I just found out that my vet passed away a few months ago. I found out because I called to bring my new kitten in for a check up and the phone was disconnected. I drove by and it was up for sale. I called another vet close by and they told me that he had passed away. I also inquired about how to obtain my other two cats records, and they said that they had no idea how to do that.

Anyone ever have this happen to them?

Thanks.

Daniela's (dtolle) vet passed away not long ago also. She might know how you can go about getting the veterinary records, you could try sending her a pm.

This just happened to me as well a few weeks ago. But luckily for me, the office is still open ( the vet had a technician and another veterinarian that worked there too ).

I haven't gotten my records yet, since they are still seeing animals right now. I have no idea how you would go about getting your records if the office is closed. Perhaps check w/ the local Better Business Bureau, or the Attorney Generals office.

I'm so sorry to hear about your vet.
(and yours too Daniela, I didn't know)
