Veterinarian Horror Stories

Tweet

I have heard a lot of stories about what Veterinarian hospitals for animals do to your pets, I have had friends that have lost pets either in an operation, or that they have escaped, never to be seen again, I never believed these stories until I took my cat to have its' claws removed. In November we took out cat to have its' claws taken out as he was destroying the house, we have had this done to our first cat with no problems what so ever, but this time our second cat died on the operating table. When they called us to tell us the news all I could do was just sit there in disbelief, as we had this done before and never had a problem with it...it seems that according to the veterinarian that the cat died as it was waking up, and she told us that the cat may have been sick....what crappy lie that was, I was so angry I was going to go over to the animal hospital and take my revenge, but my wife managed to talk me out of it. Now this story gets better, first off, we got the cat at the animal shelter, where it had its papers that it was neutered, had all its needles and was in perfect health, so the story about it being unhealthy was a lie. Second, days and weeks after the incident I found out that this wasn't the first time that this hospital had lost a cat in the same fashion, so I am now looking into it with more detail, and possibly going to file a lawsuit and have this place shut down...and third, which is the best one yet, was this animal hospital had the balls to call me and say we are not going to charge you for the operation, but we are going to do an autopsy to see what happened and that it will cost $75.00 to complete, I told them that if they laid another knife to that cat I would personally drive the sharp end of it up there behind..imagine, they screwed up and killed my cat, they couldn't charge me for the screw up, so they figured that I should pay for them to butcher the poor thing further....what has the world come to, when anyone can get a licence to slaughter animals, and have the nerve to charge people for it. The picture here is of the little guy I lost he is the one on the left, the one on his back is the other cat I own, he is a pure addition to our family, as was the other until I lost him....I cry every time I see this picture and think....what have I done.....
