I in no way am defending this vet, but what owner leaves their dog at a vet for 5 months for anal gland problems??? Ummm???

Anyway, blood products are not usually stocked bc they expire and are very $$$. The dog was probably this vet's cash cow.

He will be punished, but animal cruelty charges are rarely harsh. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he serves more than 90 days (and he isn't really a threat to people, so betting he is released until trial with restriction not to practice). Just guessing though.
