I'd make an appointment to speak to the vet and face him/her. Then
I'd make a decision based on the outcome of that interview.

Hi
all
I
mentioned a few weeks ago that my petsitter--who works at the vet clinic I
use--proved herself untrustworthy. (Recap: She wasn't giving the FeLV kitties
their supplements, and when I asked her about it, simply tried to lie her
way out of it. Only when it became clear to her that I'd counted the pills
before and after did she back down and admit it.)
Well, I thought about what I should do, told you the
story, and quickly decided you guys were dead right--that I should report her
to the clinic owner. (And in fact, as time has gone on,
I've only got madder and madder in any case about her callous &
uncaring behavior towards those helpless little creatures who were so
dependent on her while I was gone.)
So I
sent a letter to the owner about 2 weeks ago explaining exactly what happened,
and that my dilemma now lay in the fact that while I was extremely happy with
the 2 particular vets I use, I did not want my cats being handled by this
particular technician in future. (I sent it certified and got the proof of
delivery card back.) But no reply in any shape or form has come from the
owner. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I am---you'd think that even if he
didn't want to do anything about his technician he would have sent some sort
of civilized response to a client of several years
standing?
Thus
I hate to continue to give him my $$$.
But
I also hate to lose the 2 vets. One in particular was fantastic
with my feral FeLV kitty Flavia--and me, for that matter, for I was
a tearful mess!--when I thought she was about to die. I walked in
there in floods of tears and an hour later I walked out, with Flavia,
feeling on top of the world, thanks to Dr Diane. Flavia took the food the
doctor gave her and was generally putty in her hands--I think she would
have happily stayed with Dr
Diane forever!
It's
a nice practice generally, and they moved into a pleasant new facility
recently.
I've
been asking around for referrals, and they're not thick on the ground I have
to say. (In fact one of the two referrals I got is for the practice I use--and
it was a glowing referral. The kind I would have written a month
ago!)
Any
of you wonderful, wise people got any ideas on what you would do faced with a
similar situation? I'd really welcome your opinions!
Thanks for listening! Kerry
