Re: Pokey is in the hospital- he has a blockage

so I am waiting for a call back from the place he was at last night

I complained about his eyes and the fact the cone was too small

which caused him additional stress

I just feel that for that kind of money- more care should have been given

I would post the pic I took with my cell phone camera this morning- but it's too upsetting for me to see

Re: Pokey is in the hospital- he has a blockage

that's crap. I would be really upset.

I understand the money thing. KC's bill was $700. On top of that we had both kittens fixed today. An additional $400.

Good thing the vet offers a payment plan.Chat Icon

I just feel like he should have had the right size cone- I paid for it

and he gets eye infections from stress- but no one cleaned his eyes-or gave him anything for it- it was all over his face - brown gloop- gross- and they were dimissive when I mentioned it

as for the bill- ours went on Amex-

luckily the bill closed yesterday

so $600 has to be paid 11/13

and then the rest will be due in December (so far we are at $725 plus my vet's bills)

we are looking at $2KChat Icon

Re: Pokey is in the hospital- he has a blockage

Espresso was around $2K also...as far as the cone - A. why did he have one on? and B. maybe it wasn't really too small since cat's can slip those things easily?

he had on a cone b/c he has a catheter in

it was way too small- my vet even said it was- they changed it when I got there

he has a small head- but he is persian- so he has alot of fur on his face- and he was uncomfortable- all of his fur was mashed up into his face

plus it was all brown and yuck from the stuff coming from his eyes

it wasn't good

that's awful..I would certainly complain to the manager.

We paid $300 yesterday on Amex and will pay for Bella's spaying tonight when I get her $219. Dec. another $300 and the balance in January.

Add the cost of cremation and the urn..yep, tough time $$ wise.

good

my vet said he should be fine too

I am just glad he is eating the food-

I hope I can take him home tomorrow

he looked so sad when I went to visit him- he was happy to see me- but he was looking at the door

and poor Maggie- she heard meowing on the tv this morning- woke up and went running

only to come back looking sad

she misses him as much as I do
