  Corinne M. wrote: When was the last time you saw a Vet chase a pet, from room to room, with a syringe? You will never convince me Walsh wasn't under the influence of something.__________Because I filed a Complaint with the BC College of Vets – I learned: 1. She over dosed my cat by huge amounts. 2. She HID HER HANDS under her blanket and injected the final drug into my cat’s heart. 3. Dr. Walsh had no problem lying throughout the Investigation. Big time. __________Walsh and we 3 witnesses were in my living room, for the first sedating shot. That shot failed, My cat meowed and then ran to the Hall. That's it. He did not harm or bite Dr. Walsh. He was no threat._____ This is how she handled it.__________Dr. Walsh told us to stay put and wait for the cat to return. Then suddenly got up, and pursued my cat. She DID NOT ASK FOR OUR CONSENT. _____Now we can't see them. Vets aren't supposed to hide themselves, Dr. Walsh._____She cornered him in the hall. __________We then heard our cat Scream with pain three times = 3 injections. Why 3? Should be 1 injection. If restrained properly._____We heard thudding against the walls. That means movement. My cat tried to get away. That wasn't a fair fight. 8 pounds of cat versus Walsh.____Where was her head?__________We rushed to the hall. About 7 seconds. Walsh was done._____Only when we arrived – did she let my cat go. She got up – off the hall floor._____She then calmly returned to the living room and sat in a corner. She just didn't care. The only thing she said was "he's drunk." Then went quiet.__________That's quite a flip from Passive to Aggressive to Passive. What triggered that? I think that, for whatever reason, she just ran out of patience that day. After all, it was a long weekend. And she did arrive late._________ _________After she let my go, he ran to the living room – away from her. She returned to that room and my cat ran to the kitchen – away from her. My cat's testament to her cruelty. Period._____He then collapsed. Then ran under the table. Then passed out.__________Now Dr Walsh, you did say we would have a range of 5 to 15 minutes to say goodbye, before the final injection. He lasted only 1 minute. Because you overdosed him. By a lot. I held my cat for only three seconds before he passed out.__________What really happened? And DON’T YOU DARE BLAME THE CAT AGAIN.__________Gee, maybe it had something to do with the unusual combo of drugs you gave him. How about the Acevet you chose to use? The drug with the painful sting. My cat was not livestock. I did not pay for cheap drugs._________We were stunned. What just happened?__________I carried my cat from the kitchen and lay him on the couch. No, Dr. Walsh, you did not carry the cat to the living room, and lay him on the couch, all swaddled. You were already seated. I did it. And you were in such a rush - you didn't take the blanket with you. So let's just get that lie out of the way._____Walsh began the final injection(s). To the leg I thought, which is typical. She never stated to me, she would use an unacceptable, alternate method. She DID NOT ASK FOR OUR CONSENT._____Walsh covered my cat from the neck down, and her hands with her trusty blanket._____ My cat passed.__________And Dr. Walsh, why would you make 2 injections into my cat's heart when you can't even see what you're doing? _____________________I wonder if Walsh has been pulling off her Secret Cardiac Injections, for some time. And if so, how many people didn't know. How many of those gave her a 5 star review? _______________The Pentobarbital (final drug) was overdosed by 13 times. I find that disturbing._____To provide justification for her behaviour she advised that she has a Fear of Cat Bites. Can't make this stuff up.__________Then our College of Vets, stated everything she did was “reasonable.” They are as pathetic as Hockey Canada. Protecting their own. To their shame. They sided with the lies and the Vet. Totally ignored the 3 witnesses statements. They didn’t even get the story straight. Beyond bad._______________Before she left, Walsh suggested my cat’s death went well._____Give your head a shake Dr. Walsh. You behaved like a cruel farmhand. You inflicted pain. And left we three witnesses traumatized._____I really do wonder how much you actually remember.__________And BTW, it's our home Dr. Walsh. Not yours. No Guest has the right to commandeer my home. Nor to enter any room that they choose. No Vet in my home should inject drugs into my cat, while hidden, in a most atypical, unacceptable manner – times 2 – when they have no Just Cause for these procedures – and only because it happens to suit their current, erratic mood._____Obviously, Informed Consent means nothing to Walsh. A total of 5 injections and they were all hidden. She did what she felt like doing. This time she got caught.__________Before you hire her, run these drugs my another Vet. _____Age: 14 years of love. Weight: 3.89 K or 8.5 lbs. _____0.75 ml Torbugesic ___0.5ml Alfaxan___0.5ml Acevet25___0.5ml Midazolam, 5mg/ml, 0.5 ml of Narketan, Sandoz. These were all injected in the Hall.__________At the end, 24 mls of Euthanyl (pentobarbital). More than 13 times the recommended dosage for IntraCardiac injections. I find that disturbing. Source: www.drugs.com._____ I'm guessing the trace Sandoz is a soiled syringe._____If my family is not not safe in my own home, then, where are we safe? That's quite a scar Walsh left behind.__________The next time Walsh Walsh wants to deny the above, she can do so in a Provincial Court of Law. Where her lies won't fly.___________Based on my experience, I can only conclude that Dr. Anne Walsh is a low-life Vet. Do not trust her.

  Does anyone know if there is a vet in town that does house calls? And will a vet operate on a 14 year old dog I know it's pretty old to put a dog under? Any advice would be great..

  Karen M. asked:

  **URGENT** THIS CAT IS STILL ALIVE AND IS SUFFERING BADLY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO. IVE CALLED ALL THE NUMBERS FOR PET HOSPITALS AND ALL VETS AREN'T ANSWERING PHONES. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ??? I'm looking for the owner of a black cat in the 4500 block of Lathom road (north port) 4 blocks behind Buy Low. Your cat was hit by a speeding car near my home (4504) and will not survive it's injuries. If you are missing your black cat. It was to dark to tell if it had a collar. Sorry. Please contact me.
