According to media reports, Michelle Olson and her husband took their cat Sophie for routine vaccination at the Suburbia hospital.

The couple hurriedly drove back to the hospital where the cat was being given fluids and other medical assistance. Even after all of that, the kitten couldn't be saved. Michelle while talking to the media said that she was talking to Sophie all that time because she somewhere knew that her pet was dying.

According to media reports, the couple decided to not sue the doctor or the hospital even though it was a big blunder on their part. Michelle told the media that her main concern is to make people aware and vigilant and not to bash the doctor or the hospital for their blunder. She also urged people to ask questions to their veterinarian that they didn't think they had to ask so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
