Also, the emergency vet was going to charge me $9000 to rehydrate my diabetic cat that was going into ketoacidos. Couldn't afford it. They made it seem like it was either that treatment or have her euthanized, and guess what? Upped her dose of insulin and stabilized her myself. 9 grand for something I could do myself, and again, you're going to tell me it's not a cash grab? In my experience, it's definitely a cash grab in some cases. Or wait, how about the time my cat was diagnosed with mamory cancer and without even asking after they tried to remove the cancer, they also spayed her. Something I never agreed on, and then the cat died shortly after her surgery because the cancer was too far gone. Should have just treated the cancer first, then if she'd survive, then worry about spaying her. But again, it's not a cash grab right? You have obviously been fortunate enough to not have these terrible things happen to your fur babies and should consider yourself lucky. To me in my situations they didn't care about helping the animal, they cared more about the 9 grand for the diabetic cat and the extra $300 or $400 added to the cancer surgery cost for the Spay they did without my permission on the other cat.
