I took my 8 week old kitten to thamesmead vets for sickness and diarrhoea on the 1st of may to, they told me she had a stage 6 heart murmur and told me she was dangerously dehydrated and needed a drip but couldn’t because of her heart, I was told she needed to be put to sleep. I explained she was playing and ok in her self but they tried scaring me into putting her down still. Despite this I was told she would gasp for breath as she gets older and that her heart wouldn’t cope with having a “massive” hole in her heart . I declined and took her for a second opinion at Easipetcare. They said she has a stage 5 heart murmur that will need more monitoring as she gets older but isn’t dehydrated in the slightest and could go years or even her entire life without an issue at all. Today she is absolutely full of life and totally recovered from her bug and putting the weight back on rapidly. ( added pics of her 4 weeks ago and now ) Honestly you may be a charity but this is absolutely terrible. You almost talked me into letting you kill my kitten. People need to get 2nd opinions before trusting Pdsa if your pet is otherwise fine in herself. Seems it’s easier for them to just kill an animal than treat them in my opinion. Definitely won’t be back. You can take me off the list thanks. UPDATE - I got a heart scan for my kitten. I have added the results to this post- Results say she don’t have a massive hole at all like you tried diagnosing. She has a very small hole, and a very good chance of going her entire life with no issues at all, I’m waiting for a phone call from management as I won’t be letting this drop. Update- she’s now 4 months old, it’s been 2 months since your staff advised I put my healthy kitten down! She’s still thriving and loving life. I am also still waiting for that phone call ?? ( updated a pic of her)
