On May 19, 2023 my cat ***** wasn't breathing very well, he was taking ***** breaths per minute therefore I have visited Sage Veterinary at 9 pm PST on May 19, 2023 at *****************************************************************, ** *****. The Vet ************************************ license #***** took my Cat to the back put him on oxygen, she met with me 1 hour 1/2 later and asked questions about *****, she took blood work and **rays and informed me his heart was slightly enlarged and a white film was in his lungs. I've asked her what is the white film, she stated she didn't know, and advised me it may be an infection. 4 hours later she gave me an antibiotic, Doxycycline Hyciate 100 mg to give my cat ***** and sent ** home. When I came home, ***** was breathing more rapidly around 80 breaths per minute, I called Sage nurse and Vet and informed me to stay home because ***** may just be anxious from the ride back home. The entire night into the morning of May 20, 2023 ***** was breathing 80 breaths per minute, I was very concerned and called another Vet in ******* who informed me to bring him in ASAP. I took ***** to ********** Veterinary Center-24 hour Emergency and the Vet took ***** in right away, the Vet called me in immediately after the **rays and tests and diagnosed ***** congestive heart failure and fluid in his lungs. The Vet informed me based on the extent of his condition she recommend euthanasia due to his suffering. Unfortunately, my husband and I decided to move forward to take ***** out of his misery. We miss him dearly. My complaint is directed to **** Veterinary and ************************************ who misdiagnosed my cat and sent him home regardless of his breathing condition. Also **** sent a bill of $1856.00; my husband and I will not pay Sage and the Vet who misdiagnosed my Cat and sending him home the same night regardless of his breathing condition. We would like to request a complaint against ************************************ license and not be responsible for paying $1856 for a misdiagnosis.
