Poorly cat... please read!
5 Answers
Hey all,
Was talking to one of my best mates and she was explaining that a few weeks ago, her dad unfortunately ran over her sisters cat.
The cat had been in the vets, and today she was saying to me, that earlier this week, had to have its leg amputated, as when the vet had done up the bandage, it was too tight and cut off the circulation.
They didnt have a choice but to let the vet do the op obviously, but have now been asked to pay for it!
Her sister has, imo rightly refused to pay the bill for it, as it was down to the vet.
The vets are not at all happy about this, and no longer want to be treating the cat, but they have phoned round, and no other vets will take out the stitches or go near the cat!
Firstly, any ideas on how they can go about getting the cat cared for and the stitches removed?
And secondly, could they say, pay the amount and then take it to some kind of small claims court? or not pay and take it to small claims?
Any help would be really appreciated!
many thanks

Personally, I would pay them and let them take the stiches out for the cat.'s sake and when you are satisfied that the cat is OK I would then inform the vets that you are reporting them with a view to suing them.
The cat's well-being is the prime issue at the moment. Once your friends are happy that the cat is on the road to recovery, then they can do their utmost to pursue the negligence of the vet.
If the vet's refuse to treat the cat even if your friends pay, I would take it to the local Cat's Protection League, explaining the situation. They have vetinary nurses who can take stitches out. They will not turn it away.
Come to think of it, that would be my first course of action.
Hope all goes well.

I am pretty sure I have read about this kind of thing happening before, and the vets being sued........as I have had dealings with the RCVS in the past when I reported a vet who mistreated a cat of mine, I would contact them to ask for advice. They were extremely helpful and empathetic. Fortunately my case was slightly different as I had used a local vet as the cat didnt like travelling in the car, and was able to take it to the vet I used for the dogs, and it was him who 'suggesed' in a roundabout way, that I report the other vet for the treatment he had given.
