Wait, I know the whole story isn't here, but you sued your vet for an autoimmune reaction to a vaccine in a breed that is pre-disposed to said autoimmune reaction? Hopefully your litigation was due to lack of treatment and not failed treatment since steroids and transfusions are pretty much the only thing that can be done and are not always successful. (BTW this is Wolfe's wife, who worked as a vet assistant for 5 years.) I am sorry for your loss, though.
