Took my cat in to get spayed and declawed. Simple procedures. Turned into me picking her up and transporting her to another hospital to get a blood transfusion, resulting in saving her life! First, I was not explained how the blood pretest before surgery is important. Secondly, they waited about 10 hrs, if not more, for her to bleed out, before conatcting me and telling me she will not survive the night, you need to transport her. I should have been notified in the morning, when it didn't need to result in a blood transfusion. Instead, I was told that she was sleeping, come pick her up later. What difference would it have made if she was sleeping or not, except that she was bleeding and they were trying to cover their butts before I picked her up.
The manager was not helpful, and before I was done talking to her, she switched me over to the vet. So now I am stuck with a $3,000 bill for a blood transfusion, which is not my concern. My concern is that my cat should not have gone through this.
And gee, I wonder where the negative review of the gentelman and his experience with his dog went that he posted?
A day after this post, I noticed the cat was biting her paws. took her to a vet and it was discovered she had bitten 3 of her paws to the bone because they were infected.
Everything that could have gone wrong, did!!!! And the icing on the cake, the bill for the spay and declaw arrived in the mail.
