Vet reprimanded for home care of ‘happy’ cat she was told to euthanise

Janine Parody billed surprised owner 500 for treatment of eight-month-old cat she could not bear to put down

An experienced vet has been reprimanded for taking home a patient's cat that she was told to euthanise and charging nearly 500 for the animal's care in Suffolk.

Janine Parody decided against putting down the ill eight-month-old feline named Shadow in 2021 and, contrary to the owner's wishes, treated him.
