breaking up with my vet
I think I'm going to break up with my vet. I don't have a problem with him, he's a good compassionate vet but...
his office manager left/was let go (I'm not sure which really) and the past few months I haven't gotten any notifications for upcoming appointments. On top of this my 20+ cat passed away, I got TWO condolence phone calls from the oncologist who met him once, I got phone calls from my friends who don't even like animals... but nothing from the vet who treated him in his last days. To be honest, I was put off by this.
(I had sent a note to the office that Oscar had passed and the oncologist notified the practice, so they do know my cat died.)
~BUT~
he is a good vet, he has a holistic approach and is very open to alternative medicine. He didn't insist I vaccinate my indoor only senior. He's not the cheapest guy in town but he does good work.
I have three other cats who are healthy ... am I overreacting? I know I'm taking the whole thing very personally... what would you do? there are other vets in the area who have been recommended to me.
*sorry this isn't a cat health question, more like a 'people mental health' post*
what would you do?
PS I used the memorial tag, I didn't know which other one was appropriate
