Vacationers in Usedom call for better veterinary care for cat drama

Vacationers in Usedom call for better veterinary care for cat drama

What do you do if the beloved pet suddenly seriously ill and no veterinarian is available? Monika and Gero Völlmar asked themselves this question during their last stay on Usedom. Two years ago, the two had to struggle with similar problems when their cat Lilly suddenly fell ill in Bansin shortly before Gero's birthday. In vain, Gero tried to contact a veterinarian. The only help came from the police in Heringsdorf, which finally gave him the telephone number of the Vorpommern-Greifswald animal rescue, such as "http://www.uckermarkurier.de/regional/mecklenburg-vorpommern/urauften-tierzent-an-katze-lilly--ganze-nacht-3659062" Target = "_ blank"> Uckermarkurier reported.

The animal savior, who arrived at 5:30 a.m., was also unable to reach a veterinarian. Ultimately, a veterinarian who was not listed on the Internet had to redeem Lilly from her suffering. Gero Völlmar, who had this sad experience public, received a lot of approval from other animal owners who had similar difficulties. Participants stated that the accessibility of veterinary emergency services is often problematic, which is a well -known concern in the region.

The Völlmars recently traveled to Bansin again and once again experienced some complications. The 40 square meter accommodation that they had rented did not correspond to the pictures presented on the Internet and was overcrowded with furniture. To make matters worse, the heating and the hot water also failed, so that they could only receive a small compensation of 15 euros. Gero complained about the misleading photos at the rental agency, but the answer remained unsatisfactory. The pictures of the apartment are still visible online and pretend a different reality.

A recent problem is the accessibility of the veterinary emergency service in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Since March 1 of last year, there has been a uniform telephone number for the veterinary on -call duty, but many animal owners report travel times of up to 90 minutes to the nearest veterinarians. Klaus Kraft, the chairman of the Animal Rescue Vorpommern-Greifswald, said that false reports to the standby services are not uncommon and many veterinarians send injuries directly to clinics instead of treating them themselves.
