Vet suspended for misconduct after giving woman wrong ashes after cremating her dog

A vet who gave a woman the wrong ashes after charging her €200 for cremating her pet dog has been suspended for two months from the register of vets over findings of misconduct.

Noreen O'Mahony became suspicious because the casket of ashes provided to her by Cornelius Twomey for her 10-year-old Belgian Shepherd dog Emily in early 2016 weighed less than a casket she received a year previously from a pet crematorium after another of her Belgian Shepherd dogs died.
