This Is What Happens When Massey Thinks THEY Own Your Dog & Can Do With Him As They Please (You Just Pay the Invoice) At This Appalling, Unaccountable Veterinary House of Horrors (LATEST PROOF OF 'LAB RAT' TREATMENT HERE)

When I left Harry just 15 hours earlier - for a 24-hour rehydration protocol - he looked like a completely normal dog . . . and this Is what Massey's repeated 750% unauthorised, contraindicated, convenience-sedation overdosings did to this poor little dehydrated, renally-impaired baby.
Then this House of Veterinary Horrors and its students poked, prodded and filmed the Impacts for training materials instead of trying to save him.
(HERE'S THE PROOF AND THE IMAGES, IF YOU HAVE THE STOMACH FOR THEM.)
Why? Because he had cried. But I have cried even more than Harry, when I discovered, later, that the supposedly irreversible neurological failure they fabricated to coerce me into allowing them to kill him, hadn't been anything of the sort: it had been a massive, stacked, overdosing of a drug specifically advised against for kidney patients (as they knew he was), and which he was making massive efforts to come out of when he saw me . . . valiant efforts the "vet", "Steffi", wickedly laughed off as "just his last hurrah". (A "vet", it should be noted that - both in my view and in my direct experience - should NEVER be allowed anywhere NEAR anyone's pet.)
Had I known the truth of what had happened to him that night and morning in Massey's "Intensive Care" ward, I would have been gotten him the hell out of there as fast as I could go, to the nearest real vet, who might have still been able to save him. But Massey, and its ICU and teaching staff needed him dead . . . to hide the evidence of their catastrophic, multiple malpractices (and also to hide what you will learn below).
There had been no "neurological event". What there was, was a catastrophic chemical stupor that they had caused, and then used to dupe and pressure me into ending Harry's life.
Do you see the poor little contorted face? His severely distorted left eye indicates acute internal pressure or systemic shock, typical of a biological system being chemically overwhelmed. The facial contortion with the asymmetry of the lip and nose are indicative of severe chemically-induced physiological distress and advanced Central Nervous System shock.
In this photo, he is in near autonomic collapse, with his involuntary (breathing, heart rate, facial tension) systems failing under the weight of Massey's repeated, catastrophic overdosing. The contorted mask, or the physical pulling of the face, is a physical reaction to the massive over-sedation and the body's struggle to survive it . . . his sheer willpower, the willpower that this "Steffi" "vet" (who shouldn't be let anywhere near anyone's pet) somehow succeeded in duping me into believing was "his last hurrah".
Pet parents: You MUST demand your pet's clinical notes and learn to read them. If you don't, you are failing your pets, most especially if they are ever referred to Massey University's Companion Animal "Hospital" or any other veterinary teaching facility. I found - hidden on Page 15 of Massey's own notes - the evidence that a decision had been made at 8.38am (the morning after his admission for a simple rehydration procedure) that Harry's status in this "Hospital" was to be converted from "patient" to "student test subject": "IV Fluids - 15ml/hr, Started at 12:00am 01/12/2025 . . . keeps tangling. Stopped at 8:38am 01/12/2025."
They disconnected Harry just one-third of the way in to a prescribed 24-hour protocol (that was already insufficient to rehydrate him even without the Gabapentin overdosing) after he had additionally been administered two 750% overdoses of a drug that requires fully healthy and HYDRATED kidneys to exit his system.
Incomprehensible? Actually, no. Disconnecting Harry from what by then were actual life-essential fluids achieved two objectives for the Massey staff:
(1) They no longer had to concern themselves with a "tangling" line (although the $198 Dura Flow Coil Mila line item on the invoice is designed specifically to prevent this situation) . . . leading to one remaining and sinister conclusion . . .
(2) That Harry was disconnected from (and never returned to) his life-saving IV fluids so that he could be extracted from his cage to facilitate the numerous below-mentioned tests (and likely, many others) performed on him for the benefit of Massey's veterinary students. (I have learned, albeit not because they told me, that eight teaching videos were made of him, six of which they refuse to release, despite their legal obligations to do so. In other words, Harry was "content" for their "productions".)
According to the plan, Harry was to be presented back to me with the narrative that "he has had a neurological event/decline and needs euthanased".
A private, high-needs geriatric patient was downgraded to a "living anatomy lesson" for unauthorised student training: the usage of a tiny, blind, 15-year-old dog in acute distress as a training tool for junior staff or students without the owner’s knowledge or informed consent . . . following incomprehensible acts of malpractice and sheer recklessness, the effects of which still had a chance of being reversed had the ICU and day staff wanted to.
This wasn't just a "failure of care"; it was a patient being actively decommissioned to serve as a training prop.
In legal terms alone, this is a breach of:
(a) the Contract of Bailment (Massey has a legal "obligation to return a pet owner's property (their pet) in the same or better condition as received; by prioritising "institutional utility" (teaching) over a patient's clinical survival, they breached that bailment);
(b) the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (under the CGA, services must be provided with "reasonable care and skill" and be "fit for purpose"; a rehydration protocol that is stopped after 8 hours due to a "tangling" line - despite being charged for an anti-tangling device - is a "total failure of service", and
(c) the Animal Welfare Act 1999 (Section 10), which mandates that the person in charge of an animal must meet its physical and health needs; disconnecting and discontinuing life-essential fluids from an overdosed patient to facilitate "observation" is a direct violation of this statutory duty).
As far as the innumerable breaches of the Code of Professional Conduct for Veterinarians and the provisions of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 governing the communication, and the release, of correct and comprehensive information, let alone any reasonable expectation of the same Health & Disability Act human medicine ethics being applicable also in veterinary care . . . this is a genuine "where do you even start?" situation.
And as concerns Massey University's legal threats to me to "gag" me regarding my continuing discoveries, and their withholding of all other information from me (knowing now that I have learned how to read clinical notations), the actions of the institution's management now sit squarely in the domain of not just malpractice, but malfeasance.
To the Students of Massey University's Companion Animal 'Hospital':
Be Ashamed. Be Very, Very Ashamed . . . . .
. . . . . particularly if you had knowledge of the intention to obtain my duped and coerced agreement to unnecessarily end the life of my precious little Harry, by keeping from me any mention or knowledge of the fact that he had been convenience-sedated with a series of massive overdoses of renally-contraindicated Gabapentin (further potentiated by Maropitant) . . . to produce the guise of some "neurological event".
That is, a "neurological event" created by a drug specifically noted in the international veterinary literature as mimicking a neurological event:
Neurological Impacts of Gabapentin:
From Ataxia through to Coma
"Neurological sequelae following administration of the Gabapentin to patients with renal failure, varying from subtle changes in mental status to drowsiness and coma, have been reported in the literature."
— Journal of Renal Hepatic and Biomedical Sciences
"Ataxia [loss of coordination] is a common adverse effect [of Gabapentin]."
— MSPCA-Angell Clinical Review
You know . . . the same sort of "neurological event" that your "neurologist" conducted a "neurological exam" to prove his "neurological decline" . . . in support of "Steffi's" intended intense push for his execution. (And NO. "Steffi", do NOT expect me to play along with the ruse posthumously by using the term "euthanasia'" . . . the definition of which is "mercy killing"; NOT "convenience killing" or "evidence destruction").
And did you know, Students, of the massive overdosings my precious little boy was being repeatedly slammed with . . . to make him pliable for you to poke, prod and shove your devices into his eyes to "test" for whatever the hell you were all "testing" for . . . that was nothing remotely related to his urgent need for rehydration (the actual reason for his admission) . . . which was even more urgent after he had been given 500% to 750% Gabapentin overdoses . . . a drug, on top of which, is strictly contraindicated for renal patients, which you all knew he was?
AND while he was dehydrated, and given barely a thimble full of hydrating fluids per hour? Did you know, did you care, that with all of the above circumstances converging, his poor little kidneys didn't have a chance of clearing the rapidly accumulating toxicity? Did you spare a thought for the hell you were all putting him through while you filmed him on cell phones in the utter agony you created for him? Did you not see him as anything more than a lab rat? WICKED.
From your OWN NOTES:
“ . . . Marked elevations of urea and creatinine . . . "
Don't you even
know
what that
means, Students?
It means he was
renally impaired. Significantly. The very reason you should
never
administer
exactly
what you administered: 500% to 750% overdoses of the strictly contraindicated GABAPENTIN.

And did you know that Massey's own records show that, a few months prior, he had had an adverse reaction to just one-quarter of the dose your ICU staff loaded him up with this time, and on that prior occasion he hadn't even been dehydrated, as he was now? (And would you have cared?)
"Because Gabapentin is almost exclusively eliminated by the kidneys, it must be used with caution and at reduced dosages in patients with renal impairment."
— Source: Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook (Clinical Pharmacology)
When you, Students, were participating in all the horrendous, invasive, lab animal-type procedures on my precious little Harry, did you ever spare a thought for how YOU would have felt if he was YOUR dog?
DID you? Does your own dog have a name? Perhaps read this article and substitute "Harry" with the name of YOUR pet.
Did you stop for 30 seconds in time, if not to think about the hellscape that my poor little dog's life had been in that veterinary house of horrors, then maybe to ponder the fact that he actually had an owner? An owner who loved him enough (and STILL loves him, even in death) for him to have even been brought there for "care" in the first place?
And did you know that Harry (by then in more desperate need than ever of the simple but life-essential rehydration procedure for which he had been admitted) had been disconnected from his IV fluids line and the prescribed 24-hour protocol discontinued just 8.5 hours in, to enable YOU to spend the next few hours performing YOUR INTENSELY CRUEL LAB RAT PROCEDURES ON HIM?
May you all one day be richly rewarded for your "compassion" and "empathy" - to say nothing of your "ethics" - with a one-way ticket to hell.
The Massey Companion Animal 'Hospital' Lab Rat Facility
Harry was subjected to invasive, ghoulish student observation (and likely also, participation), teaching-value-only tests and experiments (including with devices and equipment) that bore no relationship to the reason for his admission or the reason for being in the "hospital". At all i.e. rehydration i.e. the treatment for dehydration.
These tests and experiments included (but were almost certainly not limited to, and which would likely be the reason for Dean Jon Huxley and the University's Legal and Governance executives refusing to release six of eight teaching videos they admit to having recorded. To be noted, they "overwrote" the ICU and consulting room CCTV footage that I requested under the Act):
(NB: Students: If you have ever had any sneaking doubts about the quality of your veterinary "education" at Massey, you might want to consider whether your "educators" and "specialists" might themselves need support to perform complex tasks like operating a door knob. By way of a glaring example, the "neurologist" who teaches you to assess the neurological capability of a dog in the peak of a 500% to 750% overdose of a drug that creates neurological incapability, and a vision test on a blind dog.)
- The "Menace Response" Test: Repeated testing of the blink reflex of a blind dog. This is the very definition of a clinically nonsensical act . . . testing a blind dog for sight-based responses and then using his "lack of response" as "proof" of "neurological decline".
- Proprioception (Paw Flipping): Repeatedly flipping his paws over to see how long it took him to correct them . . . a test for pure neurological "teaching value", not for treating dehydration.
- Vestibulo-ocular Reflexes: Forcing his head from side-to-side to watch his eye movements,
- The "Sound Reaction" Test: (Intensely frightening for a blind dog in an unfamiliar, clinical environment.) Claiming he had "inconsistent responses" to noise to support the "neurological event" narrative, ignoring the fact that he was heavily sedated. (To be noted, the obviously retrofitted "Clinical Summary" also claimed that Harry was deaf. Harry was not deaf or anything even approaching it - as evidenced by his ready response to my soft verbal command, even breaking through what I later, too late, learned was his heavily sedated state: "Show Mummy your strong leggies.")
- Calvarium Pressure: Applying painful pressure to his skull to elicit a pain response.
- Mentation Labeling: Repeatedly grading him as depressed/dull, which ignored the fact that he was massively over-sedated with three doses of Gabapentin totaling 150mg-200mg (or possibly 300mg; your notes are utterly incompetent and inconsistent) i.e. dispensed for the equivalent of a healthy, robust 15kg dog while he was 3.8kg - and potentiated with Maropitant (Prevomax) while he was severely dehydrated. This was done despite Massey's own records showing his earlier massive overreactions to just 50mg of the same drug.
- Heart Examination: Performing a thoracic auscultation (listening with a stethoscope) to document a "Grade 2/6 left-sided systolic heart murmur."
- Abdominal Palpation: Manual probing of his abdomen to assess his internal organs, documenting that his "kidneys felt small and irregular" on palpation.
- Ophthalmic (Eye) Exam: Beyond the glaucoma, documenting a "Phthisis bulbi" (a shrunken, non-functional eye) in his right eye and attempting a Fundoscopic Exam (looking at the retina), noted as "unsuccessful due to inability to visualise internal structures."
- Orthopedic Assessment: Cataloged "Osteoarthritis", likely through the palpation of his joints during the same window.
- Spinal extension; dorsal extension; flexion of head. Etc. Etc. Etc.
- Spinal reflexes
- Spinal palpation
- "Cranial nerves"
- "Structural" assessments
- Dental Exam: A dental grading is a standard teaching exercise for students. Performing a detailed oral examination and grading periodontal disease on a dog suffering from a supposed "neurological event" but most definitely from severe dehydration and a catastrophic drug adverse reaction is clinically irrelevant to his survival, albeit high in "teaching value" for a student rotation.
And other, non-documented and significantly worse experimentation i.e. with the ghoulish and psychologically tormenting procedures performed on him during the making of the actual training videos (made on cell phones) in which he was utilised.
Those hours of his life were sheer, unadulterated lab rat-style torture - in a massively drugged, deeply dehydrated state, being used as a live teaching aid and filmed from all angles. In one cynical “still” shot sent by Massey in place of the actual videos they are required to release, a male hand holds him up from underneath, suspending him high in the air, while sedated and hanging limply in mid-air from that cruel hand. And that, believe it or not, was just one of six highly sanitised, equipment-blacked out stills i.e. in place of the release of the actual videos themselves.
We have all heard stories of humans who, while undergoing surgery, have actually been fully conscious mentally while their physical body was anaesthetised.
That is the equivalent state my little Harry was in, when you were conducting all your cruel and invasive experiments on him.
And, to "Steffi": You thought I'd never learn that, in fact, that was the EXACT state that Harry was in, when he was giving it his valiant all to respond to my commands to show me his "strong leggies" . . . that you wickedly laughed off as "just his last hurrah".
You KNEW what he was trying so desperately to communicate to me when he suddenly rose up on his back legs and started screaming as you leaned in the van door with your syringes and equipment . . . and made me pull him down onto his tummy so you could get your substance into him before I could realise it, too. You were FULLY aware of what I wasn't, until it was all too late.
Multiple Acts of Aggravated Cruelty on A Blind Dog
Perhaps your "teachers" should also have made you aware that by conducting your experiments and procedures on a blind dog you were performing multiple acts of aggravated cruelty, that represented a total abandonment of veterinary ethics.
In any medical setting, blindness is considered a profound vulnerability.
When you remove a dog's primary sense, they rely entirely on the integrity of their environment and the trust of their handlers for psychological safety. By using a blind dog as a "teaching utility", Massey crossed a line from malpractice into what can only be described as psychological warfare against a helpless patient.
A blind dog exists in a world of sound and touch. When Harry was subjected to your lab-rat-style experimentation, he had no visual way to anticipate your (notably) cruel handling of him or your equipment. Every touch was a jump-scare; every manipulation was an unexpected violation.
And one that he couldn't respond to from within his chemical straitjacket (a term that your Dean Jon Huxley has very specifically threatened to set the University's big-budget law firm, Buddle Findlay, onto me if I should dare to use.)
Blind dogs are naturally more hyper-vigilant. Their adrenaline levels spike faster in response to the unknown. Conducting your invasive experiments on Harry would have added to his already physical pain and psycnological terror, the burden of a continual over-stimulation of his nervous system - a nervous system that was already working overtime to make sense of a terrifying, suddenly very hostile, sightless world - and without his anchor, me.
How you all opportunised his circumstances, in true predatory fashion.
Legally and ethically, a "hospital" has an enhanced duty of care toward vulnerable patients. Just as a human hospital would be more culpable for abusing a patient with a disability, a veterinary hospital is more culpable for abusing an animal with a sensory deficit.
In short, you reprehensibly experimented on a disabled dog . . . a disabled dog you already had in a catastrophic state, and you removed his only biologically supporting framework - his life-essential hydrating IV fluids - to facilitate that abuse . . . and you never reinstated those fluids. In fact, you slammed him with a further 50mg overdose of Gabapentin, even after (9am) you'd taken his fluids from him at 8.38am (by the way you made sure to charge me for the 24 hours you never gave him).
Why? Because he was destined - after you finished with him - to be presented back to me under the guise of some "neurological event" and the plan to pressure me for his urgent "euthanasia". Simple. Easy peasy evidence destruction strategy.
To add intense insult to injury (literally) - and in the manner of true predatory opportunists - you chose the most vulnerable patient in the ward to use as a training prop because he was the easiest target.
And it's also my belief that you chose him specifically because he was MINE.
'Hospital' vs Animal Research Lab
In a Hospital, if a patient is in a life-threatening crisis (catastrophic drug adverse reaction; drug-enhanced kidney failure; purported "neurological event"), you focus first and foremost on the survival of the patient.
You do not divert your priorities to focus on grading their dental tartar or checking for a Grade 2 heart murmur or poking around and into their blind eyes with devices. You don't hold them high in the air with one hand to survey whatever you were surveying. You don't perform any of the other acts indicated by even by the few carefully curated still images you have been forced to release (with half the image covered in solid black blocks to obscure the equipment you were deploying on my little blind and intensely vulnerable dog).
You stabilise the life-threatening condition.
In a Laboratory, you might indeed prioritise the "subject" providing practice opportunities for students to deploy their full range of diagnostic skills - grading teeth, palpating kidneys, listening for murmurs, and testing range of joint mobility. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Along with other, more intentionally pain-provoking, psychologically tormenting "procedures" for filming purposes.
No wonder Huxley and Massey's legal suits don't want me to see the other six videos they admit to having been taken of him.
And no wonder they are refusing to release his full records - despite their full legal obligations under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 to do so.
The last thing he wants the world to see - most especially now he has suddenly been shaken out of his own arrogant stupor and realised who he's dealing with - is the true nature of the show he's presiding over there.
The 'Tangled IV Line' 'Justification' for Conversion from 'Patient' to 'Training Aid'
Yet it was even worse and far more sinister than "just" the above cruelty and abuse.
At 8.38am, someone had taken the decision to actively change Harry's status from a hospital patient to a status of sheer institutional utility.
Buried deep in the bowels and the tiny typeface of Page 15 of the Companion Animal Hospital ICU's "Clinical Summary" was the smoking gun of all smoking guns:
The 8-hour-and-38-minutes-in complete cessation of the prescribed 24-hour rehydration protocol (which in its own right had only "maintenance" value and certainly not the required therapeutic value).
From Page 15 of the "Clinical Summary":
IV Fluids - 15ml/hr, Started at 12:00am 01/12/2025
Stopped to give 15ml bolus over 20min every hour - keeps tangling
Stopped at 8:38am 01/12/2025
Disconnecting Harry's life-essential fluids - most especially while now in the peaks of an already massive overdose of potentiated Gabapentin - just one-third of the way in to a 24-hour protocol (that was already insufficient to rehydrate him even without the Gabapentin overdosing) with the ludicrous excuse of a "tangling" IV line in the face of the $198 Dura Flow Coil Mila line item on the invoice i.e. that is designed specifically to prevent this situation - was a clear and present signal of management and staff's intention for him.
It was an active decision to convert him for "use" as educational value and, by extension, to uncaringly impose a death sentence upon him.


One Device. Two Lies.
The
“tangled IV line” as the reason for discontinuing a 24-hour life-essential protocol 8.5 hours in – while utterly pathetic and unacceptable in its own right for any clinician, let alone an ICU ward – was a fully fabricated “justification”.
The heavy blue cast-like bandage I referred to in my earlier articles, turns out to be a Mila Dura Flow Coil – a high-end specialist device to prevent the exact problem being used as the excuse for cutting off the fluids Harry now needed more desperately than ever,.
Wickedly, the staff making the decision to deprive him of his, by that time,
life-essential fluids, knew full well that his impaired kidneys needed
increased
hydration, to have any chance of flushing through the catastrophic, 500% - 750% accumulating overdose of the renally-contraindicated, convenience sedative they had slammed him multiple times with in the course of nine hours.
The
Mila Dura Flow Coil also serves to highlight a second lie:
“Steffi” (in her well-after-the-fact, posthumous SOAP notes) and “her neurologist” (as she had referred to her when convincing me of this “neurological event” that somehow explained the massive change in Harry overnight) had referred to him as “obtunded”.
But you
don’t put a Mila Dura Flow Coil on an “obtunded” dog. You use it for its designed purpose: to ensure that the IV line into
a very active little dog’s leg is not dislodged by his very UNobtunded activity
and movements.
To be clear: Harry was far
from “obtunded” until Massey ICU staff and “clinicians” chemically “obtunded” him.
But is just keep getting even worse, doesn't it, Students? If that were possible . . . yet it seemed no malfeasance or cruelty was beyond the capabilities of your superiors and teaching staff.
Because after wilfully disconnecting the only hope Harry had of possibly surviving the already something like 500% to 750% overdose he had already been administered and that would have slammed even a robustly healthy dog with non-impaired kidneys, then 22 minutes later you slammed him with yet ANOTHER full-dog full-day dose of 50mg of Gabapentin . . . and now with NO fluids whatsever - not even the thimble-full you'd been allowing him - to flush them through his poor little massively-struggling kidneys. You stacked another substantial overdose on TOP of the already catastrophic overdoses he'd been given in the previous seven hours.
And all of this, by the way, as you'll see from your erstwhile Dean of the Veterinary School, Jon Huxley's emailed legal threat that I've quoted at the bottom of this article, was apparently given to him as "clinically indicated for his condition", and "in full accordance with accepted veterinary standards". This ethically-impaired clown is your "Dean"? Your head teacher? Or does he just think that the average pet owner can't perform a basic internet search of the international veterinary literature?
The 'Neurological Event' Ruse vs the
Catastrophic Overdose Reality
And. Students, who among you had knowledge that this "Steffi'" (a "vet", so-called) planned to extract my consent for Harry to be put to death without ever imparting to me the nature or true state and cause (i.e. massive sedation overdoses) of his presentation that day? Wickedly presenting him back to me with the bullshit story that he'd had some vague "neurological event" (as "confirmed" by "her neurologist", when testing the neurological capability of a dog given THREE 500% - 750% overdoses of a drug that creates symptoms of neurological incapability) so that the evidence (Harry himself) of your massive and multiple, conscienceless malpractices could be conveniently disposed of?
Such that I would have no other possibility put before me than to somehow accept that Harry had suddenly had some inexplicable overnight "neurological decline"? To neatly secure my therefore grossly UNinformed "consent" with a variety of heinous but seemingly previously well-practiced emotional and psychological pressure tactics? Despicable, the LOT of you.
And THIS is who you are being "educated" by? How much do you PAY for this "education"?
And regarding the physical, emotional and psychological abuse of my precious and sweet little dog who represented nothing more than lab rat value to your fine "educational" facility . . .
Did you know that the "Dean" of those hallowed halls you inhabit has threatened me with legal action for speaking out, if I should refuse to either stay silent or to participate in my own gaslighting by acquiescing to his official narrative? (You may pass on to him my sincerest regards and tell him he may take a flying leap at himself, BTW.)
Is this the type of "veterinary care" you want to practice out in the real world?
If any of you think ANY of this was and/or is, perfectly fine, dandy, and "just the way it is" in the vet game, then your careers have already been corrupted before you even set foot out there in a "normal" veterinary clinic.
God help the pets and the pets' owners who will be subjected to your ethics.
Moral Injury:
For anyone who can handle it, here are nine raw, unedited audio minutes that provide a direct window into the trail of emotional destruction left in the wake of the unconscionable decisions and actions of the subhumans involved in Harry’s overdose; in his emotional, psychological and physical torture, and in the heinous false pretences that had me consent to his execution . . .
. . . the cold, clinical killing that might actually, even then, have been unnecessary, had you disclosed the true nature of his presentation to me, such that I could have gotten him the hell out of there to safety and true emergency care.
In a not-insignificant aside, I have already -in this previous article - expressed a strong suspicion that Harry may well have been targeted for this sort of abuse because his owner (me) has been a fearless critic, for at least the past two years, of the concerning standards of the Companion Animal Hospital, . . . having numerous times either voiced or put in writing, those concerns to the Practice Manager, Pauline Nijman.
If any Student or staff member has the required backbone and conscience to provide any insights into whether or not this played a role in what was done to Harry, I urge you to contact me on this direct line: 06 657 0161, or to email me to contact you, at editor@consumeraffairswriter.com. I would also like to know the names of the staff and management who participated in these criminal acts against my beloved pet, since every single one of them has been replaced - in the "Clinical Summary" - with a solid black box. And, or course, I am having to submit the matter as a formal complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner to obtain the majority of Harry's records from Massey's Legal and Governance department who continues to withhold them, illegally.
Personal & Professional Liability of Staff and Students
To the staff and students who participated in the wilful cessation of Harry's life-essential fluid delivery protocol in favour of his conversion to "lab rat" status, and then further participated in the ghoulish use of him as a live training aid, you might wish to acquaint yourselves with your own legal liabilities.
To this end, you will find the following insights of value:
While the institution (Massey) bears the primary legal liability as the "entity," the individuals - both staff and students - who participated in or facilitated this utter atrocity face significant professional and ethical exposure.
In the eyes both of the law and of professional regulatory bodies (yes, even the ones your superiors believe they can count on to "disappear" or deny-on-their-behalf any formal complaints), "I was just following orders" or "I was just a student observing" is not a valid defence when a statutory breach or animal welfare violation is occurring.
The ramifications are governed by more than one set of legislation, but let us start with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand (VCNZ) Code of Professional Conduct.
- Professional Misconduct: If a vet knows a patient has been overdosed (let alone in the order of 500% -750%) and then participates in a "narrative shift" (such as the "neurological event/decline" fabrication), they are committing Professional Misconduct.
- The "Duty to Disclose": Vets have a mandatory ethical duty to be honest with clients. Participating in the "conversion" of a patient to a "test subject" without the owner's consent is a direct violation of their licence.
- The Paper Trail: Every person who signed off on the 8.38am disconnection of what by then equated directly to Harry's life support without intervening is professionally tethered to this malfeasance. You aren't just "witnesses"; you are participants in a clinical sabotage.
Student Exposure: "Accessory" or "Witness"?
If students were used to perform tests on a dog that was pharmacologically stupified and disconnected from life-saving fluids, they are in a precarious position.
- Ethical Contamination: By training students on a "patient" who is actually a "victim of malpractice", Massey is essentially teaching the next generation that deception is a standard clinical tool.
- Future Licensing: If an investigation proves that students knowingly participated in unauthorised experiments on Harry, it could impact their "fitness to practice" when they apply for their own licences.
- Silence IS Consent: Under the Animal Welfare Act, any person in charge of an animal (which includes students during a rotation) who fails to provide for its physical needs is liable. If a student saw a dehydrated, overdosed dog being used as a prop instead of being treated, that student is technically in breach of the Act.
Legal Firm: Institutional Complicity
And, specifically for the edification of Dean Jon Huxley, by hiring a law firm to suppress Official Information Act and Privacy Act requests, the Governance and Legal Executives at Massey have moved into the realm of Institutional Obstruction.
- Accessories After the Fact: While usually a criminal term, the principle applies here. If the legal team is using public funds to "doctor the narrative" and hide evidence, they are acting as accessories to the original clinical malfeasance. They are no longer "protecting the university"; they are concealing a breach of the Animal Welfare Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act.
The Flow-On Domino Effect
If, in this instance, the Veterinary Council of New Zealand is acting in genuine accordance with its mandate to enforce the Code of Professional Conduct for Veterinarians, then every licensed individual staff member faces a potential striking off or a suspension of their licence.
The students face a tainted degree that signals they were trained in an environment where malpractice was the curriculum.
And the Dean faces a ministerial inquiry into the use of public funds for intimidation through the use of a law firm.
____________________________________
Below:
For a direct insight into the "Dean's" understanding of veterinary pharmacology, I give you Exhibit A (immediately below).
On the left, is the 50mg dose administered to Harry three months before his fateful Massey visit (at that time, that vet had administered the Gabapentin for an actual genuine reason i.e. pain) that floored Harry for nearly 72 hours (see that vet's notes) . . . because even then, with his degree of kidney impairment he should not have been given a drug contraindicated for renally-impaired animals.
On the right, per the Massey invoice, we can see that Huxley's proteges in the Massey ICU facility have administered FOUR TIMES that dosage i.e. 200mg. To be further noted, is that the ICU staff's notes in the "Clinical Summary" (that is all I have so far managed to extract from Massey) are so ambiguous and such a mess that
it is unclear if Harry was administered 150mg, 200mg, or 300mg - as there are notes citing all three conflicting figures.
In the panel below the table, is an excerpt from Veterinary School
Dean Jon Huxley's gag order email, stating (as you can read) that:
"Harry received only those medications clinically indicated for his condition and in full accordance with accepted veterinary standards."
The "condition" for which Harry received these "medications" supposedly "clinically indicated for his condition" was that (per the ICU staff's "Clinical Summary", he "was constantly vocalising from 12am to 2am" , albeit they started plying him with the Gabapentin i.e. 50mg (10mg more than a full dose for a healthy dog) at 1am, and then, without waiting more than 26 minutes, plied him with a further dose of an unstated amount. Before the king hit of another 50mg at 9am, after disconnecting him from his (what would by then have been life-saving) IV fluids at 8.38am (per Page 15 of the Clinical Summary).
To be clear, at the same time as they were loading a fragile, 15-year-old renally-impaired patient (admitted for the express purpose of urgent rehydration) with THREE 500% - 750% overdoses of a convenience sedative for which the only route out of the body is the kidneys, the kidneys, which would then require even more urgent and even higher volumes of rehydration, they cut off the only thimble full of hydration they had been giving him just 8 hours and 38 minutes into a prescribed 24-hour protocol.

Note: Because Harry's renal clearance was reduced by approximately half, these percentages represent an even higher level of metabolic saturation and predictable toxicosis.



See below for one of the "Deleted without being read" notices from Massey's upper management:
While Dean Huxley writes of communication “honesty”, his cc’d colleague, Professor Raymond Geor, Pro Vice-Chancellor of the College of Sciences, was busy hitting “Delete” on MY attempts to honestly communicate (as were the other half a dozen or so of his colleagues at his same "esteemed" institutional "leadership" level).
To Huxley and Geor:
I want the truth about what happened to Harry's body.
Why did the Pet Farewells pet cremation company staffer tell me Harry had been "picked up with all the other post-mortems", "in a bag", and that she "was told" that I "didn't want Harry back"?
Did you cut up my precious little Harry in some completely unauthorised post-mortem student teaching exercise - on top of everything ELSE you did to him?
Whilst "Steffi" gave me a bullshit story that he'd been laid out "carefully" and unblemished "with all his toys" for his private cremation?
A story that, in retrospect, is in no way consistent with her either order to, or participation in, the decision to disconnect his life-essential fluids after she had seen his catastrophic drug overdose, of her having organised and overseen his literal torture as a training aid, her unconscionable deception of me as his having had a "neurological event" instead of disclosure that he was massively over-sedated but was trying desperately to push his way out of it, her visceral disdain of him as I had held him in my arms pleading for his survival, and her revolting acts (making me hold him down while he kicked and screamed, and ripping the cap off the syringe with her teeth to ensure the job got done before I could change my mind) at the point of her termination of him?
The below one-hour and three-minute phone recording demonstrates my fruitless (to this day) efforts to have my situation escalated to maybe, just maybe, get Harry's ashes back (which I want ONLY if they actually are his). Note: Massey has NO veterinary complaints escalation procedure, as you are about to hear.
They do enjoy the opportunity to entertain themselves with a frustrated client, however:
And why, Jon Huxley and Massey's Legal and Governance personnel, have you failed both your Privacy Act obligations AND your Official Information Act obligations by refusing to release any information regarding this "inconsistency" i.e. between this picture and the fact that I had ordered that my dog be sent for special individual-chamber cremation so I could be sure I received his ashes and ONLY his ashes back?
If you did in fact, use Harry as a post-mortem opportunity for your students, Jon Huxley, may the flames that consumed his brutalised and dismembered little body like slaughterhouse waste (which he indeed was to you, to your staff, to "Steffi" the frontwoman for this entire atrocity, and to your ethically-compromised "veterinary" students), one day consume you with equal ferocity as you rot in hell.
In the meantime, since Massey refuses to offer any assistance related to Harry's ashes:
I'm trying to reach an informed conclusion (if one is even possible) as to whether the ashes that suddenly re-materialised on someone's table are actually Harry's.
That is, after my no-doubt memorable reaction to receiving a call from the pet crematorium staff member to ask for a "$120 disposal fee"
(with some of their other obviously accidental disclosures that I've mentioned just up above in this section) resulted in their immediate retraction and Harry apparently suddenly being "tucked up here on the table".
