Positive thoughts for Haggis:hyperthyroid+tongue lesion

I am so happy for you and for Hammish! Spoil that boy for me when he gets home!

Sounds to me like you should change vets. I wouldn't want a vet who once gave my cat a death sentence, which proved wrong, and then couldn't be bothered to check on him when he is very sick.

Critical but improving, well, that's something anyhow. We'll keep the prayers going that he'll continue to improve and be home w/you where he belongs. Better and better.....

Some good news- Hamish ate some food overnight! Whew. He remained out of the oxygen cage all night too. They are going to review blood gases and his lungs again this afternoon and they think he can come home tonight.

Yay!

I think I might switch vets after this. You're right- after Haggis' prognosis and no call after this makes me wonder about the office a bit. Kitties hate the ride to the vet and they are a half hour away. I continued as a client after the first dr. (Dr.Dave) retired. He was awesome-his replacement is okay but doesn't have the same sensibilities. The new vet is just up the street and obviously has a big heart. I sent them a thank you bouquet today...

How can you say thank you enough for what they did?!?!

If anyone has a scary emergency situation in the Seattle area-here is where Hamish is. His dr. is Dr. Hsu

You can say "thank you" by making this caring man your official vet. Get you vet records for both boys transferrred to this office asap!

He's eaten a jar of baby food so far and is sleeping in my lap now. He's happy to be home. Haggis is apprehensive and growly.

We are going to switch vets- no doubt about it. The drs. at the hospital even commented on him stopping by to check on Hamish. I count us lucky for all the great people we met during this.

Okay. Time for bed. Thank you again everyone for the shoulder and prayers.

Yikes. What a week. Hamish had another attack Tuesday night. We rushed him to the emergency vet and he was there till today. He is now on Lasix and beta-blockers for his heart. So far so good. Fingers crossed.
