RIP Percy! Oh, what a horrific scene to be replayed again for your family. That is so sad that a vet would treat rather than show his ignorance on a diagnosis and be too proud to pass it over to another vet.
Hugs to your family.
Thanks Denise. I have to believe that the money is more important to this vet than the animal or the little girl who owned the pet. As big as an area that we live, near Houston, there are only three vet clinics that specialize in exotic animals in the Houston area, I never looked at guinea pigs as exotic but evidently they are. Might also be why the guinea pigs have a short life expectancy because once they show signs of illness the window of opportunity to treat them is very short from what we have learned.
Well, admittedly, that is a hard row to hoe. I lived in San Antonio for a while and we had the most awesome exotic vet. They are out there, but, never when you need one.
