The heart failure medication they were given was meant for another dog. The couple only discovered the mix up a day after their dog was euthanised.

Singapore – Following a botched eye surgery and wrong prescription for their pet dog, a couple is appealing to authorities to review Singapore’s pet healthcare system.

Ah Bee was previously treated for poor vision, undergoing elective cataract surgery at Mount Pleasant in May 2021.However, the couple underestimated that animal medicine is far less advanced, with a lower success rate than cataract surgery for humans. Following the failed surgery, Ah Bee experienced eye infections and developed glaucoma in his right eye. The infection then required antibiotics and more intensive treatments.

When Dr Chow visited Ah Bee at Mount Pleasant in December last year, she was surprised that his ears were discharging pus, among other conditions.
