On Sunday, September 27 /2026. I brought my cat to this clinic Medivet in a critical condition. The vet examined him and diagnosed a blocked urethra and a severely distended bladder. I came to the clinic seeking urgent help for my suffering cat. However, instead of immediately focusing on relieving the obstruction, managing his pain and stabilising his condition, a significant amount of time was spent discussing a treatment plan costing around £4,500. During this time, my cat remained in a critical condition. I was told several times that he was becoming weaker and that his heart rate was slowing. Despite this, to my knowledge, he was not given pain relief or treatment to relieve the obstruction before I was expected to make a decision about the expensive treatment plan. When I explained that I could not agree to the £4,500 cost, euthanasia was also discussed. I never refused treatment for my cat. I wanted him to receive the necessary emergency care first and for me to be clearly informed about what needed to be done immediately and what could be done later. My cat ultimately died at the clinic. This has been an incredibly painful experience for me. I came there believing that he would receive urgent veterinary care, but instead I felt enormous pressure about the cost of treatment while my cat was critically ill. I am still seeking a clear explanation as to why appropriate emergency care was not provided sooner and whether the start of treatment was dependent on my accepting the £4,500 estimate. I am not claiming that earlier treatment would definitely have saved my cat. I simply want to understand why the care he urgently needed at that time was not provided sooner.😢😭😭😭💔🖤
