Again with the fosters!
wrote in message
... It has already been the catalyst for one cat developing fatty liver disease which was completely and totally avoidable. If you can't monitor the foster cats, you shouldn't take them in. If the cat is diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease, I hope you take responsibility for what happened, give it whatever care it needs and bring it back to health. Contrary to your assumption, the cat came to me with a history of refusal to eat. His liver disease had absolutely nothing to do with the free-feeding that satisfies the rest of my cats, fosters and owned alike. As for his diagnosis? Beyond it being a liver problem, and quite severe, nothing further came of it. The staff vet, when asked for her honest opinion, said that fatty liver would be the best-case scenario, require months of rehabilitation, and the only way to know if it even was fatty liver would be a biopsy, which would require surgery, which he wouldn't be likely to wake from. So I made the call, and held him while he was put down. I won't assume that you'll take twisted satisfaction and claim again that it was my fault, but I'll be more than happy to imply it. |
