One last thing....if you had your cat treated in Boston...it is a 1-2 hour bus trip to Connecticut (depending upon where you are going).
I understand. But I mean, at least having it down before Christmas instead of waiting until January. I'm sure he'll be fine until then but I just don't like waiting on health things since I don't know what's going on internally.Once treated please remember she won't be 'cured' for a few months. It takes awhile for their body to even out from the thyroid tumor. Think of her recovery more like a roller coaster than a steady up down and you'll be ok.
if your cousin is close to one of those CT locations you'll save alot on hotel $$. Make sure you call airlines and check how a radioactive cat will travel....i'm sure with paperwork from the I-131 place you will be okay. (Make sure you get that paperwork!)
Why should you put and keep him in a cage?Should I invest in one of these for Felix for when he gets out from the I-131?
I do hope everything is sorted before Christmas, that would be the best present you could give Felix!Mom is saying she might be able to find someone who can drive us into Michigan for Felix. Hoping whoever it is can drive us there since she can't do it herself. The other clinics are taking too long and I don't want to wait on this. The clinic in Michigan is the only one that gave us sure dates.
What kind of people are working at those front desks?Doesn't seem like we're going to have this done until January. I called the clinic in Michigan and the receptionist wasn't very nice. She asked where I was calling from and I said, "Ontario". Then she sort of chuckled and asked, "You do know we're in Michigan, right?" Then she asked if anywhere closer to me could do it and I just didn't like her tone.
What kind of answer is this?Her: *Chuckle* You do know we're in Michigan right? Don't you have somewhere closer to you that could do it?
Exactly! I'm scratching my head here. She made it seem like I'm silly for wanting to seek treatment that far yet they have treated cats in Ontario and other places not close by... I don't understand. She isn't even the one that is in charge of the appointments so how do I know what she is saying is true? I hope she leaves later in the day and I can speak to someone else. Based on this clinic's reviews, I was not expecting her attitude.What kind of answer is this?
Of course you know they're in Michigan, you also had to dial an international phone code!
I say, if I'm calling you is because I have nobody closer, right?
Do you think that people in Michigan feel superior to Canadians?
I live in Italy, over here we have NO facilities for I-131, but we do have lots of facilities all over Europe. I went to Belgium, I picked that clinic because they didn't need a referral.
Well, on the day I was there for the treatment, I met people from other parts of Europe, from countries where they do have radio-iodine facilities. Those people picked that clinic for the lower cost of the treatment.
I am sure that nobody at the reception asked them "why didn't go to a clinic in Germany?".
