the Cost of Routine Pet Care

My cat wasn't acting himself and so I took him to a nationwide vet and I waited to see the doctor. After an hour of waiting I was finally seen. I was shown a video on pet care (yea like any responsible pet owner wants to see that) and then introduced by the doctor. The doctor asked me how the cat was and I told him/her that the cat was not eating well, it was depressed, it wasn't playing like it usually was. He then gave me the answer, "I can't get inside a cat's head" and charged me for a physical pet exam (which is what I didn't come in for)...I came in to find out what my cat can be depressed out or upset. Why the abnormal change in behavior. Regardless I paid the fee anyway. Upset that it was an unnecessary trip.

The service wasn't bad just the vet. Why would he charge me to tell me he can't get in a cat's head? he didn't do a through exam for the cat and he just patted the cat on the head and said "okay that's for the money" type of attitude.

WHY OH WHY do they let people like this in practice?? I could have saved myself money and time if I was to known this was to happen! I can tell you I guess I have to examine my cat more closely and what I did to cure my own problem?...I bought a kitten for my cat to play with! Now there is a way to ease one problem he was having. He wanted a playmate/buddy. On top of that I have 2 joys in my life! :)
