Re: Ontario - Lodge complaint about Vet?

He complained about a simple visit to the emergency vet was $135, he said the vet was lying through his teeth. I stand by my comment.

Actually last week I got a quote of $4k to amputate my cats front paw. Now this is from a "specialized" feline doc but after doing some reading most amputations don't cost anywhere near what I was quote.

Wow taking this to heart? I said the emergency vet is expensive, nowhere did I say they were money grubby!
That said I did get a 2nd opinion, and the cat is severely backed up, causing discomfort and dehydration.

I call it incompetent, because before it was a "food allergy" she did note he might be backed up, but decided to take my money instead. When I took him in again, the solution was to put him down.

The 2nd vet explained what was going on, showed me the xrays (no mass in his belly) and I elected to have him cleaned out.

I'm certainly not painting every vet with this broad stroke, but this one for sure.
