I think I would be rather upset too. You would have to be a pretty cruel and heartless person to do that to a little baby. I can't believe your vet wold scold you about saving a little life. And that they would have the audacity to be so rude. You were trying to save the life of a sweet little one who could not fend for himself. Would they say the same thing if it was an abandoned child you found just a few hours old. Of course not. And from what I have heard from many of the bottlebaby moms here and elsewhere these kittens grow up to me the most affectionate and loyal of adults. I think sometimes the training and studies of the vet and others gets in the way of their humanity and caring.
