I got Limerick a collar from Tagxpress.com a few days ago. i wanted a collar as a "just in case he gets outside" sort of thing. Last night I went out with some friends, got back this morning to find he had gotten the collar caught aroud his lower jaw!!!!! He was bleeding and was having trouble breathing!!
I was frantic, I was going to cut it off myself but it's wire collar. I put him in his carrier and headed out to the car, but I had a flat tire, I ran back into my apartment called my boyfriend who rushed over. I called the vet to let them know we were coming. Thankfully the vet is just down the road. Of course we hit every stop light there.
We finally got there and they took him back, cut off the collar and checked him out. Thankfully his teeth and jaw are not broken. He has small gashes on his cheeks from the collar and scratching at it, most likely. They gave him something for the sweling. He's been sleeping... my poor baby!!!!!!
He's ok, he's eating and purring. Loveing the attention he's getting, me, not so well. I feel HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While I was out having fun, my poor kitten got hurt. He must of been soo scared!!!!!! I knew something was wrong when he didn't come running up to the door to greet me!!!
I called the company where I got the collar and told them about it. All I want is my money back, and them to pay a portion of the vet bill. I'm planing on sending them pictures to show them what their product did to him. They basicly said "so what, not our problem."
So yeah I'm PISSED OFF!!!! How could a compay who seems so devoted to pets, not care when there products hurts one!!!! NEVER BUY FROM TAGXPRESS.COM!!!!!
