Update
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

AJ This is totally insane! But I guess what's done is done. Since cats are considered property, and I don't think you'd fare well in a lawsuit, I think I would take him up on his offer but I would want to pick the specialist myself, instead of him choosing one. Good luck and keep us posted.

I agree about taking him up on his offer and trying to get the cat well.
That would be my first priority. After this, however, I would never use this vet again. Gail "Karen" wrote in message ... "AJ" wrote in message om... Well I paid the vet a visit this morning.

AJ,
I have been reading your story with amazement. I have never heard of such a unbelievable situation! And this poor cat getting tossed around like this. I cannot believe the vet did not try harder to get a hold of you and wouldn't think you would be happy to find out your cat was better and he didn't have to put her to sleep. And what a heartless technician to drop a sick cat off at the humane society, why didn't she just bring the cat back to the vet if she couldn't take care of it. What a bunch of losers. I cannot imagine what a rollercoaster you must be on right now. You and your family. What is the condition of your cat now? Is she still very sick? And if she is what is her diagnosis? I think this poor cat deserves a second chance after all she has been through. Of course I don't know how sick she is and if she is suffering or not. My heart goes out to you...Janice

My heart goes out to you...Janice The Vet sounds like he is young and idealistic. After all, they go into the profession (usually) because they love animals. Doctors are not always good businessmen and they hire others to handle the business -- that is where trouble can appear. I am sure everyone has learned a valuable lesson -- do take him up on his offer. Purrs in abundance for kitty's wellbeing and recovery.
