Thanks for the concern, y’all! I’ve been wanting to post an update, but the superstitious side of me wanted to make sure he really was fine 
And so far so good. Six days later and no signs of infection so small sigh of relief. I’ll feel even better once he’s completed his antibiotics.
Just so you know, I am angry that this happened. Human error aside, it was an easily preventable mistake. However, I do have a very long history with this clinic. The vet who made the error is new, but I have been with the practice for 12 years. Originally it was a father/son operation. Father retired 6-7 years ago. Son now runs the practice. They have always been wonderful. I think it is safe to say that the father mentored his son into the caring, knowledgeable, and compassionate man he is now, and it stands to reason that the son will be able to do the same for the next generation. New young vet has landed herself a great position where she can continue to grow and learn.
I have been in almost daily contact with both of the vets throughout this event. Head vet (son) had a very frank discussion with me regarding their vaccination procedures and policies. From what he told me, there was a procedure in place that should have prevented this from happening. But because it did, he has not only implemented some new “check points” but also held a mandatory re-training session for the vet and all techs. This was held first thing Monday morning.
So in the end this was very unfortunate, but I agree with Blume Farm that the way it was owned and handled shows a lot of character. I will stand by my wonderful vets!
Thanks again for checking in on us!
