Barbara, I am absolutely amazed by the veterinarian's response to your
situation. Absolutely astounded. Truly, your best bet is to move on, as it seems
many other clients as well as former employees, and even COLLEAGUE, have
done.
It amazes me that people like this go into medicine. The very first vet
that I had for my very first cat (who remains my only pet cat, Wynnie, FeLV
negative) was just a traumatic experience for me. They stuffed her in one
of those sacks in order to take blood, and they left the room with her; I don't
know what they did, but they traumatized her. Up until very recently, she would
hyperventilate at any vet's office--foam at the mouth, void her bowels, vomit,
to the extent that the vet asked me whether she was always like this because he
was concerned that she was ill. I will never forgive that first vet for damaging
my baby. Our newest vet is a dream (Dr. Jamison DeSantis at Oradell Animal
Hospital in Oradell, NJ, not the same vet that cares for the FeLV fosters) and
Wynnie has relaxed a little bit...but it costs an arm and a leg to see him. I'm
glad that the vet who cares for the fosters is as kind with discounting our
visits (he's been amazingly generous, which is why we see him) but his
facilities are tiny and primitive, and he can be a bit brusque. I could never
take Wynnie there, she'd have fits.
In any case, it sounds like the best thing is to move on. I cannot believe
some people are such jerks though, I really can't.
