I live in Canada. A year ago I adopted a cat that I was told was in excellent health only to find that she was incredibly sick (calicivirus, IBD, emaciated, etc). Now she is recovered and is of a healthy weight and has a good quality of life. But, we are seeing a specialist in April for possible stomatitis. The specialist wants us to get previous vet records if possible. The problem? The previous owner won't give us the records. When asked, he said that all past tests and vet visits were fine and that he doesn't need to provide the records. I'm beyond frustrated.
Does anyone know if I can just call the vet offices, explain the situation, and ask for the records? Would they contact the previous owner? He seems a little unstable. The specialist said that he couldn't legally call the previous vet to request the records. I have a contract showing that the cat is mine and that I paid for the cat. I'm really sad. I want my specialist to have all the information and now I'm worried that this previous owner is hiding something.
