My cat was having loose stool with blood in it, so I called my vet and they said unless I paid emergency fees she could not be seen until next Thursday... ok my first mistake was not paying the emergency fee but I was kind of annoyed...
so I called a local vet (we travel almost an hour to get to our vet) to see if she could just come in for a visit. I figured it wasnt that big a deal for someone to do a fecal test, see her and then give her some meds... I knew it was nothing serious and this way we wouldnt have to travel so far and pay extra.
Well, we do not vaccinate our cats at all that means NO rabies either. It is not money but the fact that my one cat has already had injection site sarcoma and we dont feel the need for all the injections anymore... they never ever leave the house.
We had discusssed this with our vet and they were fine with it.
Well at the vet today, they forced us to vaccinate her... we told them everything and that we refuse and they said it was the law and that we couldnt refuse and they vaccinated her.
Obviously, i will not be returning there... it will be back to the other vet.... I know this was my fault to begin with by getting mad at the vet to begin with.
But what would you have done in the same situation?
Im just sooo mad right now and want to know what other people would have done.
