## Update: Formal Regulatory Complaint Submitted by a Family Physician…read more I am a family physician in Port Elgin, New Brunswick, and currently serve as Division Head for Sackville Family Medicine. After an extensive review of Mimi's medical records, I have filed a formal 115-page complaint with the Nova Scotia Veterinary Medical Association detailing numerous concerns regarding the care provided. Mimi was a 5-month-old Maine Coon kitten who was admitted to Amherst Veterinary Hospital twice. During her first admission, there were repeated recommendations to euthanize her despite what I believed was clinical improvement. I instead brought her home, where she recovered remarkably. Within just one week, she was eating 4-5 cans of food per day, having four bowel movements daily, and had gained 42.3% of her body weight. She later experienced a sudden metabolic collapse that, in my medical opinion, was highly consistent with refeeding syndrome. After she developed metabolic seizures, I immediately requested intravenous magnesium, intravenous calcium, intravenous thiamine, and phosphate replacement. Throughout the entire three days of her second hospitalization, at every interaction I had with the veterinary team, I repeatedly requested that intravenous magnesium and intravenous thiamine be administered. I explained why I believed these treatments were urgently indicated and repeatedly pleaded for them to be given. Those treatments were never administered. Following Mimi's death, I learned that the clinic did not stock emergency intravenous magnesium or intravenous thiamine. I also learned that these medications were not obtained from another facility during her hospitalization. Most concerning, the medical record documents that a request for these medications was not made because of embarrassment. That documentation, together with many other concerns, forms part of my complaint and is now before the Nova Scotia Veterinary Medical Association for review. What concerns me most is this: if I had not been a physician with the medical knowledge to question the recommendations being made, I believe Mimi would likely have been euthanized during her first hospitalization despite subsequently demonstrating a remarkable recovery at home. That possibility should concern every pet owner. Families place enormous trust in veterinary professionals and often do not have the medical background to question recommendations or recognize when additional options may exist. My goal in filing this complaint is not retribution. It is accountability, transparency, and improving patient safety. I hope that no other family has to experience what Mimi and my family went through. The 115-page complaint contains the supporting documentation for the concerns summarized above and is currently under review by the Nova Scotia Veterinary Medical Association.

Took our very sick cat to be euthanized yesterday what a horrifying experience. The initial person…read morethat took us to the room was so nice and understanding. Left us to comfort our cat, Then came the person who euthanized her she didn't even introduce herself, and the roughness with which she handled the cat was appalling. our cat was horrified and balling after several missed attempts at placing the intravenous It terrified our cat and horrified us when all we wanted was a peaceful ending for our girl in the final, minutes. It wasn't the case. I honestly thought that the cat would be sedated prior to the procedure she wasn't, the whole procedure just seemed to be so rushed because it was close to closing. I don't know the vet's name and I understand the veins may have been difficult to find but the forcefulness used at the end will haunt us forever.
