I would recommend you try to get some of your money back. You've spend a decent amount of money. Money that was wasted on the first vet and money that was unnecessary for the second vet. Either way, if you don't want this first vet to do this to another retile, you need to address this with him/her. You need to make them aware of their lack of knowledge and their lack of compassion for the animals they are butchering.
Good Luck!
