I can see that for anything involving treatment, the reason seems sound enough. But for tests, which reveal info about the animal's condition, I can't see there is a real issue.

But they would have had to speak to Vets A, to find out which tests had already been run etc.

1) Broken the vets code of conduct in not seeking a second opinion referral.
2) damaged the morale of the staff at the work place.
3) If they cannot satisfactorily explain why they took the pet to another vets, they will be issued with a formal written warning.

Absolutely unacceptable. The outcome has been decided before a hearing.

The individual should be provided with full details of the allegation before the hearing, including statements and investigation findings - this is required to test the evidence".

Disciplinary outcomes should be proportionate and reasonable. Worst case scenario, a possible counselling, no more. Anything beyond that and I would be raising eyebrows over the true agenda from the employer.
