Your girl is very small and, whenever anything comes up, will need excellent vet care. IMO, your vet has exercised poor judgment. In the same situation, I would be finding another vet. |
I agree with you about the vaccines. This is not the usual vet I see. He was the only one available at the time I called. I called from the road. In his defense, and I'm not condoning it but in his defense Mia did not seem that sick initially. She had a cough and she had bilateral yeast and bacteria infections. I have since had two other vets (Not the intitial vet she was seen by) taking care of her. However, I do not think that the vaccines are what caused her to get this sick. She was sick (As per Susan) and she was being held longer due to the cough. Then I got an email (Which I have) stating Mia or Joy as they called her was fine and I could come to see her. When I saw her I spent about 15 / 20 minutes with her tops and took her. It was ONLY on the way home about a half hour into the ride did she then show signs of a problem. She was shaking her head and crying. Honestly I thought ear mites. I called my vet office from the road and brought her in. At Susan's the day I got Mia, Susan said that she had just gotten a health certificate done a few days ago, clearing Mia. I did not look in the folder for it. I Assumed it was there, but again honestly I believed Susan and would not have asked for it anyway. After, I asked for reimbursent for vet bills ONLY after they got up to about $250 did I then get supplied the name of the vet where Susan took the whole litter for a cough on 12/20. I did call them and they verified they were there on 12/20 and were given Zithromax. She did not take them back there for follow up. Again being honest, Parkway didn't say she needed to come back for follow up, that is what they told me on the phone, but did say if they weren't better of course they should come back. Susan did not bring Mia back. I can't say how the brother and sister are, only how Mia was and is.
