I'm going in the morning. And I'll approach it as you suggested. I've said before, I'm not excitable, and am very professional, but this is personal and I fear I'd get irritated and short with the staff.
Did you ever find out what was in that syringe that made him loopy? You do need to ask any time there's some doubt about the medication. Mistakes happen to the best of us, and if there's been a mistake with medicines the vet needs to know about it.
The way you ask without being accusatory is to say "I think there may have been a mistake. This doesn't seem to be the same medicine Simon got before, and the intended dosage seems different." Notice that you're simply acknowledging that a mistake could have happened, not saying something like "Are you trying to kill my cat, giving him the wrong medicine?!" A good vet will not object to being asked when the client notices something wrong. Doctors also know that mistakes happen, and they're grateful when someone catches the mistake before it does major damage.

The vet and I are still establishing a relationship and I do like them so far.
But you're right, there were different people in the office this past week and it needs to be addresses.
Thank you for giving me a script, so I don't veer off course.
Thank's again. Greatly appreciated.
