Zerbes Meta

I met Ms. Zebras Meta during an "emergency" situation. She was quite matter-of-fact and competent, but when it came to taking an important step like accepting a young male cat for neutering, forget it. She always said, "No, not yet, he's not ready, his testicles aren't the right size yet..." Two months later, still no, "I want to be the size of a sour cherry!" By then he was a good five months old and his testicles were already quite prominent. Well, who says that's the case for all male cats? I've heard that it varies for ALL living beings (even of the same species), and now he's definitely past that stage! We're constantly struggling to be careful what we wear because he's currently soiling everything 😡 Thanks a lot for that! All this waiting is just stressful! 😡😡😡 If you don't know anything about it because you have no experience, then it's just great when the vet lets you in like that. If you don't know because you have no experience with this, then it's really great when the vet just lets you in like that. ************************************ But the absolute kicker is that as soon as you have insurance, the treatment price immediately jumps up by 50%. So what does she think will happen at the end of the year when the budget is used up? But instead of saying, "Well, then we'll go back to normal prices," she says, "You've saved a lot thanks to the insurance..." All in all, she's nice and helpful, but unfortunately, I can no longer recommend her.

Dr. Zerbes is an outstanding veterinarian; she is truly dedicated to the well-being of her animals. Everything she does is very transparent, and she explains everything in great detail. She takes a lot of time for both the animal and its owner. For her, the success of the treatment is paramount, not financial gain. I hope she continues to have her practice for many years to come; she is the best person I can turn to for my animals. I highly recommend this wonderful and compassionate veterinarian. Thank you so much, Dr. Zerbes.

Yesterday, our cat was euthanized by Dr. Zerbes without our knowledge or consent. Unfortunately, our little guy hadn't been doing very well for the past two weeks; he wasn't eating properly and had lost weight. We had just taken him to our regular vet this week for blood work and a stool sample. For the past few days, Thorin had apparently been wandering into the yard of an elderly lady two houses down, and he did so again yesterday morning. Worried, the lady took Thorin and brought him to Dr. Zerbes in Oberbeuren. She knew Thorin had been found as a stray. The vet said there was nothing more that could be done for him and euthanized him. Thorin was tattooed and registered with Tasso. I just can't understand it. Can a vet who receives a stray cat simply euthanize an animal without first trying to find the owner? It would have been a two-minute phone call to Tasso. . . . . . . . . . . Even after that, we weren't contacted. She gave Thorin to the woman, and by chance, the woman was at her door that evening when I was looking for Thorin and asked me who I was looking for. If we hadn't met, we would never have known what happened to Thorin, we wouldn't have been able to say goodbye, and we wouldn't have been able to bring him home. If the animal isn't registered, I understand that the vet would act in the animal's best interests, but he was registered. I know we're not getting him back, but when I imagine how many people out there might spend years hoping that their beloved pet will come home, or that they receive a call from Tasso (the animal registry) saying their pet has been found, even though it's been dead for years and the owner wasn't informed... out of... reluctance? I just can't comprehend it. A final goodbye is simply important for both humans and animals, and she took that away from us. Thorin wasn't able to be released from his suffering surrounded by his loved ones, and I feel so incredibly sorry for our little darling.

Thorin wasn't given peace surrounded by his loved ones, and I feel so incredibly sorry for our little darling. ` ... `Thoin the surviving Thorin was not allowed to be released from his suffering in the company of his loved ones. ``` ````````````````````````````````````````` How can a veterinarian be so heartless?

A complete disappointment… We had to take our cat to this clinic at short notice because our regular vet was closed. Our cat had vomited severely several times since the previous day, was lethargic, had a hot head, and noticeably dilated pupils. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. In our opinion, the cat was not examined thoroughly at all. There was neither a general examination nor a palpation or weighing of the animal. Despite the described symptoms, only two injections were administered. The explanation we were essentially given was that dry food is bad for cats and that the symptoms could therefore be related to it. We find this explanation difficult to accept, as we have kept cats for decades, and the cat in question has eaten dry food and wet food daily her entire life without ever showing similar problems. We are particularly concerned that the cat was not weighed before receiving the injections. After the visit, she was noticeably more lethargic than before, which further worried us. The entire appointment lasted an estimated 5 to 7 minutes. We were charged around €45 for two injections without any apparent thorough examination. Especially with an animal exhibiting acute symptoms, we would have expected a much more careful examination, a comprehensible diagnosis, and more detailed advice. Unfortunately, we didn't feel that our cat's complaints were taken seriously enough.
