There is a ER vet here so she took him in when they opened at 5:00 tonight. She paid them $2400 up front for surgery. The cat had to wait 7 1/2 hours for surgery.. 13 hours after the vet said had to have it right away. Don't vets have some sort of code of ethics? She was willing to pay more because it was a emergency. That's just awful to let a animal suffer. Now they said it might not live anyways. That was after they took her money of course and let it sit for 7 hours! |
That's rather sad to hear... Makes me wonder if the said individuals even have ethics....
I think it's plain thievery if they just make the patient wait hours on end while taking the payment upfront that's kind of idk... skeevy...
I hope the cat lives, and I hope you find a more caring vet in the future.
