Good afternoon Dawn,

I know that you are angry and frustrated with the Vet practice and I dont blame you.  I hope that the New Year will bring better prospects for you and all in your care.

I've been to the vets tonight and saw the owner and told him I was less than impressed with the treatment Jasmine received.  He said he'd fed her on the Saturday by syringing but I'm not overly convinced and I can't prove it either way, on the Sunday he asked if I was sure there was no food in the cage and it had been cleared away, yeah like I'm stupid  :sneaky:  I collared the other vet again as she asked how Jasmine was, I told her I was still really  :censored: off about the whole thing and she told me that she couldn't get near Jasmine to feed her and the only way would have been to sedate her and she couldn't eat then anyway  >:(  >:(  She knows she's not in my good books and was really apologetic when I said it would have been so easy to phone me to tell me and she could have come home sooner.  I doubt I'm going to get anywhere but my vet appointment for this evening for 2 kittens was a freebie with the medication as well so if that isn't guilty conscience, I don't know what is.

Oh Dawn I've just caught up - I'm so sorry little Jasmine has lost her battle.  :( At least she will have plenty of furry friends to play with at the bridge. You did everything you could for this beautiful little one, its a shame you were let down by the professionals on this one. At least she had love and care and a warm place to snuggle in her last days. :hug: :hug: :hug:

 :RIP: little one, play hard at the bridge.

I'm so sorry Dawn, I've only just read this thread. You did everything you could and Jasmine will have known everything you did, you did because you cared so much for her.

RIP, Jasmine. :RIP:

I cannot really add anything to what everybody has said but Dawn please do not beat yourself up about this you did your very best as you always do.  It sounds like Jasmine went naturally in the end.   :hug:

As for Vets I know from experience that in an emergency situation it depends entirely on luck, you may get a good Vet who will go the extra mile or you may get a Vet that just wants to get the job done as quickly as possible and by the very nature of the situation if the outcome is less than perfect what can we as a client do?

I don't blame you for wanting to make sure these vets know what they have done to you and Jasmine.  You tried so hard to help her and they, it seems, let you both down.  Good luck with your chat with the owner and let's hope it means no other little animal has to be cold and hungry when they are so very ill  :hug:

There is after all good and bad in all professions and if I wasn't happy with the way a vet was treating my pets, I'd be out of there like a shot. 

The two vets that dealt with Jasmine, I won't be dealing with again and I'm sure they've got the message by now.  I had a good chat with my usual vet, more of a rant really and he knows I won't let this lie.  I've dealt with a lot of vets and if they fluffybanana up on any of my animals, they won't get a second chance.  When I go in again, I'll be having a chat to the owner........I'm still on the boil about it so it may be better when I've calmed down a bit otherwise I'll go up like a bottle of pop.  Sean is the usual vet I deal with but it's hard when it's an emergency as you don't get the choice then.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts, emails and Pav for the lovely flowers  :hug:  :hug:  Sorry I've not posted sooner but I've been trying to get my head round the whole sorry mess and I've had guilty thoughts obviously wondering whether I should have just let the vet put her to sleep in the first place  :sad no:  She was comfortable and warm which is what I wanted most for her but sadly this wasn't enough and she died in my arms.  In some ways I've been trying to put it out of my mind but it's not always easy and hits you at the most stupid times.  It's also got me thinking about my other babes and of course Lucas who I still cry over and poor Pagan who was rescued but too late.  Whenever one dies, it brings it all back with all the babes you've lost over the years so it's really quite depressing and with it being xmas, although anytime is the wrong time, xmas just seems so much crueller in some ways. 

 :RIP: Jasmine, another paw print left on my heart by such a gorgeous girl, and I'm sure Billy only pretended not to love you, xxxxx

Hi, without wanting to sound flipant but is it not possible to get a second opinion from another vet? There is after all good and bad in all professions and if I wasn't happy with the way a vet was treating my pets, I'd be out of there like a shot.  I do hope poor Jasmine pulls through and my thoughts are with you.
