That vet had absolutely no empathy at all, and should be ashamed of herself. Part of veterinarian training is learning how to comfort bereaved pet owners when their animals die, whether or not it was under the vet's anesthesia. When they hide in the back room and whisper among themselves instead of coming forward to express their OWN grief and concern about a little cat's death, they should not be practicing medicine at all. AND NOT CLEANING HER UP AFTER DEATH shows a complete lack of respect for both your cat's life and your own grief. If it were me, I'd write a powerful letter to whatever review board veterinarians have to answer to, and cc the stupid vet and her whole office on the letter. Whether or not the vet's carelessness was the cause of your cat's death, she should have done the above, and with sincerity, too!

Please let all of us at Cat of The Day know the name of the vet and her clinic so we can be sure our cats never go there.
