They killed my baby

I recently took my baby Major to Becker animal hospital 6515 ih10 on Thursday 10/5/17. He was a 6 month old Boston full of energy, happy and extremely healthy. Up to date on all his shots with his last set due on 10/16/17. We took him in for a rabies vaccine and to get him microchipped. They insisted on a heart worm test and said if he was negative they could give him a proheart 6 shot preventive shot so we agreed. Thinking we had done the right thing we sent him to the back. Two days later he was vomiting and had diarrhea, he was drooling, lethargic, no more energy. He was a completely different Major. So we took him back to Becker's and asked them what they did to him, went over the symptoms with them and they swore up and down that he had parvo. We knew for a fact he did NOT have parvo. He was up to date on all his shots. Adenovirus, parvovirus, distemper etc. Absolutely NO way he had it. Plus we have two other fur babies and they are not sick like him, not sick at all. He has regular play dates and we baby sat his mom and dad for a week and NONE of them are sick, so we explained that to them and still they swore he had parvo. So we ran a parvo test which came back 100% negative, then Jennifer McBaine comes back in and says well it has to be parasites, again I disagreed and brought up the fact that they were not supposed to give the proheart 6 medicine concurrently with the rabies vaccine and to cut out all these other test and let's figure out why this combination of medicine got my baby sick. She again insisted it was parasites, so another test was done and again 100% negative, at this point they decided to run another test and I was beyond livid and again asked them to stop running test and figure out why the proheart 6 and rabies vaccine got him sick. They left the room came back 30mins later and stated and I quote "we are baffled" "we have not seen this before" he has an infection but it's not parvo, parasites or anything we've seen. I then told them the side effects and symptoms of parvo are exactly like the symptoms show when proheart 6 and the rabies vaccine are given concurrently and they said your probably 100% right so let me give you some antibiotics to help with the infection however he has a 50/50 chance of pulling through or dieing. Needless to say we lost out baby Major last night. We had to put him to sleep. He laid his head on my husbands neck as if to say goodbye and then curled up with me and gave up. He soiled himself and urine came out. We rushed him back to Becker's and the first thing they offered was euthanasia, which we agreed to because he was hardly breathing. We lost our baby due to their negligence and stubbornness. We are not vets or practice medicine, however it was clear as day what happened. They are MURDERERS and should be shut down. Almost $500 later and we dont have our baby to show for it. He never got better. He didn't even get to live a year. He could have lived 15/20 years with us, but his life was cut short by Becker's. Come to find out they were to supposed to give me a consent form to sign before administering the proheart 6 preventive and I signed nothing, there were supposed to give me a fact sheet on any and all possible side effects and complications and they did not. My husband went to get copies of all the records from 10/5/17 til 10/12/17 and they wanted him to wait in front lobby, he said NO and walked right into the back and watched them print them out. He also got Libby Quionez on recording stating again and I quote "they have not been giving out consent forms"!!! I am beyond livid and extremely heart broken. He was family, NOT a pet. He was our baby. Nothing can bring him back, no amount of money. He was everything to us. They need to be shut down. I've contacted Texas state board, k sat 12 defenders, FDA, bar association and more. We are not giving up. We will fight til we can't fight no more. Something needs to be done. Rest in Paradise Major Lee Hernandez-Lopez. We will never forget you and always love you lil daddy. Thank you for all the kisses and love you gave us. Until we meet again. Love daddies.
