I brought my 13 y/o cat in on 3/7/23 due to vomiting and diahrrea and had went off her food for a day. I was able to get her in that day as I was very concerned for her health. Upon seeing one of the vets after a discussion of the events and what was going on with my cat the vet proceeded to due blood work and she received an anti nausea injection. The vet also prescribed flagyl and a probiotic. The vet also administered fluids for my cat. Upon taking my cat home she still wasn’t eating although the vomiting and diahrrea had stopped. I had not given her flagyl as she want eating anything and continued for the next day to not eat. I called and brought her in for a second time on 3/9/23 and saw a different vet DVM Gallagher. This vet proceeded to give her another anti nausea injection and gave her the flagyl at that time ( I hadn’t given it to her previously as they prescribed due to non eating) and then also was given an appetite stimulant. I took her home again and about 5 hours later my cat was shivering and howling ataxic gait and lethargy so I was concerned she went downhill just from going to the vet. I called the office at Marion Vetrinary hospital and they informed me that they were booked up for the rest of the day and I would have to do emergency care at this time. I was highly upset for the very fact my cats condition declined rapidly from saying the vet at 10:30 am. My suspicion is the flagyl medication. Marion veterinary hospital sis not even seem to care about my concern but said I could be seen the next morning. My question is if you give an animal a powerful drug and they might be having reaction why wouldn’t you see the animal? Talk about bad customer service. I ended up over at UF emergency hospital which cost me another 100.00. I paid over 100 dollars to take her to Marion veterinary hospital earlier that day. I am beside myself how a veterinarian could really care less or not even follow up with me about my cat. I guess it’s all about the money anymore to me. I guess that’s why I don’t take any of my animals to vets anymore I have lost trust and all they care about is your next vaccine….. so
Disappointed what happened to critical thinking? I was hoping they would have kept her to observe she was EATING again and none of this is still addressed after several hundreds of dollars later and a cat that won’t eat !!!!ugh
