So you took your dog to the vet, tried to tell the vet what to do, then when the vet said the charge for what YOU wanted to do the charge was $1,400.00 and that you refused to pay? Not sure what you are expecting here, if the proper procedure WAS to adminster Lasix, and you refused to authorize and pay for it, and your dog passes, how is that the vets fault or subject them to being sued?
