RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 01/25/18> Compassion or Investment ? You make the call….
This is really tricky territory... I'm wary of doctors, generally speaking, and when it comes to pets in particular I've done enough wild animal care in my life to know what I can fix and what needs a vet. So fortunately, whenever I do have to go to the vet with Dunebug (the 20 something year old cat) I can quickly tell if the vet is someone who's in it for the cash or in it for the animals.
Unfortunately it comes down to experience, and not everyone has the same extent of animal medical knowledge as I do. Based on what you've written I'd say it's time to shop around for a different vet...
i am sorry to hear about your frustrations with this!
Thanks @derosnec. I have a good knowledge when it comes to horses & cows as far as sickness and doctoring, and not any when it comes to small animals. Also pretty good at reading people but I wasn't with them at the vets office, we surely won't be going back to the first vet. Sound like your cat has been with you for quite a while, the longest cat that we had lived 15 years. He was jet black, not a white hair on his body, we named him The Ace of Spades, & Acer for short.
haha cute! Yeah he moved in with us about 10 years ago from being basically left out in the alley by some not-so-nice people... when we learned of his history we decided to keep him and we fixed him right up. He's the sweetest ol' man ever, I hope he sticks around for a little while longer.
I am sure he appreciates the change from being the alley cat to the good life.
