Last July 2024 my 3 year old Siamese Orla was receiving a health check and vaccinations. She was pronounced fit and healthy with the exception of juvenile gingivitis for which the vet recommended dental extraction of two or three teeth on the right side or her mouth. A week later a different vet at the practice carried out the dental extraction. Early the following morning she was totally blind. I took her straight down to the surgery and the operating vet said I've carried out hundreds of these procedures and nothing like this has happened. I was told to leave her there whilst he consulted a colleague. I went back with a friend and was told to take her to Optivet in Havant which specialises in eye problems .Over a period of the next two months my beloved Orla was put through various treatments including her right eye being extracted due to infection which came from the dental procedure.Unfortunately despite the best efforts of Optivet, the infection had continued into her body causing peritonitis and sepsis and subsequent death. Downland paid all Optivet's substantial fees as a gesture of "goodwill" but refused to accept liability and refund me the cost of the operation which caused the problems at the outset. I received no apology just aggression from their insurersI changed vets following this nightmare for my other cat
