Not Looking Forward To The Vet 2Morrow... UPDATE pg3

[ohiofarmgirl]

100%" healthy & vet checked then why is he sick ?!

i'm going to go with "they are liars"

sounds like worms or an allergy to whatever it was or is eating.

if your vet is not experienced in rescues (some are not) you may want to contact a rescue organization for their recommendations from everything from the antisocial stuff to what to feed them. i went thru 2 vets b/4 i found mine who taught me everything i needed to know

good luck!​

They only found the animals 2 days before you took ownership.. That isnt enough time for them to say they are healthy.. The diahrea may be stress related.. And the fact that they should probably be on momma a lil longer as well... I think if you signed anything saying that they were garunteed healthy then maybe you are owed some compensation.. Otherwise it is your responsibilty as their new owner to take of it..
Now where they sold or just charged a rehome fee ? I cant imagine selling a rescue animal.. Nor releasing them to someone else after only two days...

The diarhea could also be from the wormer.

All of my animals with the exception of one of my siamese have been rescues. The siamese I got last week is from a humane society. Even our new GSD pup could be considered a rescue, since the guy we got him from paid good money for him and then immediately stuck him in an outdoor kennel where he would have spent his entire life. I only adopt from known sourcces or bona fide rescue organizations; not some hoarder that fancies themselves a rescue.
When I pay the adoption fee (not a "sale price") I realize that money is to pay for the upkeep of the animal up to the point I adopt them and only believe in the vet care that I see in black and white on paper. I adopt them with the understanding that I am accepting full responsibility for that animal from the time I sign on the dotted line. I regard it with the same sense of responsibility I would if I were adopting a human child.
Your little boy could be thin from worming. If he was full of worms, once the worms were removed he could be left quite thin and just need fattening up.
When I got KiKi last week she was extremely thin, even for a siamese. She had been abandoned to raise six kittens on her own, without proper nutrition. I now have her on a high quality kitten food and she is filling out nicely. She also had some diarrhea when we got her from the stress of having her kittens taken from her, being spayed and going to a new home all in the space of two days. As she's grown more comfortable in her forever home her diarrhea is clearing up. She'll start her lifelong relationship with our vet tomorrow, as will the new puppy. It's part of owning any animal.
I also wanted to mention that siamese tend to be drama queens (or kings). Some need lots more attention to feel secure.
So, adopt from legitimate rescues and accept that there may be some problems. They wouldn't be in rescue if there weren't issues. Being a rescue in and of itself is an issue.
I couldn't love KiKi anymore if I had paid $400 for her as I did my breeder quality siamese.
Good luck!

Sorry for the double post. My internet connection is being a pain.

Well, I didnt sing anything but i have paperwork from the vet she says she took them to stating that the kittens are free of any & all diseases & that they have their shots. But when I called the vet, they had no records for these little guys & said that the woman actually worked there. Both of the papers I got are the same - same kitten ID #, same color markings (black &white) & neither one are black & white or even close. When I talked to her again & stated to her that they didnt have any records for them, she said that they just did her a favor by seeing them. But the day we picked them up, she made a comment that she wishes the vet office would give you a break on the price for strays... I fully & completely understand that a pet is a big responsibility - ive rescued & adopted many cats/kittens. I dont have a problem giving them the care they need. I just don tunderstand why she would say that they are healthy. The skinny kitty is not skinny from worms - he is SEVERELY emaciated. his bones pertrude & he reminds me of a kitten on the Animal Cops shows. Where as the other one is fat, active, playful & happy. I paid an "adoption fee" of $30 each so a total of $60 for the two of them. Then spent about $150+ on their toys, litter, food, etc.. The appointment today is at 3pm so I guess we'll see then !!

I think you should show the vet paperwork to the vet so that he/she can see that the lady (his/her employee) is making false documents. Keep us updated on what the vet says about the kittens!

Agree. Falsifying documentation is a big deal in all medical fields, including veterinary.
