Fourways Vet Hospital port Alfred

Kowie vetinary clinic

Am so furious now that over the shock! Moved here few months back so new to area. Suddenly my 14 year Yorkie companion developed a growth on the side, so took him to vet to check out. I still remarked that felt liquid so she took him to investigate and returned saying blood - had he been injured. Said didn't think so but 14 year old, totally deaf and blind - could see the glazing of eyes. Lady vet suggested left him there overnite that they could check further next day. I phoned early morning to hear if Stompie okay. Yes, will be operated on about an hour. Couple hours later got a call could collect him to go home! Only when fetched him told discovered aggressive cancer!! My question now, once over the shock, why continue at his age + condition ,- would it not have been kinder to let me know at time best choice to put him down. Brought him home where he lay in his bed sleeping except occasional change of position. I had mentioned my Yorkies before had only been sedated as they do not do well with anaesthetic. Now I regret ever taking him to vet till really necessary. Have heard from 2 other people similar comments. Please check vets record before sacrificing your furkid. Back to vet 24 hours after operation, for cremation. All in all, misery he and i went through, cost almost 4 grand!! Very heartsore. But other lady paying off 6 grand for deceased cat!! Please beware
