Great response everyone,thank you!
Over the years I've known my friend,he was always in awe over the vet he once had(the surcharge vet)but his hospital beeing further away and no car,he had been seeing another vet,who was closer.
When Junior kept on coughing,I suggested I'd drive him to his former vet,whom in the past had taken care of all his cats and parrots.
What bothers me the most,is that now my friends distrust in vets has been further reinforced
I changed vet myself and am very happy with him,he has a 3-yr policy for rabies-vaccine and when I opted out of vaccine for Rocky this year(he has HyperT)he certainly did not charge me.
Junior is now on prescribed Prednisone,I was told he is a little listless and sleepy,but my friend will continue the Pred for the prescribed period,then we'll see what happens.
I feel really bad,I was the one who suggested going to this vet whom he liked very much before.
