Beware bogus vets

WENDY Leow and her family were overjoyed when they were given a Shih Tzu puppy in February. They were advised to take Precious for his primary vaccination when he turned three months old. The friend who gave them the pup mentioned that Precious had a skin problem and that it could be a food-related allergy.

In early March, Precious was taken to a veterinary clinic in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, where he was diagnosed with scabies.
