Woosehill vet sentencing adjourned

By Jon Nurse

The case of a Woosehill vet convicted with four counts causing unnecessary suffering to animals has been adjourned for three weeks.

Awuah Ohene-Gyan will be sentenced at Reading Magistrates Court on Wednesday, July 11, after a pre-sentence report is compiled in the coming weeks.

The charges related to four animals - three dogs and a cat - treated between February and October last year when the animals were admitted to Woosehill Vets practice in Emmview Close.

'Worst vet care I've seen in 33 years' says RSPCA inspector

The veterinary surgeon was convicted in his absence after he failed to attend a two-day trial at Reading Magistrates' Court last week.

Following the trial, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons confirmed it is currently investigating Ohene-Gyan, however a spokesman said he is still allowed to practise as a vet.

The surgery in Emmview Close has now closed and a notice on the door declares the former tenant had 14 days from April 12 to remove belongings from the building.

    I took my eleven year old cat to see this "vet" and he diagnosed her as having a heart murmur and kept her at the surgery for two weeks, each time i went to see her he kept adding extra days to her stay. after the fortnight was over , we were allowed to bring her home with a months supply of medication. at first she seemed to pick up when her meds ran out he said she needed more and could i pick them up which i did, on doing so he said he'd see me in two months which i thought odd as he said she'd need the meds on a monthly basis. We continued the meds but she she seemed to deteriorate not recognising me or my wife and refusing to eat. We then decided enough was enough and took her to another vet , we explained about Gyan's diagnosis of a heart murmur and showed the vet the meds he'd prescribed. she examined Tidgey and said that she had never had a heart murmur at all. we were devastated . she then told us that Tidgey's kidneys had been damaged most likely by the meds and she wanted to keep her overnight and that we would be able to pick her up the following morning.saturday morning arrived and we got the call we didn't want. Tidgey passed away in her sleep at 7:am. we were heartbroken we'd trusted this man with her care and are now in debt to a friend who paid the £200 vet bill to him for us . as far as we're concerned he too kadvantage of our vulnerability and love for Tidge. He should be banned from going near any animals Ever.

   My Cat was in his care ....He insisted he take her in a box in a taxi from binfield to wokingham practice as there was more staff there - she was gasping for air 1 hour later he rang and just said she is dead ....If only I had taken daisy to another vet then she may be alive today .....He also kept charging us for more money ,Im so angry that I let my cat down she was my best friend - I hope he gets sent down for this ....I'm very upset
