    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    Thank you Meelasmom for your wise words. While I'm so glad I searched for and found a new clinic with people who genuinely care, I've been struggling with whether or not to write a scathing letter to the vet. and clinic that basically told me to get ready to euthanize my little girl. I'm sure...

    Veterinary Clinics

    I wanted to pass along a recent experience to all regarding vet. clinics; My older kitty, Queenie was initially mis-diagnosed with a respiratory infection which she's had before. This from a felines-only clinic with four dr.'s that had seen both of mine for the 11 years since I adopted them...

    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    I'm going to bow out of this thread now that my little Queenie appears as if she'll be with me for awhile longer now and John needs all the support and understanding he can find. I appreciate everyone's kind wishes and words over these past few weeks of stress and anxiety. It's stressful...

    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    Queenie was at the critical care clinic this past Wednesday at 7A. They called about 1P to let me know she had come through her CT-RHINO and the other procedures her new Dr. performed in great shape. I felt as if a 1000Lbs weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I got her home about 6P. She...

    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    I'm a good dad ! While I'm apprehensive about the anesthesia, I trust the internist DVM and her nurse to take good care and ease Queenie's breathing. I plan to stay at the clinic until she wakes up and we know she's alright. Fortunately I work from home so I can be with her all day Thursday to...

    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    All very good suggestions. There's no teaching hospital here so I did the next best thing - I took Queenie to a critical care facility which has specialists in all disciplines, including internal medicine and oncology. I was very impressed with the internist and nurse. At no time was I given...

    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    I was told by the vet. it can't be treated. If it can, I'd like to know how. Maybe I should seek a 2nd opinion.

    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    Good days and bad days. Please don't ever let me take the good one's for granted. Please ease the pain that comes with the bad. Every evening for the past few weeks, Queenie crawls up in my lap and lays on one of her favorite blankets. She rarely did that before, now she looks forward to it...

    I Could Use Some Moral Support

    Hello John and all here; My name is Steve. I'd like to offer some of that moral support you've asked for. Like you, I'm facing the loss of one of my kitty's, her name is Queenie. What was first thought to be a respiratory infection is now looking more like a cancerous tumor in one of her...

    Hairballs And Weight

    Sorry I've been absent for so long. Been busy, sick and busy! Took Queenie for her follow-up last week. She's doing fine and has gained 1/2Lb and isn't vomiting as much. Her doc put her on prednisone daily now. She doesn't like it much but I think it helps. SO happy and thankful she's back...

    Hairballs And Weight

    Thanks very much for the concern. Both have Royal Canin HP50 kibble out all the time. At dinner every day they each get one packet of Sheba, although since it's turned cold, now they each get two. These are the double packs which split part. I try to give them as much variety as possible...

    Hairballs And Weight

    I have two furbugs I adopted 11 years ago. They're my immediate family. Fortunately I have a cat's only hospital close by to which I took my older kitty just before Thanksgiving. She had a respiratory infection. Her doc loaded us up with mucho medicine and she's doing much better but is...
