Although I can understand the vet's concern about not being paid, I also understand the kitty owner's plight too.
Why the vet didn't type up a promissory note or contract stating this guy would pay the balance on a certain date is beyond me. Some vets are only concerned about money, and it's sad.
When I was in Connecticut, I took my cats to the Colchester Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Berard is a wonderful man who's concern is for the animals, not the money.
My cat Marina Mar (RB, 2001) was very sick and racked up a very big bill. He knew I didn't have it and allowed me to make payments on it. It's too bad more vets weren't like this.
As for the guy, I would've staged a sit-in until I got Doyle back. He was smart though. The media can be a very powerful tool!
BRING DOYLE HOME!!!!!
