Anyway,
Sammy is at the vet overnight tonight and she's having some tests done.
Hope all goes well.
Thanks again.
Matt

I hope all goes well, too, and the tests aren't too hard on your wallet.
Please let us know how it goes.

have been to a vet in the past that actually had separate entrance and
waiting
areas for dogs and cats.

A good idea! That shows a vet that's concerned about keeping his/her feline
clientele. IMO, the clinic I mentioned has more of a dog orientation. Aside
from the tiny waiting room intermingling dogs and cats at close quarters, the
senior vet had pictures of his dogs on the walls, and he was really into doing
tests on our cat for heartworm--and while some of what he told us about
heartworm disease in cats was accurate, some of it was wrong and applied to
dogs, not cats. Also, when I asked to go back and say goodby to our cat when
she was about to be spayed, I found that the cats and dogs were both caged in
the same area. So you'd have sick cats in small cages right over top the large
dog cages, where the dogs would be barking. Enough to terrify any sick cat.

My own opinion is that if a vet seems more interested in dog care than in cats,
I'd rather go to one that specializes in cats. I don't want to feel our cats
are second class patients, and I'm sure such clinics alienate many cat owners.
On the other hand, I don't know whether there are dogs only clinics, for the
vets that prefer to treat just dogs. Anyone know?

I smell a troll.

The vehemence of the replies, combined with the lovely language,
sure
makes me think it, anyway.

Kaeli--I think he is just a hothead, and a bit of a bonehead on top of
it.


Possibly. *EG*

Rather endearing, at least in small doses. Sometimes people who will
prove to be good contributors to a group stumble in kind of ,,, errr
,,, AWKWARDLY, shall we say.


Hey, I didn't say I wasn't finding it amusing.
Aside from the fact that the poor kitty was suffering, of course. Seems
like he went off to the vet where he needed to be, though, so...

I, for one, welcome our foul-mouthed, overly-sensitive, troll-like
contributor overlords.

I went back & read through the replies to the OP's first post, & honestly
did not find judgmental replies.

The balance of your post, I agree with.

When you first posted, I read the first line of your post and then ignored
it as troll bait.

After seeing this one, I went back and checked the first one. Yes, you
did
get a lot of judgment heaped on your head, but most of the calmer replies
concurred: it could be anything, and you need to seek out a better vet,
or
go back to the first one and be more aggressive in your demands.

It's impossible to diagnose on the internet, and the symptoms you
described
are so general as to be suggestive of any one of thousands of things!

Ya know, If I wanted to be judged, I would have entered a popularity
contest. Perhaps you people could stick to answering the posts and keep
your judgements to yourselves, since you probably don't know the entire
story.

If you really want to know, there are probably very few people in the
world
that love cats more than my fiance. She was crying last night because
she
was worried about her cat. I told her I would post on here to see if
someone knew what may be the problem. If you people are that dumb to
think
we aren't going to go for a second opinion, then I guess I thought the
intellect on this board was a little higher. The post was simply a means
to
perhaps comfort her by possibly knowing what may be wrong, not as a
substitute for a second opinion.


So after all the posts, not a single thing addressed my question.
Thanks
for nothin'!
