I need your help on a couple things.
First, we have an appt for Saturday morning to take Ollie. Our biggest concern being that he potentially has worms.
The vet we're seeing is known to push unnecessary tests and treatments on unsuspecting clientele. BUT she's a trusted and smart vet. I rather see her than one of the other vets they have there who kind of sugarcoats things and goes about awkwardly on other things.
Tell me WHY I don't want to vaccinte my cat. I know I don't want to, and I've read articles before about it but none of it retained. I cannot simply tell the vet in an uninformed manner that "I don't want vaccines".. He's an indoor cat now. Anything he may have contracted outdoors a month ago is past it's pro-active date.. If he has anything we will have to re-act to it.
Are x-rays and other expensive tests a part of testing for feline leukenia? I want to make sure he's not got that virus mostly bc of his history of being outside. His third eyelids indicate that something isn't right so I want to make sure.
His tummy is gettig bigger and I cannot tell if it's because of his food (free fed) or because of worms or something else. I'm paranoid.
So what do you guys think might happen at the vet? What should I be prepared for when visiting the vet for the frst time with Oliver?
Thanks in advance!
