I somehow wouldn't buy this explaination. A truly caring vet would have left
a message if they got your machine. He also would not hand the cat over to a
vet tech to watch over especially at home. The cat also would not have ended
up at the Humane Society which in turn contacted you.

Get in touch with a lawyer and begin the proceedings of a lawsuit against
this vet. Also contact the board which oversees medical or veterinary
practices in your state so they can have this vets license revoked. I do
hope you had a witness when you went to the vet? This way when their is a
court case there is a witness who support everything the vet told you. As
stated before also get this cat to a new more reputable vet.

Well I paid the vet a visit this morning. Let me tell you he was
suprised to see me! Here is his explanation.
I authorized the euthinization (SP?) on Friday. He claims that by
Saturday Abby started getting better and he felt that she had a
fighting chance. He said that he tried to call me on Saturday but got
my machine, but then the weekend got away from him and by Monday he
figured it was too late to call me and tell me since I would have been
grieving already.
So he claims he then handed the cat over to his technician with strict
orders to watch the cat and if she started getting worse again to
bring the cat back to him. Well he then brought the tech in. She says
she was moving so she gave my cat along with her two others to a
friend. Apparently the friends boyfriend was angry and bullied her
into bringing the cats in to the humane society.
I have a feeling that the tech and the techs friend are one in the
same because I called the humane society and described the tech, and
they said she fits the description of the girl that dropped the cats
off!
The vet was practically on his hands and knees begging my forgiveness.
He said he will do anything I want to rectify the situation, he was on
the verge of tears. He said he was only trying to save her life
because he felt she had a fighting chance. He first offered to
euthenize her for me again, I told him there was no way I could make
this decision yet again then he agreed to wipe out all of our current
bills, and send her to a specialist in the next big city and pay all
of her bills. I am even more confused now and not sure what to do. I
mean it was not his call to make!
I just pray that by some miracle my kitty recovers and this will all
be a bad dream.
