Dr. Miller : KILLED MY CAT! TOTAL NEGLIGENCE I WILL NEVER get over it. Keep playing it back in my head , trying to save my cat's life....no second chances here. Bella was a fearful rescue from the street. Because of her fear, she had to be handled gently. Four times Dr. Miller helped her a lot. He only killed her once. On the day I brought Bella to him, I wanted him to take a look at her eyes, because she was having a little trouble seeing, but was still playing and getting around just fine. In order to examine her, he would always have to sedate her quickly because of her fear. She ate at midnight the night before, and then I took her food from her. At 8:30 AM we brought her to him. We had to wait over an hour. I reminded him that Bella had asthma, and sometimes gagged. Milk helped her..I told him that she had an asthma attack from fear 6 months earlier when I tried to pick her up, and she had to be rushed to the emergency room and receive an injection to revive her. I gave Dr. Miller the x-rays from that visit, and also a little jar of milk for Bella, in case she started to gag.. He said he didn't need it, as he "had his own stuff".He said to leave Bella with him, and to call at2:30 PM. So I called him around 2:30PM, and was told he was just about to get to Bella , and I could come get her in 45 minutes. I got ready to go get her, and the phone rang. . He said, "I just looked at your cat's eyes and there's something really bad going on in there. Maybe cancer or something systemic. I took some pictures of her eyes." Alarmed, I asked him why he did that and if he had sedated her first, knowing how scared she was.. He said no because she was so still, it wasn't necessary! I asked him what I should do, and he said "you don't have to do anything because she just fell over and died." No apology. No softening the blow. Almost disinterested. I was hysterical, he just tried to protect himself. We picked up her ashes and they charged us! Read Less
