Just to give you a ratio Dove - It is 3-8ml/kg of air to be fatal - so it is a huge amount but none is better. And obviously all animals are different.

Ach, you poor lovey. Not your fault in the circumstances described but the vet's bad. You alerted them to a problem and they made the decision (irrespective of their mood) to go ahead.

However, I'd be concentrating on being pro active to this incident and asking the team how it could be avoided in future rather than dwelling on a blame game.

And as for air in veins, I seem to remember it's a vast quantity (no reference to hand at the moment but will check my files). So hopefully puss cat will be fine. Xx

I always remember a vet telling me it takes 9 ml of air to kill. I can't remember if he was talking about a cat or dog, or if there is a ml/kg ratio.

Oooooh Claire Mariner

Maybe a bit of a strong reaction?

I get you entirely but if this was a one off incident where the vet made an extremely poor judgement (and I bet they are paying the price for it) then what about communication and making team improvements before an upping and leaving reaction? If it is a trend.and not isolated then absolutely agree.with you!

Peace.

LEAVE THIS PRACTICE IMMEDIATELY. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL AND I CAN IMAGINE THIS HAS RUINED YOUR ENTIRE TRUST IN THE PRACTICE. LEAVE

NOT YOUR FAULT. That's critical to understand. I expect the cat will be fine, horses can be very sensitive to air.
