took my pet cat Smokey, to Banfield after he became weak, could'nt walk or use his legs.
I thought that the cat had eaten a rat or a poisoned
small animal; I was told that he ehad an infection and was given prednisone, antibiotics(baytrol?)
and vitamins. The DVM did a blood test and it came back as being low, or anemia. Also the cat was thrombocytopenic, so now the cat was bleeding
internally and would probably need an infusion.
This first visit cost me almost $500.00. A few days later I was to bring back my pet for another blood count, since hos hematocrit, or packed cell volume, was not low enough to warrant an infusion at the emergency animal hospital, which I had no idea existed and was a full service hospital that could have given him what he needed to save his life. Anyway after the second visit to Banfield and another $120.00 spent, I rushed smokey to the emergency clinic . it would have cost me 2,000.00 to save my cat. Do not take your animal to Banfield; I learned my lessonand got nothing but a broken heart from Banfield!!!
