Rule of thumb about any vet: makes you feel uncomfortable for ANY reason? Find another vet. Take it from 35+ years of dealing with vets (not to mention, studying to become one). It's true of any profession, DVMs, MDs, lawyers, plumbers, whoever. As for entropion surgery, I didn't know it...

So, ArtNJ, the previous commenter was concerned about being too "blunt," but the reply was in fact quite fair. So, permit *me* to be blunt, instead: do you have a therapist? I can identify with your obsessive worry about this cat, and all that crying😢, and from personal experience, I can assure...

Just as a general comment, I am not certain that age is truly a bar to surgery, I think it really depends on the animal and whether the vet is comfortable with a bit extra monitoring. However, personally, it doesn't sound like surgery is called for here. I'll share a parallel story of dilemma I...

You are all so kind! I'm so glad I joined! :bouquet: I want to reply individually with my thanks, but here I am again at 5AM, up all night, fretting. I will have to return when rested. Staying up all night is not the best way to cope, but, I haven't found something better! My boyfriend told...

Have you considered traveling abroad? We've driven 8 hours up to Ottawa Ontario Canada three times since the beginning of August, first to have a tumor removed from a cat's jaw and a titanium prosthesis implanted, then twice more when the stitches didn't hold. I found the Ottawa onco-surgeon (I...

I just wanted to come back and see if there was anything I could add. Glad to see you are getting excellent responses! One of the ways I go about finding a specialist is looking up published research in the U.S. National Library of Medicine online at pubmed.com. I just visited the site and...

Beautiful cat, all that white fur!!! And what a wonderful purrsonality you describe! Specialist sounds like a 100% jerk (can I use that word without being banned? IDK. I just joined thecatsite a few minutes ago after lurking for years). You can do much, much better! I would guess you can take...
