I totally agree! Clover will be getting spayed in a couple months, and we are lucky to have the vet that we do. I would definitely report this guy for what he did.. !

Sometimes cats have silent heats. Start reading up on cat pregnancy info. She will probably do good in a room of her own and let your other cat keep reign of the house. Meeka actually gave birth in the living room and when I attempted to move her nest she was not happy and started moving the kittens around everywhere! So I took her back to the spot she gave birth (it cant' even be a few feet away) and she is happy. So I can't isolate the other cats and so far so good, they leave her alone. Every situation is unique though.

Yrs ago with my very first cat of my own we had moved and I took her to new vet. He said he did some "blood tests" and that MC has a disease which effects her white blood cell production. He said she would have to be onmeds for the rest of her life. Granted she was a couple yrs old but was not acting oddly or anything out of the ordinary. After about a month of meds I took her back for check up -no "improvement". This just didn't seem right so I stopped buying whatever pills the vet was selling as they were not cheap. No change in health and of course when we moved I finally took to clinic I use now-they said what???? Turns out this vet was busted for shady vet care!!!
I would pursue this matter!!!
For not showing signs of heat-Bobber who we spayed last yr at age 6 rarely showed signs of heat-she ended up having growths on her ovaries which effected her hormones-that's why she never got pregnant.
Good luck.

First, you really need to report him to your State Vet. Medical Licensing Board. What he is doing is extremely unethical and they need to be notified. Here's a link for Florida's board. Also, his staff should have been very much aware to what he was doing, it's not that difficult to realize that the vet forgot to remove the uterus and the ovaries. There should have been someone monitoring your cat, someone else has to know what was going on.

The media route is also a good one, hopefully it will make a difference.

I would also find out if your current vet can contact the other owners about what you are trying to do, there may definitely be power in numbers in this case. If I can help you anymore, please let me know.

Good luck and please keep us updated. I am sorry that you and your kitty are having to go through this.

Hey, weren't you thinking about adopting a kitten? Are you still going to do that? Just curious.

I'm shocked too!! That's horrible!! I hope that loses his license!!!!!!!! Please keep us updated!

This has happened to two other members recently. From my recollection, Amyscrazy had Nina, whom I think she was TOLD was spayed, get pregnant, and ScamperFarms had her cat deliver a kitten from Ares right after she lost Ares. I'm pretty sure she had actually been to the vet to get that cat spayed.

Good for you.

OMG! That's aweful!!! I've never heard of such a thing. Poor Rilley! If i were you, i'd be suing that vet! Thank goodness you took her to the new vet and had her checked out.Definitely file a police report with proper documentation from the new vet against the old vet- don't let them get away with it! I'm sending you lots of vibes! I'm wondering what on earth happened to poor Rilley when that quack "spayed her" He probably just cut her up and stitched her to look like he did a good job! That's aweful!

Good! I hope that stupid vet pays...and dearly!

I faxed over the paperwork to the newspaper and I'm waiting to hear from them. They said it might be a week or two.
I also called the #'s given to me and I had to leave messages and haven't heard anything yet.
I contacted the local news stations and emailed them the story and papers... no word yet.

DH and I decided that we probably won't get a kitten from my neighbor. We'll have 4-5 of them running around the house soon enough
Reilly has another appointment in 2 weeks with her new vet. I don't know why I didn't start taking her and Tiger to Jake's vet in the first place. It's just when we adopted Jake that was the vet the SPCA assigned for his first check-up and we never bothered to switch either of them over.. I wish I did now. I would have known earlier.
She's eating EVERYTHING in the house. I can't keep her out of our/my food. Cereal, cheese, popcorn.... anything
I still feel guilty because she's so young... She'll be a year old in Sept.
I think she's gonna be a good momma though. She was grooming Tiger yesterday. I also think Tiger's gonna be a good step-daddy
He LOVES kittens... Including when we got Lily and Reilly as babies...He would let them nurse on him and would groom them
Jake on the other hand is going to have to be separated for awhile... he's too rough and I've been working on teaching him "easy" and "no kitty!"
He's doing pretty good with it. I say it when he's trying to play with Reilly and he walks away and plays with Tiger....
I will let everyone know how it's going as time passes... I guess I'll have to start posting in the Pregnancy forum now

Thanks for the update. I have a feeling this is going to be a long running thread!
Good to hear Reilly is doing ok with it all.
I hope the papers pick up this story - it's bound to generate a fair amount of interest from the public.

Wow. I would sue the scalpel right out of that vet's hand. I hope the local news gives him the attention he deserves for being a ripoff artist, and that the state's vet board strongly reconsiders his position.

I think that he should have to pay for the s/n of your cat AND the kittens (at another vet's office, of course). It's only fair as he charged you for the service which would have prevented this situation without doing it.

I would try to find out how to report that Quack to the proper authorities. Chances are he is not even a vet. There is no telling what he may do to someone's precious furbaby. Good luck with your cat and kittens.

I would call the SPCA and let them know too.. since they seem to have been involved with this vet.

Just dropped in for a quick visit and read this post -

I can't believe this could have happened to Reilly - poor baby - I 'm glad things seem to be going well for her and that she has an easy time with the birth.

I agree with everyone's comments that "vet" needs to be stopped - how could he do such a thing to helpless kitties and other onimals.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Sending "easy birth" vibes to Reilly and hugs to you.

Actually, Jake (the dog) was adopted from the SPCA, not Reilly... Jake's vet is the good vet recommended by the SPCA

How is little Reilly feeling tonight? I hope her pregnancy is progressing smoothly. Has anything progressed with the authorities taking action against this vet? I'm sure your local paper and tv stations would investigate and inform the public about this sad excuse for a "synthetic vet." I'm sooo sorry you are going through this right now! I applaud you for being a proactive owner and for trying to do the right thing . Even though it's a horrible circumstance, i'm glad that Reilly and her future babies will be safe with you to look after them . She's one lucky girl to have you for her momma

Oh wow, that's so shocking! When I first read the story on page one, I was so furious; though I've calmed down a bit by page four. I definetely agree with everyone that you need to do everything you can against this vet and alert everyone about him. I would hate it if he was running the same type of a scam somewhere else, with poor kitties suffering! S/N is a very serious thing and he went against anything and everything he could, IMO. I'm sorry that it had to happen to you and hope that Reilly's pregnancy (and birth) goes as smoothly as possible.
