Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

In my opinion there is very little chance that you would recover any damages in a suit against the veterinarian (and it may border on frivolous). First, you are not out any money or property. Your rabbit is happy and alive (and hopefully healthy). Secondly, the vet may have a duty to report certain situations to animal control. This may be to protect an animal, the public or himself. Third, there is no claim for someone disrespecting someone else. If there were our court system would come to a screeching halt with the number of cases. I pretty sure that almost anyone can say they felt disrespected by someone on any given day.
