Not sympathetic enough to sick animals 12/3/2007

I deeply regret taking my pet to this vet clinic. I took my cat to this vet hospital when it was extremely ill and on the verge of death with cancer to be humanely put out of its misery. Forever will the experience of my pets last moments stick with me. My cat was like a child to me and I should not have had to explain myself to them. They seemed very impatient and just matter of factly wanted to get it over with. One person in particular was rude and made me feel like I was bothering her because I asked a few questions before the procedure. They were rough with my dear cat at his dieing moments. One worker grabbed my cat who was so ill that he wouldn't move at all so roughly by the back of the neck before administering a tranquilizer that he cried out in pain . It was unnecessary to grab him so harshly and without even a word or some petting to him before hand. It wasn't the shot that hurt him it was the way he was just grabbed. \r When I questioned what was going on I was so surprised to be spoken to rudely. The worker snapped that would of gotten bit had they not handled him that way but it is their job to be nice to animals there and I know for a fact no one would of gotten bitten. It hurt so deeply to see him being handled like a nuisance during his last breaths and the last thing I wanted to bring him was more pain. I am not complaining about the tranquilzer shot they decided to give him before administering the euthanasia shot. Maybe the worker has done a thousand euthanasias and no longer has any feeling for the pets or their owners but if that is the case this clinic will continue to lose customers and it will affect their profit and maybe then they will change the way they treat their customers and pets. When I asked if my pets dead body would be treated with respect I was told I don't know I don't work where we send them. It wasn't comforting. Pros: Lots of parking Cons: insensitive staff more
