You be the Judge! Adopted my first pet, as a 77 yr old. Oct 19 moved to Ft. Myers into a senior retirement center, My sister from Texas advised Tails A Waggin was 5 miles away, pets required vaccinations here. Took YO, my cat for shots, that made him very sick, he, would not {DRINK} water, or eat. When I picked him up, he cried. 2nd trip, took in his stool. 3rd trip, cat was given a shot and (3) Three prescriptions pills, when given pills, he would vomit. 3rd trip, a x-ray and blood work. Showed the Doctor, how badly my cat was limping on the left side. Cat had lost weight and getting worse. 4th trip, urine sample. He, had a urinary infection. Rushed Yo, in to get his shot, the two Doctors were outside talking to a person, I, was told the technician would give YO, the need shot. \r
Called my sister in Tx, with the news, she was livid, telling me the first test should of been a urine test, when a animal is not drinking. Then i called a friend in Tampa, Fl. who has two cats, she agreed with sis. When a human, or a pet goes to a Doctor, and is not drinking water, the the 1st or 2nd test is a urine. (or should be) NOT the last.\r
My total bill was $916.44. Yes they took this senior for a ride. The sad part is my cat now has a caught/sneezing, that he got from there clinic. So, now I do research, for a trusted vet. \r
May my review just help one senior to do research. I miss my playful buddy, who now comes out from hiding only to eat, and drink.
