Udonis Haslem claims his dog was castrated without his permission, so now the Miami Heat veteran is suing a Cooper City veterinary hospital.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Broward County, Haslem alleges Murbur Inc.’s LeadER Animal Specialty Hospital acted negligently in treating his dog. Haslem alleges he brought his dog, Juice, to the veterinary hospital in May after the pet swallowed a rope. The hospital successfully performed surgery to remove the rope, but also neutered the dog without Haslem’s permission and without medical necessity. Haslem now seeks monetary compensation for the doctor’s alleged mistake.
Haslem describes Juice as a show-quality Cane Corso in his lawsuit and claims semen samples from a champion bloodline Cane Corso can range from $3,500 to $10,000.
