Verbatim statements made by Dr. Bass regarding the decision to use certain antibiotics regardless of Champ’s history of resistance to the chosen drugs.
“That was a decision that was carefully considered by Dr. Nanfelt. It’s in her records that she consulted with other veterinarians, and so it wasn’t that they didn’t think about it. They did think about it, and they have a rational decision making process for why they did what they did, in their best medical judgment at that time.”
“He [Champ] was on appropriate antibiotics, based on the decision of several specialists.”
“All of that was actually carefully considered and discussed among multiple board-certified specialists when they chose his medication. They knew his history, they discussed it.”
Dr. Shannon Bass, Medical Director, Carolina Veterinary Specialists, Huntersville
