Vet complaint

Lifan

FIP treatment in cats is in its infancy. My cat had FIP with neurological involvement and this factor was missed by my vet as he hadn't read my cat's previous notes. So he under-dosed my cat. He gave him 15mg/kg, when the recommended dose for neurological involvement is 20mg/kg.
This is the problem, it is only a recommended dose. Anyway, my cat has relapsed and thousands of pounds later, I've realised this issue. And I have raised my concerns with the vet, but their response is inaction. Ignoring my emails and phone calls. Meanwhile, my little cat is dying. 
I have just suggested they re-treat at their cost, while I pay for the extra 5mg/kg which he should have received initially had his notes been read. 
I realise this is negligence, but there is so much uncertainty about this GS-445... treatment. And I don't think you ever win. I really can't afford another £5k to heal my little cat and am at my wit's end. 

I had the same situation as you, but because they didn't give the full dose to my cat, my cat has passed away. May I ask if you were successful in your rights? Thanks.
