Irate about what this vet did to my catWe trusted Dr. Brown implicitly for years!!! Zuzu was refused a second Depo Shot (she had only had one in November, which worked) for her recent severe allergy problem after the vet went on and on and on and on trying so many expensive, unnecessary, lesser options. The depo shot obviously proved to be the only thing that worked between November and now!!!!! The vet felt strongly IN NOVEMBER that it was the food (that she had told us to give our cats), yet she did not assign the new (prescription) food until late February!!!!????? We finally were able to get her SECOND depot shot AT A DIFFERENT VETERINARY CLINIC.....Our cats do not EVER go outside and have been on Revolution for over a year and do not have access to our porch! And, when we do occasionally go on the porch, the cats do not stay, because the tile is too cold for their paws. THE FOOD SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED MUCH EARLIER than late February AND A SECOND DEPO SHOT WOULD NOT "cause diabetes" (which is what she claimed)!!!! Contracting diabetes would be such a slim chance compared to ZuZu developing a hematoma, WHICH SHE DID last month from the vet neglecting her needs AND NOW ZUZU's EAR IS PERMANENTLY DEFORMED!!!!!!!!!!! Further research showed that diabetes and Depo shots are not a factor until a very slight possibility after 5 - 8 of them and then mostly in elderly, overweight males! Many many cats receive Depo shots monthly for years!!!! Never getting diabetes!!!!!! Why was the food not changed? She refused to change from November to late February (and of course all three cats are devouring the more appetizing food now, so there would not have been a problem with our cats eating)!!! Why were so many expensive medicines that did not work charged to us instead of the CHOICE of another Depo and/or the choice of the other food?????!!!!! In fact, considering another Depo and food change to what the vet thought would be better (since November) was refused. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! NOT TO MENTION THE RESULTING HEMOTOMA, EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE, HORRIBLE RECOVERY (because she was still allergic to the food), ETC. !!!!!! Can not express how upsetting this situation has been since NovemberWe have not said anything up to this point, because we trusted them, but OBVIOUSLY there are problems going on at this place!!!! What happened here is obviously NOT following protocol!!!!! Her ear is permanently deformed now from a situation that was totally avoidable!!! No apology, no acceptance of responsibility, nothing!
