I'm not sure what I'd do but I'd be as mad as you are. It sounds as if she's either normally mentally scattered or else having problems of some sort. I sure wouldn't use her again or recommend her. I'd try to not go out of my way to bad-mouth her (not sure I could accomplish that) but would definitely tell anyone who inquired (perhaps thinking to use her "services") of your experience.
I'm glad the animals seem to be OK...but I'd be wondering what really went on with them all along, too.
