cousin quickly acted and performed CPR - her friend was with her at the time as it had been an overwhelming 12 hours. They quickly drove to vets now after that back and forth phone call between her registered vets and Vets Now giving CPR in the back of the car. My cousin had noted that she could hear squelching, the sound of water as she was giving the CPR. She told the vets upon arrival and in report from them had said she wasn't taking in oxygen but this would make sense because there was clearly fluid in her lungs, so did they not act on that and clear her lungs first before trying to give her oxygen. Bella inevitably died, she clearly was already dead on the way to the vets but was still charged for resuscitation of £500 approx. They had said in their report that she died of a cardiac arrest but unbeknownst to them, my cousin had called the mobile vets who performed the ultrasound and he was shocked at the news. He took it upon himself to refer Bella to the University of Liverpool for Veterinary Science for an autopsy. By that time my cousin had arranged for a local crem that was recommended by her neighbours so Bella and the pups were taken there. It wasn't too long that the University responded and said that they were going to collect her the same day, after hearing the details from the mortician noting that the incision mark of the c-section looked strange the rest of crem were curious about this little frenchie causing so much commotion. Shortly after them taking Bella, they had phoned up and said they were going back to collect the pups and that they did not need the report from the vets and they would come to their own conclusion using science. It takes about 6 weeks for the autopsy to be done and we've since got the preliminary report stating that she had sepsis and pneumonia but she was clearly healthy prior to the c section as they have to take bloods before the surgery and she had a check-up. My cousin wasn't told but it was when the neighbour that received the report from the vets (cousin gave consent) that the report said she died of a cardiac arrest. However, in the preliminary report it said her heart and the tubes surrounding was all normal. It's my understanding that when us humans have cardiac arrest it shows in the aftermath, would it be silly to think the same of dogs? We're now waiting for the final report from them as they had more tests to run. We have made a formal complaint to them to cover our backs as advised by citizens advice, requesting all data including CCTV and recorded phones calls which corroborates the amounts of times my cousin had to readmit into the practice. We've also reported the veterinary surgeon who was the one giving the professional advice to the RCVS for medical negligence due to failure to treat and made a complaint to the ICO as they are withholding data, an area which I have knowledge on. Wondering if anyone has been through anything similar or has good knowledge around this area and could advise. I feel like I've covered all my basis so far but in case there is anything I've missed? Thank you for all your advice in advance! I understand it's a lot to take in and I didn't even share all the details.

Happened recently to my cousin's 3 year old Frenchie who became pregnant. Made her go back and forth, charging each admission and consultation on top of all the medication, she passed away within a few hours after waking up from her c-section and we are now in a medical negligence dispute with them. They had even prescribed the dog paracetamol, then looking at the bill afterwards it said Calpol 5ml per dosage, exactly as you would have for a 2 year old, same bottle and charged her £25. The vets is called VETS NOW and is a chain, please avoid at all costs. We had no idea that we could take the prescription and go get the medication ourselves, especially for something like Calpol.

Hello, I will be moving from my property and had renewed my contract before knowing this would be the case. And reading the terms of the contract I have the right of 14 days, these are the terms as written by BT: The legal stuff Your right to cancel You've got 14 days from the day your service starts or kit arrives, whichever is latest, to cancel. So I spoke to them today but could not get through to the legal team at all since they only work mon-fri (which is fine) and the customer service advisor said "oh that's just wording" to which my response was, wording is important in a contract, it doesn't specify if kit needs to be new or old but it says "whatever is latest", which is important and from my old knowledge of contracts I'm aware of how vague this is but it could also be a loophole. Since I've spoken to someone from the faults/tech team they've said I should have been sent out the new box which is for the fibre 2 service but he's the only one that mentioned it to me. Also, as he checked their system which told them that is what I needed for my broadband to be working as intended. So my question is, to anyone who has a deeper understanding of contract law - do I still have the right to cancel 14 days when I receive this new box, since I have NOT received the kit as advised on the phone? The other option that I have before calling back on Monday to the legal team is that I've got the engineer to come out and if they can't get my speeds up then I can leave cancellation fee free but that is not until end of November. I just want to caveat that I am happy to pay the cancellation fee which is hefty should it come to it, however since I've had many speed issues that I've reported and unresolved; I thought I'd try to find options to get out of this without paying that cancellation fee as I'm sure anyone in my position would. Any help would be appreciated!

N95, KN95 are disposable masks and cannot be rewashed and/or reused. Treat them with the same logic like you would an air purifier, you will eventually have to replace. Most disposable masks are good for 9-10 hour continuous wear, so no removal otherwise put on another fresh mask and always keep a spare sealed in your bag if you're on the go. Your mask should not be sticking to your nose at every inhale, which many of these homemade masks that are made, are guilty of. Most of these masks that are being created off the back of COVID hitting us are pretty much only "fashion masks" (unlike in East and South East Asia where they are very common since SARS so are developed to include the replaceable filter holder within the masks). With that being said, any covering such as cotton is better than nothing if that's all you have. But I agree with the other comments stating that hand washing as super important, masks alone do not prevent you from contracting the virus but it will help shield you more so. Just keep your distance, wash your hands, don't go crazy on the sanitiser if you wash your hands well enough you don't want to kill your good bacteria, wear your mask properly and stay home if you have symptoms. And to those who disagree with mask wearing, fair enough but respect businesses, staff and those in our community that follow it because of the law, because of the vulnerable people they live with and their own health. If you don't want to wear a mask, then don't put others at risk by going into their establishment. Take care!

Hello, Just wanted to share this here as I was informed that an incident of rape occurred a couple weeks ago in the early hours of the morning in the park and was overheard by a friend but they put it down to the foxes(The live across from the park). In the end the Police had knocked on his door later in the morning and had asked if he heard anything, as a female had been raped in the park and that's when he reported that he did but thought it was the foxes. Just wanted to let people know as I'm not sure if this info has been disclosed to the public and if the rapist has been found since it's now been a couple of weeks. Be careful everyone.
