Miles needs Pet talk Prayers Update on miles

[sandragonfly]

kuhio, with lizzie and me, there should be enough for tonight. await of your check should be okay - but if ever need your help too tonight, I will contact you right away - I will have my pager with me and I can PM you from it. just stay online (if you can) around 6:30 - 7PM and keep an eye out? I just don't want to flood up the vet hospital yet. (anyone wants the vet name and number can be PMed by me) -

we now are going out to see vet for a confirmed diagnose and an estimate IMOM is waiting for. we'll be back with an update, hopefully better than what I thought!

bye for now.

the bad news is 3x worse.

I'm here at the vet, waiting for miles to finish his xray with better views. he was moving too much because he's in very painful pain, and are going to sedate him a bit so he can relax better. . .poor my little guy. while the vet came back, (asked if he could sedate) told me he possibly would need either a plate or intramedollary pin. and that's $1,000 extra than I thought. the more cost is, the more how painful he is.

however, two best things have happened here, miles even purred and gave happy feet for so long!! I've never saw him doing that on table. it took a while for the vet to listen his heartbeats, he was purring too loud, louder than usual! it broke my break but at the same time, joyful tears! second, oh my, a litttle miracle! after all I've been in hospitals/doctors myself, with their lousy service, them not providing an interpreter at all, so no effective communication, understanding, etc. well, miles's doctor called another doctor just in a second and I never knew she's deaf too! believe me, this appointment have went 4x faster than communicating (writing, writing and writing) on papers, asking questions and answers. it's soooo good to be able to 'speak' my language in for so long! - wow, did not realize my signing have been out of shape! funny, she said she didn't came here for work, only to bring in her dog for a bath, guess it was meant for me and my dear little boy! also, am already impressed with their service, attitudes so I think I'll stick with this one!

miles still is not back yet, I'm waiting still. I hate to wonder how's he doing in another room.. please continue the good thoughts that things will just go smoothly for him!

p.s. kuhio, our PMs - he'll need to have his surgery at specialist, not here.. sorry.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts out to precious Miles and major ((((((HUGS)))))) for you Gina.

That must have been wonderful, being able to communicate with someone quickly when you were in a stressful situation. I was thinking about you being at the vet and wondering if they had someone who could sign - serendipidity when you least expected it!

I am sorry about Miles, though, but at least you are working with people who are knowledgeable and efficient. Is Miles having to stay at the vet's overnight? I hate it at the emergency vet's when they take one of my cats away into another area. My own vet knows me so well that I've often been allowed to hold one of my cats for treatment, something that makes both me and my cat feel better.

Keep us updated, everyone is concerned for you both.

Many hugs for you and prayers for Miles. I think it was awesome that you were able to communicate with another deaf vet to help to find out the best way to fix Miles.

Gina is having to take Miles to an emergancy clinic (pray for her shes so upset she keeps getting lost) It looks as if Miles will have to have an amputaion that or PTS and to Gina that is not an option. Her side kick isn't letting her get on so shes been updateing me and asked me to update you all.

[rg_girlca]

Poor, poor dear Gina. I can only imagine how devastating this must be for her. My heart goes out to her.

Prayers and positive thoughts still on the way.

[Lizzie]

Gina is really going through hell today. I called the vet before her appointment with them and gave them all my credit card information they requested, thinking that at least Gina would have less to worry about in that regard and I just heard in a pm from Gina that they have no record of my call. Now they are closed and Gina is driving around in a car that is threatening to break down, trying to find the specialty center and worried sick about Miles. Isn't there anyone on PetTalk who lives close to her?

Isn't there anyone on PetTalk who lives close to her?

1) WHERE IS she - City & State???

2) WHERE is she trying to GO - WHAT Vets Office / Emergency Center - NAME, Address & Phone #

3) WHAT is wrong with Miles and what needs to be done for him?

4) HOW are you folks communicating with Gina -
and WHY can't we communicate in real time instead of having 2 hour delays?

Mles her cat needs to have an amputation due to broken leg. shes in New york I have her side kick addy I'm keeping in contact as i can it seems to be a delay in receving. Gina is deaf and has only the side kick touse now it is not allowing her to access Pet talk for some reason . but I can get through but if shes driving she can't answer. I don't know that vets # and don't knoew the surjury vet either but Lv4dogs ids colse I have emailed her as she also has the sidekick addy .
I think prayewrs are the best help right now .Thanks

[Catty1]

Gina lives in California...oh dear God - I wish she could flag down a cop to help her! She just moved there....OMG

[Corinna]

No she has moved to New york so really knows no one but I have sent email to Sue she knows her and trusts her . Hoping she gets a hold of her soon.
She wouldn't flag down any one as being deaf she has a terrible time communicating with them and it has almost always turned bad for her.

[Lizzie]

The vet she saw late this afternoon is:
Animal Hospital of Pittsford - (585) 271-7700.

I don't know the name of the emergency vet she is trying to reach. I live on the other side of the country, so all I can do is pm her that I'll help all I can. I have given her my home phone number in case the emergency vet asks for a credit card, they always do. She's pm'ing me back within an hour of my sending her a message which is better than the earlier delays. She's now talking about either amputation or euthanasia whereas before she seemed a bit more positive. That may be because the second round of x-rays were worse than the initial ones. She does need to feel that she has lots of support.
