Business ProfileforMedVet Chicago

My 5 years 10 months cat was admitted to MedVet as a transfer from VEG, for ongoing respiratory issues and new onset wobbliness. Prior x-rays done at ************************ and VEG indicated the need for an ***, and I was given hope that MedVet could do the *** the following day. Next day, the doctor treating my cat ****************** went over the risks associated with an *** including the risk of my cat dying due to anesthesia complications, but then again the need to do the *** to rule out lung cancer for which my cat would need surgery, so again anesthesia, and again the risk of dying. I never accepted the possibility that my cat had cancer and that he could die because other than being overweight, he was a pretty healthy cat until two months prior. After a lengthy conversation with ******************, we agreed on a more conservative approach to rule out other diseases first using regular blood draw, and to do an ultrasound of my cats lungs instead of an ***. I specifically insisted NOT to do any biopsy due to the risk of sepsis despite being on antibiotics my cat had a fever, elevated WBC and low Platelet count.Guess what: they did biopsies on my cat without my permission and they did not tell me anything about it. They probably thought that I will not notice it. My regular veterinarian at ************************ accidentally disclosed/confirmed that to me when I reported noticing some puncture wounds after we came home from MedVet. I wonder what else they did to my cat behind closed doors.The cancer diagnosis was never confirmed due to inadequate sample size and two weeks later my cat died from sepsis despite being treated with antibiotics and steroids. I deeply regret that I trusted ****************** and MedVet. If you love your pet DO NOT go to MedVet; they treat pets like guinea pigs and you end up paying for the harm they did to your pet. I will never forget this horrible experience.
