I am not sure where to put this but its either here or cat S.O.S.
So, yesterday I was trolling Kijiji to see what sort of animals people are giving away and I saw an ad stating that if you go to so and so vet (which happened to be my vet) to be careful and to email this person if you want to hear her story. So I did….
Please read below for the story… I guess its time for a new vet. I started off thinking that it cant be that bad, I know some owners are overly protective and have seen parents cry and complain just by sticking a thermometer up their butt, so I didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t think much of it… but, omg, I want to cry… this mistake was HUGE, when I read this my eyes just opened up wide… I have brought my Bugsy there so many times and am scared to think what could have happened I have also spent all of my “travel to visit my family†money for a whole year on him… probably for nothing… Anyway, I am sad and pissed.
PS. they included pictures which i have not included. To be honest i only looked at one before I started to cry (Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m at work...so ya, thats bad)... It was just horrible.

Hello
I have had to do up a quick form letter I have received so many responses from my ad on kijiji regarding this matter
We recently took our cat to the clinic for treatment, our cat was left there for in house care , we had brought the cat home on a couple of occasions but realized she was getting worse,,,, on the last weekend home we realized we had to make a decision the cat was obviously suffering and barely had enough strength to walk across the floor,,, we were trying to feed her though the feeding tube that was inserted in her throat as we were instructed to do but every time we would try to feed her she would vomit severely ..
On Sunday night the wife and I decided that we would have to put her down , it was a tough decision but one that had to be made,,,,, but on Monday morning I had a change of heart because this was our oldest cat and I was looking for a piece of hope , so I decided to take her to a second vet to get their opinion, thank god I did ,, I was amazed and shocked at what I was told
The feeding tube that had been inserted into the cat was 16 inches long , 12 inches longer than it should have been… I was told this tube should have been no longer than 4 inches long ,,,, the extra 12 inches of feeding tube was actually strangling her.
The tube had also been inserted wrong , they tried to glue it in and the stitching was done wrong.
If you zoom in on the pic you can see the infection and vomit around the tube , everytime she would vomit some of it was forced out though the hole around the improperly inserted feeding tube,,, it was a mess and sickening
It was the new vet that took the pics because she was amazed at what she was looking at.
After about 2 days of treatment at the new vet , our cat began to show drastic signs of improvement, after about a week she was eating again , drinking again , running and playing…..
Thank god I got this second opinion or this cat would have been put down.
Last year I had another cat under their care their was not so lucky, this cat was put down,,, I received word yesterday from an independent vet that the treatment this cat received while under their care was questionable,, they examined the medical files I provided them and they believe that this cat may have been saved , it is the cat in the picture tine tine…
We have 8 cats and a large dog , we consider ourselves responsible pet owners and we will do with out to pay for our animals health care but how do you really know what kind of treatment your animal is receiving, my last trip to that clinic cost us app 1500.00 , when I requested our money back , so I could pay the other vet who actually cured our cat , I will not repeat what was said to me,,,
Thank you for listening
