A six-month-old puppy was accidentally overdosed while undergoing a routine operation at a Glasgow vet practice following a syringe mix-up.Furious dog owner Amy Marenghi claims her dog could have died due to the negligence of Vets4Pets at Glasgow Forge that left the pup "dazed" and "traumatised".Vets4Pets have confirmed they will now carry out a full review and will submit the incident to the Veterinary Defence System.An online post raising awareness of the incident on Wednesday (February 9) by Amy has received nearly 400 shares from other pet owners.
