Suing a vet clinic for a mistake resulted in losing the eyesight of a dog
Hello Sir/Madam,
I did a wart removal surgery for my dog in a vet clinic in Sharjah for her eyelid but due to the negligence of the surgeon but the vet did not remove the sutures so it rubs on her eye causing an ulcer.
When I took the dog to the clinic, they put cortisone drops in her eye resulting in a melting ulcer and the dog lost her eyesight. Later, I found from another vet that the surgery was done wrongly so her eyelashes rub on her eyeball causing pain and damage. But putting cortisone drops made it worst.
My dog underwent another surgery to save her eye which costed me to fix her and as per the second vet, the eye damage is permanent with a scar but her eyeball was saved from bursting due to pressure.
Now every month, I need to take her for treatment and her eyelashes are growing inwards causing pain and the damage is lifelong. As an owner, I'm sad for my dog who lost her vision due to the vet mistake.
Therefore, I want to know can I sue the clinic for negligence and medical error.

Regarding this, will you get a written report from the other doctor stating the negligence done?
If yes, kindly come along with the report/bills/expenses incurred for the entire process with the trade license copy if you have from the clinic that caused the trouble to our office to discuss further from there.
