From: Moe Hair
it's amazing that you can find complaints about businesses, vendors, websites, etc., but when it comes to health and well being, you have no way of knowing who is good and who is lousy unless you know someone in the court system or the profession itself and he or she is clued in. Well you can contact your state department to see if any complaints have been filed against the particular vet. But I don't think that would be as good as a forum for it. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

If you can contact the State Board of Veterinary Medicine, they may be able to help you, I know I had a problem with a vet in Pa. and sent my complaint to the State Board of Veterinary Medicine in Harrisburg and got results. I am sure they have one in your state, maybe if you check on your search engine. I was told that when a complaint is sent in, it is on their record.. Hope that helps, Aimee |

I know what you mean. I had a horrible experience with a vet, a specialist; internal medicine. I tried to warn about her on another forum when people were asking about recommendations in my area for an internist and was told privately I couldn't mention a vets name in a negative way publically. Granted, it was by the list owner, but still. Doesn't stop you from doing it privately via e-mail. -L. |

"Arjun Ray" wrote Sometimes I think the real problem is that people aren't willing to become semi-vets themselves in order to care for their cats. That is, the biggest mistake is to trust a vet from a position of ignorance. And plain old laziness. The same reasons people place blind trust in physicians then are surprised when they get hurt or get substandard care. And, incidentally, the very same reasons people subscribe to the mob mentality by simply following the crowd and/or regularly sterotyping people into broad, easy categories. Making distinctions based on informed thought is just too hard. Wahhh. |
