We arrived in Tasmania last year and searched for a good vet to take over the care of our very sick cat. The vets here promised us good palliative care when the time came. Danny deteriorated and on April 8th I cancelled a follow up appointment knowing Danny was dying.Danny had been taking tramadol, an S8 analgesia for a long time and the day he died I had to beg and plead with the vet to give us temgesic liquid (an S8) as Danny could not swallow anymore and was in pain. Euthanasia was not a good option for us as we practise Buddhism. Eventually the vet ordered some temgesic and Danny died peacefully at home that same night. The following day when we were at the crematorium with his body the vet practice texted to remind us of his appointment ! Very poor communication and extra pain caused in an already excruciating time for us. May Danny now rest in peace and not have to rely upon us for support.
