I am so so sorry that you had to go through that! You deserved more than that discount, they shouldn't even have charged you. I hope Thomas/Thomasina is doing better!Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-74924037427805360112011-10-02T21:35:34.325-05:002011-10-02T21:35:34.325-05:00I am not sure who the vet higher authority is but ...I am not sure who the vet higher authority is but I know someone at work who works closely with the animal rescue organizations in our area.

I know exactly how you feel. The best thing to do is voice your concerns and if you feel strongly enough, report the vet practices to a higher authority. I was appalled at the care that my cat received and made it known to everyone in town. That vet closed its doors and I was happy as a clam over it when it happened. <br /><br />I hope little Thomasina is okay. I'm sure she will be.

I might even consider reporting the vet to whoever you report bad vets too.

Leighanne, you better believe I've been spreading the word. I would not want one animal to suffer bc I didn't speak up. I don't know what's going on with our old vet...I suspect something really big, but I cannot stand by and let her harm animals. I know she loved them and her practice at one time...I hope this will be a wake-up call for her.Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-1025524572230249692011-10-02T11:28:32.946-05:002011-10-02T11:28:32.946-05:00Oh my gosh.

I can't believe that they didn't have the decency to call either.<br />I hope that you let people know about the vet office! I would be sure to tell people to never send their pets there!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909018393122599017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-6274795883055733892011-10-02T09:48:36.199-05:002011-10-02T09:48:36.199-05:00This is absolutely horrible!

I cannot believe how terrible of an experience poor little Thomas went through (and you and your children) - the fact that Thomas was then given over to a different person and then had to go into a different house as well! I am beside myself also with anger on this mistreatment by a veterinarian. These types of irresponsible actions are not excusable at all. I am happy, though, to read that she is comfortable and that her nutrition and bathroom habits are unchanged, but I can't wait for you to take her to the new vet. Keep us posted!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-60895151409257037912011-10-01T21:57:00.740-05:002011-10-01T21:57:00.740-05:00Diane, not only will it be the last time I have a ...Diane, not only will it be the last time I have a procedure done at that vet's office, but it will also be the last time I ever darken her doorstep for ANYTHING.
