QUESTION
What can be done for my 11yo dog who went in for a tooth biopsy and they made an incision thinking she was to be spayed.

More details to this question:
I took my elderly dog in for a scheduled tooth/gum biopsy- they thought she was to be spayed and made the incision before realizing she had already been spayed. The surgeon never told us if her belly incision- was telephoned by the dental tech saying the dental mass was gone but they had made a "boo boo" and had made a little incision before realizing this. She was sent home without antibiotics and no pain meds. She hasn't fully recover yet and we are going on day 11. I'm not sure what my next step should be. I'm looking for advice?

Unless the belly incision was subtantial, and some significant damages caused, there is no viable civil case here. Not sure what the recvoery issue is related to otherwise, but your first step is to contact the vet ASAP if there any issues of concern, not lawyers.
