I know what it is like, vets bills never come on pay day or if you have any money saved. Is it possible that they would let you pay by installments??

afraid not they said if its not paid they wont allow my cat back home and they are legally allowed to rehome her. I can pay for normal vet bills but if they had done the job properly this would never have happend and i wouldnt be panicking.

Rosie - most CP branches will not come out in situations like this sadly. My CP branch run an article in their last newsletter about it, and asked people to contact the RSPCA in these circumstances. I also don't know any emergency vets that will come to a house, nor a vet that offers payment plans. You might be best off ringing the RSPCA and seeing what they can do - whether they would help with her not being stray I don't know.

I would certainly be taking them to task for not doing a proper spay job. At the very least if she does have kittens the vet that did the spay should be responsible for the cost of the vet bill, the surgery and the taxi to get her there.

Most vets do emergency house calls, but it can cost approx £80 for the visit alone, and i know that mine offer payment plans if needed.

And MA's right, this vet should be made to foot the bill, and if they argue the case i can get you the address for The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to mount a complaint.

Hi every one,
I sat up all night las tnight with angel as I could not get thro9ugh to any vets or charities that would help. As it turns out Angel had her first kitten at 9.30 this morning, the second at 11am, a third ten minites after that and then a fourth at 3.30pm whilst i was collecting my daughter from school. They all seem very healthy and feeding well. Angel is very tired tho.
She hasnt past the plancenta yet which makes me think that there could be another kitten waiting...?!.....
All in all everything turned out well.. Oh and I will DEFINATLY be taking the vets to the cleaners I cant believe they have done this to my poor baby..
If anyone remembers Angel lost (supossidly) her litter and had to have an op, at the time the vets said it was best to remove everything and I agreed as she needed to be neutered. She was devistated.........................Now although tired shes really happy and has been purring throughout delivery (even though ive had to help her a few times) The kittens are wonderful and look just like their mummy and daddy.

WELL DONE ANGEL!!!!!

maybe I can stop panicing now............
Thanks for all your help and advice, it was very much appreciated.
Angel is booked in for neutering in 15 weeks time when she should be fully recovered and the kittens will be big enough for her to leave to their devices.

Names are :

Spot (Black with brown spots and a white spot under chin)
Izzy (Bengal brown spot through and through)
Bella (Black with brown spots, bit like a dark bengal look)
Alexy (Black and white banded middle)

Alexy is the only one who looks nothing like a bengal and its very strange as Angel is bengal and Brun is a black british short hair....so where did the white come from?????

I was so very relieved to read your update!! Definately, consequences should come to the vet who improperly performed her surgery. How frightening! Congratulations on the new babies, I'll bet they are adorable. Good luck!

I am so relieved that all went well and your Angel had (for the most part) healthy babies! I was so afraid the thread would turn out badly.

Congratulations!
And yes. Nail that vet to the wall.
With a nail gun.
And really big nails.
