Hi Belinda
I am not sure how to tell you to deal with your vet and your anger. I have a
hard time with these issues as well.
I like Junior's vet Dr Staunton. It is just I am not always able to get into
see her. Dr Larrick is a country vet doing what country vets do. He
admistered first aid. He is not vaccination crazy so he does not push them.
I get the feeling for the most part he does not thinkl annual vaccinations
are neccessary. He is a better vet for well visits.
After a week on Baytril Junior's appetite is returning. I had a pet
communicator speak to him the other day and she said he was weak and hollow.
He said his food tasted bland. She did not know I had bought different food
bc I was not where I could get his regular food. Needless to say I went by
Petsmart when I got off work and got his Natural Choice, not in the recall.
He does not like chunks, thank God.
This morning his appetite was back. He got his wet food with supplements and
then went on to eat dry food. Which he has not done for a while. Keep the
prayers and good vibes for Junior as I will do for Fred and all the rest of
our precious cats in need.
Good Luck with the visit.
Sally and Junior

Hi Guys,
I'm really struggling to keep my anger under control. Fred as you know
has not been doing well the last few days and I took him in Tuesday and
found out his blood pressure is sky high again. Well while I was there I
asked the vet if she had checked his tube entry site because for the last
week there have been several occasions when I thought I felt some swelling
again, but at other times I wasn't sure. Well she assured me she had and it
was fine ... last night I was scratching him under his chin and found a huge
lump under there again, NO mistaking it there was something there!!! Well
I guess I know now part of the reason he is feeling so crappy and not
bouncing back.
Those who have read my last few messages about our situation know about us
battling this infection for about a month and a half. They were giving me
clavamox even though the second time it came back he had been on and still
was on it for 2 weeks. I'm so upset and angry I am really going to be
struggling to not go in there and start screaming at everyone!!!!!
*The vet I saw Tuesday obviously flat out lied to me, there is NO way she
could have checked the site like she said and missed that.* Fred has been
miserable more often than not for over a month and a half because of this
infection. He's very depressed now and it's going to make it that much
harder to get him over this now.
I have an appointment at 11:30 just to check his blood pressure, I made it
before I found the lump, but am calling the second they open and telling
them I want to see Dr. Munson the minute she walks in the door, her first
appointment will have to wait, as far as I'm concerned this is an emergency
and this time they are going to get it right!!!!
The lump is three bigger than it has ever been and I know Fred is fed up
and feeling pretty crappy, I hope he can find the fight to get over this
hump, please, please send him prayers for strength and the will to keep
fighting.
My question, how do I go in there and remain sane, rational and control
myself because I just want to go in there and tell everyone how incompetent
I think they are but NOT before we get this infection dealt with and under
control??
Please pray that I can control myself so I can get the care Fred needs.
The vet I'm seeing today is one of two I haven't seen while we have been
dealing with all this so hopefully she will earn my trust and know what the
hell she is doing. Help me guys get my state of mind in a positive frame,
it is going to be really hard this time!
