I took my cat for an exam before getting his dental. That day we decided to get blood work done also. The blood work was good. A month after his dental I brought him in for check-up because he became sick. He had lost almost 2 pounds and was very dehydrated. They decided to take more blood work. Instead of waiting for results, which takes about 15 min., I was told to go home and they would call after hours. I did not understand that because he was so sick and might of needed medication. Well thy did not call that evening. The next day which was Sat. I ended up calling 3 different times, each time too busy to tell me the results. The last time I called I was very upset because they close early and I felt my cat needed help. They said again they still were very busy, so I said I will have to take him to another vet! That Monday I took him elsewhere and they had all his medical papers sent to them. If he did not get medical attention that day by Tues. he could of been dead!! His HCT was 45.7 and dropped to 17.7. When dropping to 15 it calls for a blood transfusion. Medication did not work to bring it up, so he did need a blood transfusion and feeding tube. I called the O.M. at All Pets wanting answers why no one there got back to me about this. I also wanted to know why they prescribed 125mg of clavamox to a 11 pound cat instead of 62.5. He got over double what he should of got. I never did get any straight answers by him! The last time I had a conversation with him he actually told me TO GET OVER IT!!. He also stated once I should of went to the emergency! Why would of I have gone there when I did not know he was dying until that Mon.! This O.M. should not be dealing with the public, he's very uncaring and rude. It was also 10 days later after his dental I called about taking the clavamox and they stated he should of got it when he went home that day. I was never told this. Also every time you call about something they say I'll write a note to the vet and we will get back to you and they never do. This experience has been the worst nightmare I have ever had at a vet. My cat also did end up dying. He was only 8 years old.
