the BEST little doggie there ever was!
Stempy - March 2005 - 7 years old
It is our firm belief that Stempy is a victim of  VETERINARY NEGLIGENCE & SUBSTANDARD CARE   that resulted in his preventable death at the hands of

This is the investigator who lied about interviewing Cindy.





See our reply to this letter on The Appeal page of the website.






See our reply to this letter on the "Dismissal Letter" page of the website.









after reading this letter, a friend emailed us with these comments:


"I don't understand.  He's saying when their are allegations of improprieties conducted by regulatory agencies, there are established investigative and oversight authorities who can look into them.  Your allegations are against the veterinary board.  Yet he is referrng your allegations of impropriety back to the veterinary board itself -- the very entity accused of impropriety -- rather than telling you who the "established investigative and oversight authorities" are and referring you to them. 
 
In other words, he is refusing to take any action to refer you to state authorities with oversight of the board, and refusing to take action himself, and contacting the very offending organization to warn them that you are trying to get them investigated (which they already know).
 
. . .  ????
 
Did I misread something or is that pretty much the gist of it? "

Yes, we agree. That's pretty much the gist of it. And, Ron Allen? He retired October 13th. Guess someone should tell the Governor......




This is the Board's response to the Governor's office. This response was written by Dewey Helmcamp - the new executive director - on his VERY FIRST day on the job. We are supposed to believe that Mr. Helmcamp had several hours to thoroughly review Stempy's complaint on his first day? Come on, we are not stupid. This is ridiculous. Mr. Helmcamp states, "...the available evidence does not support allegations of substandard care." Well, he  must not have been looking at Stempy's case. The evidence of substandard care is overwhelming and it's right here for everyone to see.  Looks like the new executive director won't bring about any changes at the "Protect the Vet" Board.


Mr. Helmcamp refuses to answer our most basic of questions. Why is that? He does not know how we will respond to his answers. Not one to take "no" for an answer, we responded to this letter by asking, again, for the Board to cooperate and answer our remaining questions. Below is their response.




Why is it so hard to answer our remaining questions? We do not understand the Board's refusal to answer.....unless there is something to hide. We will continue to seek the answers to our questions. This Board needs to quit protecting guilty veterinarians! We will not go away. We will not give up. Stempy deserves justice and we fully intend to find it, no matter how long it takes.

Tears in Heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Stempy was an AKC champion-sired male Shih Tzu. He was only 8 years old. He was truly a once in a lifetime dog. In our opinion, he had about half of his life taken away from him due to the negligent and substandard care he received at the hands of his vet. Unfortunately, Stempy's veterinarian was:

ANN K. THOMAS, DVM
Rodeo Dr. Veterinary Hospital
Rodeo Dr. Veterinary Hospital
Mesquite, Texas

In our opinion,
we think the DVM means:


(D)oesn't know
(V)eterinary
(M)edicine

Be sure to click the page links at the top of the page to learn all about the alleged substandard & negligent care that Stempy endured for 2 years because we were all-trusting of this vet. If only we had researched two years prior.....

You MUST do your research NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

No matter how great you "think" your vet may be, do not leave it to chance!

There is no 2nd chance for Stempy!

We miss you, little boy!
We will NOT let you die in vain!

NEVER BLINDLY
TRUST YOUR VET!


Let us repeat that....


NEVER BLINDLY
TRUST YOUR VET!

In our opinion, ANN K. THOMAS, DVM is an incompetent vet based on our experience with her and we would NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, recommend her to anybody with a pet!
In our opinion, Stempy is also a victim of the TEXAS STATE BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EXAMINERS' complaint system that is supposed to PROTECT OUR PETS, but, instead,
may very well be protecting GUILTY VETS!  Approximately 85% to 90% of ALL consumer complaints filed in Texas against veterinarians are DISMISSED as no violation found!
