Well Naomi, I may be courageous, but sometimes my opinions get me in hot water. I was just stating the facts as I know them. I don't think the vet tech that took him in was too pleased with my little "lecture" but I don't care cuz I'm never going back there once Eli is fixed.

Then came the sales pitch. First came the "laser" neutering at $95. Nope, scalpal's fine. They tried to sell me a $7 floride treatment for his teeth, and vaccinations for Feline Aids. The explanation (after I told her none of my cats goes outside) was that during a nice warm spring or summer day I may have my doors open with the screens, and another infected cat could come along an infect him through the screen. I told her that I lived on the second floor and unless cats fly, he wasn't getting the vaccination. By then I was getting a little annoyed. Comparable to talking to a car salesman.

Afterwards I kept thinking about once the guy's cat bites the kid (I'd bet my unemployment on it that it WILL happen). I can see it now...this poor cat will be dumped either somewhere to fend on his own, or at a kill shelter because of it. That's usually what happens.

Neko1, I understand not all vets and vet techs are like that, believe me. This place had to be the worst I've ever been to.
