I
brought
my
cat
(Ninja)
in
with
an
infection
on
his
ear.
Dr
Francois
Olivier
who
saw
him
wasn't
sure
what
it
was,
he
said
it
might
be
fungal,
bacterial
or
allergies,
but
didn't
bother
to
take
a
look
at
it
under
a
microscope.
Instead
he
just
shot
him
up
with
antibiotics
and
cortisone
and
sent
him
on
his
way.
At
first
the
infection
started
to
clear
up
and
then
about
2
weeks
later
it
came
back
with
a
vengeance.
I
took
him
to
a
different
vet
who
took
one
look
under
the
microscope
and
confirmed
it
was
fungal
(ringworm).
The
thing
about
ringworm
is
that
antibiotics
and
cortisone
don't
kill
it.
In
fact
they
are
immunosuppressive
which
allows
the
infection
to
get
much
much
worse.
It's
now
almost
2
months
later
and
I'm
still
dealing
with
a
horrific
ringworm
infection
that's
spread
all
over
my
cat's
body
from
head
to
toe
and
won't
clear
up
even
with
oral
antifungal
medication.
If
your
vet
wasn't
so
irresponsible
and
negligent
and
spent
more
than
10
seconds
on
their
diagnosis
this
would
have
been
a
simple
process,
but
instead
you
opted
to
take
the
quick
and
easy
route
and
ended
up
making
it
10X
worse.
You
should
be
ashamed.
The
funny
thing
is
I
had
brought
my
cat
in
there
just
a
week
or
two
before
this
infection
started
and
I
honestly
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
he
picked
it
up
from
one
of
your
tables
or
vets
with
the
way
you
rush
your
patients
in
and
out.
For
anyone
considering
where
to
take
your
fluffy
companion,
if
you're
looking
for
a
vet
that
actually
takes
the
time
to
do
their
job
properly
and
cares
about
the
well-being
of
your
furchild,
do
yourself
a
favour
and
stay
far
clear
of
Stellenbosch
Animal
Hospital.
Edit:
Added
the
doctor's
name.
Edit
2:
I
replied
to
them
below
via
email
but
they
never
bothered
to
respond.
The
ear
flap
where
the
infection
was
was
never
tested,
only
a
sample
of
inside
the
ear
canal
was
tested,
where
there
was
no
infection.
They
don't
appear
to
have
any
answer
to
this.
