Reflecting on the last moments of my pet’s life, I regret not following my initial instinct to focus on her happiness rather than solely on her health. Due to her age and condition, I didn’t believe she could withstand surgery or chemotherapy. However, the series of recommended tests gave me a false sense of hope. A heavy weight of guilt makes me feel that I would have made a terrible mistake if I did not follow the doctor’s recommendations. And so, I placed all the hopes and responsibilities onto the doctor.
Fast forward one month, my pet passed away on January 1, 2024. Her life was sustained by medications, a fentanyl patch, and syringe feed solutions during her last moments. None of the tests provided a clear diagnosis; it felt like I was funding a case study rather than finding answers. There was only deduction based on hypotheses and interpretations, lacking solid evidence to pinpoint what exactly went wrong.
To fellow pet owners, I urge you to listen to your instincts and follow your heart. Make decisions that you believe will bring happiness to your pet before they leave. Don’t let guilt cloud your judgment, leading to potentially regrettable choices. Additionally, don’t hesitate to inquire about prices and discuss the best treatment plan with the vet. If you feel the proposed treatment doesn’t align with your plan, express your concerns to the vet or stand by your decision. Be aware that vets may not always be as empathetic and could lean towards methodical/deductive approaches devoid of situational considerations.
Visited ZumVet at AMK today and I loved the minimalistic ambience and the friendly staff. They are patient, kind, loving, not rushed, and take their time to explain things. Harley was really comfortable and looked happy in the clinic! Bring your pet here, they really care!
Dr Christie was the best ! As first time paw-rents she was reassuring and spent time answering our questions. We really appreciated it. She even showed us photos of what an obstructed nose looks like for a frenchie, explained all options available for deworming, printed out info about frenchies and told us what to look out for. We were very impressed and so was Adele ? Adele was very relaxed and enjoyed the experience and she did not realise she was vaccinated. Everyone from back end and front / counter staff were very passionate about their job and it shows ! Came out to explain items when we were asking about them. Great job team ?? we are sadly shifting to Hillview area next year soooo if there are plans to open in the west let us know !
With an app available, It is fuss free when obtaining appointment. Fast respond by them as I received call the next day to confirm my appointment slot.
Team is friendly and showed patience.
They explained things in details
Visted Zumvet today for my puppy’s checkup, the staffs are very friendly and assuring. And the clinic itself is clean and Dr Kong ensures that I left the clinic with no questions.
Visited ZumVet yesterday and was attended by the Vet personnel , Yasmine and also Dr Adriel. They were friendly and patient in explaining procedures and my cat’s condition. Vaccination and deworming were quick although Dr Adriel were so patient and handle my cat with so much care. It was a pleasant visit after all. Would definitely come back to send my cat here again for his next visit. Thankyou so much for attending to our cat, Ollie. 🙂 We appreciate it so muchhh.
