Rekhi, Mahavir DVM

Dr. Mahavir Singh Rekhi, who practices at Skyway Animal Hospital on Welland Avenue, has been suspended for ten months after being found guilty of professional misconduct by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO) this summer.
The punishment springs from a series of videos that show Rekhi choking, punching and improperly restraining animals at his hospital.
Those videos were taken by four of his former employees who quietly documented the acts over the course of three years.
“You have to see it to believe it,” Jessica Hamilton, a former veterinarian technician at Skyway Animal said as she shakes her head. “I felt sick when I first saw it.”
In one video, Rekhi can be seen picking up a cat under anesthetic, swinging it around and letting its limp body slam up against the side of a cupboard.
In another, a puppy getting its nails clipped begins to struggle and Rekhi can be seen using the metal clippers to beat him over the snout.
“It’s been hard holding onto the videos because I’ve wanted to post them publicly but not knowing what was going on in the investigation, we couldn’t,” Larissa, another former Skyway Animal Hospital employee, said.
In 2014, a group of employees from the hospital rallied and reported Rekhi to the CVO with a file folder of video evidence against him.
Though the allegations were investigated and his license was suspended for 10 months on August 20,2016, Rekhi is eligible to reduce that suspension to four months if he completes a series of half-day “mentorship sessions,” and seminars pertaining to the proper handling of animals.
If he follows through, Rekhi could be treating animals again as early as December."
That is not good enough .The video evidence is proof enough he is not fit to ever practice as a Veterinarian ever again.
