This ragdoll was turned in yesterday at the rescue. She has not been able to breathe from her nose for 4 years, according to the owner who turned her in. Diagnosed with allergies at four different veterinarians, I refused to concede to this diagnosis and saw my primary veterinarian who is a specialist. I cannot believe what they found next. Now she can breathe again. Seeing a cat take their first breath without choking or gagging, is just freaking magnificent. I have no idea how those fit in her nose or how they got them out...or if they will return? Well if they do...just remove them again I suppose. So happy for her...makes it all worth it.

How did those vets miss polyps for THAT LONG? I am thrilled that her owner surrendered her to someone who was willing to find an answer for her, and that she can now breath normally! I'd love to see another picture of her in a month or so. I'll bet she's a different cat, entirely!

Some veterinarians are in it for the money which is sad. I have worked with over twenty veterinarians and there are veterinarians that show up with new golf clubs or a new truck every year, and you go into their office to see rusted cages. Then there are other veterinarians who drive the same vehicle year to year, upgrade their cages and their knowledge. I just do not get it.
