We noticed that our 5 year old female cat beginning to lose weight then not eating or drinking & vomited in her litter pan. We called Old Forge animal hospital on 4/15/2023 & they said to bring her right down. They gave her 2 shots & sent us home with 3 cans of prescription digestive cat food charging us $820.00 on our credit card. We were giving her water by syringe & the food also as advised as she still was not eating or drinking. we called them 5 days later telling them this, again they said to bring her right down took an X-Ray stating to us that there was a large dark area that was an infection saying that she must have eaten something very toxic? We could not figure what that could have been. They told us that they would hook her up to intervenus for 4 days (this was Tuesday),at a cost of $3000 but if we paid cash charge would be $2,600.00 cash. We picked her up on Saturday morning them telling us the infection was gone, all of her levels on the blood work were normal injected her with 2 more shots & said that she was drinking & licking the juice off the prescription canned cat food. They said to give her anything that she wanted to eat. We took her home & she was very frail & not moving around as she was before. We took her home setting up a smorgasbord of food & she still would not eat, She had the urge to drink & would lay her head on the pet water fountain with her chin touching the water but could not drink the water. We began to give her water by syringe. On Tuesday 4/25/2023 we texted OF animal hospital telling them & they texted back saying to stop giving water by syringe & give Pedialite instead for energy also saying to give her baby food (chicken stage 1) by syringe. she vomited the baby food up & we called them telling them this. They told us to bring her back down & they would hook her back up for another 4 days @ the same cost of $2,600.00 cash. We asked what percentage that this would save her life. They told us 1%. We called other vets asking for a second opinion & finally got a vet @ Abington to take her in on the following day @ 9:30 AM. She vomited in her litter pan that night & passes away @ 8:30 Am Thursday before we could get her up to Abington. we believe that they misdiagnosed her & could have told us ,if they did not know what was wrong with her so that we could have gone to somewhere else sooner & possibly saved her life. We found out later that pedialite contains zinc & is very toxic to cats (not to administer under any circumstance). Sure enough on the bottle stated it contains 25% zinc.
We have had her for 5 years & loved her very much. We are heartbroken as everywhere that we look in our home we see her as she loved us as much & trusted us. We feel that we let her down & she should not have suffered the way that she did. We are telling this to let unsuspecting people that are thinking about bringing your pet to Old Forge animal hospital not to do it. Make an appointment to get in with a reputable vet that can give a truthful diagnosis.

We found out too late However, (Pedialyte due to a change in their formula, it is imperative that you do not under any circumstances give your cats or kittens Pedialyte anymore! Recently the Pedialyte company started adding zinc to the Pedialyte and zinc is extremely toxic to cats and kittens and will actually make them even sicker).

End of story they had us kill our beloved Luna by our own hand.
I hope they rot in HELL

I always found Dr. Gad & Mrs. Gad to be kind people. I brought my dog in many years ago and it was found to have an enlarged heart. No medicine was prescribed and at that time, it didnt occur to me to ask. The dog simply died a few months afterwards and it happened quickly.
