Update on Sam.

[catmandu]

I have had Cats with dental issues , they plaqued Juke Joint Joseph all his life and My Vet never mentioned Covenia.
WE are all praying for Sam to come through his operation , and be healthy and well.

I have no specific advice to give, but we all are saying our prayers and sending along all our best wishes and healing energies for dearest Sam, that you will have the most helpful treatment and feel much better.

Hope that Sam is feeling better soon, and you too, Anne. It's so stressful when our furkids have issues, but can't tell us what's wrong.

And that vet???? - geeze! I'd definitely be wanting to see a different one. That's what I love about the vet I have used for my kids for over 20 years - private practice/one vet only. She actually knows/remembers their issues every time one has to see her. When Myndi passed, she was crushed - Myn was her oldest canine patient at almost 18 years old.

I spoke to a receptionist today and got her to agree to have a different vet call me. It's one that has seen Sam before (in fact two weeks back). I have to use the vet that scheduled the surgery unless this one intervenes. There were more tests that could have been performed in the office.

From what I've read about Horner's syndrome, with cats there is usually an underlying cause. Hence, we need to remove this infection.

I also put out a request for the Cat Clinic in town to respond. It's a vet that treats only felines. For Sam, I might need this.
