Well, as stated earlier. I would bring legal action against the vet, press
to have his medical or veterinary license revoked, have him refund your money, and of course never go back to him again. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "AJ" wrote in message om... To answer your question, no I was not there when she was put to sleep. I was with my golden retriever when we put him to sleep, and it was just awful, and I just could not be there. I said my goodbyes ahead of time and my husband signed the consent. This is so strange, I cant even begin to describe what I am feeling now, and I cant imagine my little girl having to deal with the death of her cat again, but looking at our little Abby laying there in a cage at the humane society was just heart breaking, I had to bring her home. Oh boy I am totally confused. AJ |

Reminds me of the doctor in England who was killing off his patients.
Too bad he hung himself; He should have rotted. Anyway I do hope you all weather this ok. It's obviously going to take a while so hang in. Bill AJ wrote: Hello everyone, I am posting this here because I am totally stunned, and distraught and in need of some input from fellow animal(cat) lovers. I brought my 6 year old tabby in to the vet on December 17th because she was not eating and vomitting up bile, and was basically lethargic. after about 5 days at the vets office he told me she was a very sick cat and her blood work as well as US revealed kidney and liver problems. He stated that she was not reponding to antibiotics, or IV fluids, and wanted to continue with more tests. At this point my husband and I decided to have her put to sleep. Our bill was already escalating, and there was no improvement. Let me just stress that this was an EXTREMELY difficult decision to make. Our four kids were also extremely attached to her, most of all our six year old daughter. It has been five weeks now and my daughter is still crying over her death. Anyway we adopted our kitty from the humane society at 10 weeks, where she was microchiped before leaving. Well yesterday I received a call from the humane society saying that they had my cat there! I explained the situation, and she asked me to describe our cat. After describing her I was asked to come in right away. When I arrived I was shocked at what I saw, it was my cat Abby! Supposedly some woman dumped her off along with two other cats. The woman claimed she had been given to her by a friend. Her belly was shaved and her leg. The woman said that the cat was vomitting so she brought her to the vet, where all testes came back negative. I have been an emotional wreck for the past 24 hours. I mean we have all been grieving her passing. We even set up a memorial with a picture I had taken of Abby and lit candles around it daily. Anyway I went in today and brought her home, the hardest part was trying to explain to our kids that she was not actually dead, that the vet lied! What do you all think of this? I am stunned. I tried calling the vet but his answering service refuses to call him, they say this is not an emergency. I cant for the life of me figure this one out. What do you all think? AJ |

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. AJ |

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. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "AJ" wrote in message m...

This guy is lying through his teeth. He got your machine?????? Where is your message,"hello, this is the vet, your kitty may be getting better, so this is what I did, please contact me on Monday?" |
