That's too bad about the kitten. But my experience with vets is that they could care less if a kitten is put down. Many times I refused when a vet wanted to put down my cats. But I prevailed by curing them myself. Alternative medicine is much better than the mainstream racket vets are involved in. Another business to say the least. Nobody loves pets more than you love your own. And its why its important to learn how to solve problems yourself. If you had done that more effectively, the kitten would probably still be here.
