and then there was the time... na I had best not. I might scare ppl off of using the buses! hehe ;-)

trying to post rest of my comment... Now I'm not suggesting the vets were being mean money grabbing so and sos and I loved my Gus to bits but for the end result wot a waste of money in between.I think sometimes vets avoid making the "decision" for you and assume you are wanting to prolong ur pets life for as long as possible too - my mum knew a woman who had a cat who was very old, had no teeth, deaf, blind, incontinent, and couldnt walk. She carried it around everywhere and had to bath it daily (for obvious reasons) but wouldnt do the kindest and decent thing (for the cat)and put it down.I could continue with my list of examples.. it's a shame some vets (not all) dont just tell it how it really is. wots wiv that word man!

mayb she's had a special delivery too and was trying to test the water to c if she's going mad or not...

ooooo now ya got me finking about the story me bro told me about the time a drunk person wouldnt get off the routemaster he was driving (me bro not the drunk)... he took him back to the garage but still wouldnt get off so he drove round and round in circles til he fell off the end of the bus :D class!

:o

**testing, testing*** not having much luck posting the rest of my comment :|

As well as is being incredibly heart breaking it was a very expensive time. At no point were we asked whether we could afford everything, whether we had insurance and whether it was wot we wanted (u assume the vet knows wot theyre talking about). It seemed that they were using Gus to try out new procedures and tests instead of being realistic - growths in the intestines r serious things!

Lilolil I've had many similar experiences with normal vets and emergency ones in the past - last one being poor Gus, back in June. He was a young cat (only 3yrs old) and had a growth in his intestines. We took him to the vets, who took lots of tests including numerous x-rays. We colleted him the same day, they called us back the following day and advised he needed an operation to remove the growth which also meant he would have to stay at the vets the whole weekend. He came back in a really sorry state - the nurses hadnt really looked after him properly. Things were beginning to look positive and he was even beginning to run around like his usual loonytoon self but a few days later the vet called to say it was cancer and had spread so we had to have him put down.

Ah gotcha!
