  I have been taking my 3 cats to Mark for years for minor ailments like fleas, allergies & ID chips. This week... On Monday My tabby, OC, had developed swelling on his left cheek. Most likely from a fight. Though my neighbor saw OC investigating a black snake. On Tuesday The swelling had grown. On Wednesday OC was in pain and was breathing heavy. On Thursday (7-27-17 @ 9:15am) I took OC to Mark Salzburg. OC had a bad infection in his cheek and 107 degree temperature. I asked if the fever was bad. Mark said it was very bad. Mark said he could treat the infection with antibiotics. Also that I should have OC neutered to prevent more fighting. I asked if we should do a surgery with the infection and high temperature. One of his staffers said," it was a quick snip and takes 5 minutes. Mark assured me that this would be routine and I would pick up OC by the end of the day. About noon, I got a call from Mark. His team had done a feline aids test. OC was positive. Mark said my options were - Treating OC - Killing OC or - Giving OC to a home for cats with feline aids. I asked what treating him would cost me. Mark didn't know and said he would have his office staff call me, Immediately. Twenty minutes later I called and a staffer gave me a price of $320 to $355. I said, "for 350 bucks... help my friend". About an hour later Mark called and stated that, "OC had died under anesthesia" Mark gave me several excuses why... 1.) Compromised immune system from Feline aids 2.) More advanced abcess that he tought 3.) Swelling effected OC's breathing more than he thought What happened was - We crossed over the limit of Mark's Education, Knowledge and Experience. My friend paid for that limit with his life. or - He euthanize OC without my consent. I feeI that this is my fault. I trusted Mark's recommendation. I should have known not to put an animal under anesthesia with an advanced infection. I will live with that decision for the rest of my life. I miss my friend. Please God... take care of my OC.
