Really happy for your cat. I have to congratulate you, you really care for him, going ahead even when you had very little money. Not everyone would do that

I'm already in the process of legal action with the emergency clinic. The state my cat was in was not acceptable, let alone the price.

Thought I would quote this as it was awaiting verification...Jill

LOL Know what you mean BUT actually charging for administering a drug ( second nature to an experience vet or nurse ) to me falls within the realm of excessive! Once I disputed ( citing my reasons ) a '£50 fee' on my bill for the 'use of a certain piece of (non-disposable ) equipment' during a routine procedure and straight away and it was removed. The same practice also had a charge of £30 for 'admission to hospital' which was on a different site!

Glad to hear Tommy is on the mend
