My wife found an abandoned cat about 3 years ago and her mom took em to the vet to see if they had a chip and to find out the sex and age etc. Well the vet told us he was a female cat and we just went with it and honestly had no reason to believe otherwise. Fast forward 3 years, we thought he was having signs of being in-heat so we decided to take him to the vet to get him "spayed" Well the surgeon cuts him open and digs around and couldn't find the uterus and discovered it was a male cat, they even had to audacity to charge us for the surgery too. He seemed to be doing fine after the surgery, a little lethargic but nothing out of the ordinary, he didn't poop for the first 4 days but finally had a bm after that. But now the last 2 days my wife calls me (I work out of town) and tells me he hasn't been peeing. So she takes him to the vet today and finds out he has a blockage in his urethra and when they went to put in the catheter the shock of it kills him. Honestly just don't know what to do. Does this happen often? Should we try to take the vet office to court for malpractice? I do believe the actions of the surgery is what caused the blockage and killed him. Any advice is appreciated.
