Long posts

Worried about my cat's difficulties in breathing & irregular health plus inability to jump effectively, I called the local vet, just 350 metres away. They examined her and agreed with my assessment that euthanasia was the kindest treatment option. They took her out to another room to fit an IV to help calm her prior to injecting the drug cocktail. I paid the bill after filling out the consent form and learning she was gone.

The vet just phoned me. A credit for the euthanasia cost has been applied to my account. They had fitted an IV to administer the drugs but that process plus stress of travel in the car & her poor condition caused her death. The euthanasia had been billed but not performed, hence the refund of that component of the bill.
