KOWIE VETERINARY PRACTICE

Took my 14 year Yorkie, him being deaf and going blind, to the Vet after he had developed what seemed to be a liquid growth. Consulted the lady vet, who seemed very kind at time, who took him for quick view and said asked if injured as seemed full of blood. Further suggestion to keep overnite and investigate further with operation next morning - did mention previous Yorkies only sedated as anaesthetic took severe. Well I phoned the next morning to hear how he was - okay and procedure would be done later in morning. Was phoned later to fetch him and told he had very aggressive cancer. Result took him home, never recovered and next morning back for cremation of my beloved companion. Why didn't the phone and suggest euthanasia instead of sending him home!! And saving all the extra misery caused. Recently moved from Bloemfontein, where I have utmost respect for Vets there - they would advise one of what was best for furchild, and not just present one with a huge bill!!! Been told by owners of 2 similar cases with deceased animals. At first I was just shocked , but now in afterthought, am actually mourning in anger, and at a cost exceeding my annual cardio visit (in Bftn) where I would have ECG, sonar + treadmill exam for less. Please be warned to give strict instructions of if...and not rely on vet. ! I regret it now that the only thing I have left is a huge receipt, but no companion
