Hi,
I don't blame you for not being happy about the way things went at the vet's. Patients and clients both deserve more than a few minutes of the doctor's time. Especially when the patient is a senior pet who has not been to a vet for a long time. Sound like this doctor has very poor bedside manner.
In my opinion your baby should not have been vaccinated. She may have health issues and vaccines should only be given to healthy animals. There is no real reason to vaccinate a senior animal anyway. The money could have been better spent by testing for feline leukemia.
Feline leukemia is a contagious virus in cats and there is a specific test run for it. The virus doesn't show up in regular bloodwork. Because it is contagious, and fatal, it's always best to test for it before bringing home a new kitty.
Please post again when you get the lab results back.
Regards, PHKitkat
