My boy suffered

My poor cat, Garfield, had to be put down today. He had Cancer on his right Thyroid.

When Dave arrived all was good. But it was not, for Garfield. It took 3, THREE, lots of sedation to sedate my boy over the span of 30 minutes. The second time, Garfield was still able to fight and Dave wasn't able to administer the full dose.
I feel so guilty putting my boy through this terrible ordeal at the end of his loving, peacefull, and housebound life. He knew nothing but terror at the end and I'll forever feel the guilt knowing I put him through that. There is no need for a vet to squeeze a pets chest to check for a heartbeat, nor to touch their eyeballs to make sure they're gone. That was never done to Cindy, Simba, Andre, Checkers, Cuddles, and Angel. They just listened for a heartbeat, whilst my babies laid on my chest, and announced that there was none. I knew the moment my boy had passed. Then came the Squeezing of his chest whilst pressing the Stethoscope, and the eye test. There was no dignity in Garfields death. And that kills me so veery much. I'm shattered, devastated and so angry that he went through such a long and terrifing transition. It took just a couple of minutes for all my other babies. Half an hour for Garfield. I hope you're resting peacefully now, my sweet, gentle boy. I miss you so much and will never forgive myself for putting you through this.

The only good thing is that their price is reasonable.

These vets are amazing with the care they give, we have called upon them a few times and could not be happier with the way in which they care for and treat our dogs. Thank you for all you do Macarthur

On recommendations from this site I contacted Macarthur House Call Vets to examine my dear seventeen year old dog. I can't speak highly enough of Jo and Dave, such a compassionate and caring team and very thorough in their service. So convenient having them come to your home and their fees were very reasonable. Highly recommend them for all local pet owners!

Approximate cost: $120.00 Inc medications

I have known & dealt with these 2 vets for a long time as they worked for my original Vet practice.They are both kind, gentle with the animals & experienced.Always ready to put themselves out for the sake of any animal I thoroughly recommend them & it is great that they treat your animal in its own home where it is more at ease.
