Poor Angel :(

[catnapper]

I'm taking BOTH girls tomorrow. They'll have to deal with it. And trust me, they WILL be seeing both girls. Even if they squeeze Minette in with the bad vet -- all she needs are routine shots. How can she mess that up?

One of the contacts says I should have taken her YESTERDAY... I TRIED, but they couldn't fit me in. I TOLD the hospital that I thought it was broken and they ignored me. Once again, Angel and I have been given bad veterinary care because they don't see the urgency. The vets & assistants are not listening to me.

I feel AWFUL. I feel GUILTY. I feel MISTREATED.

We will give them the benefit of the doubt, SOMTIMES there really is no room left (time-wise).

Good luck tomorrow.

Oh Kim, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!!!! Please DO NOT feel awful or guilty. MISTREATED from the stupid idiotic vet that you have to deal with, YES.

My heart goes out to you and I pray that precious Angel gets the proper help that she needs.

I'm glad that you decided to take her in tomorrow with Minette. I don't see how they can refuse to see her. Afterall, aren't vets suppose to look out for the welfare of animals???????

((((((((HUGS)))))))) for you Kim and chin up girl, everything will fall into place sooner or later and I pray sooner rather than later.

I'd file a complaint with the state veterinary board. You can do it annoymously They will check things out.
That is out and right neglect and stupidity on this clinics part for ignoring their clients.

I agree.

A broken limb is an EMERGENCY! She should take priority over cats coming in for routine shots, and nail trims! I would just show up with both Angel & Minette and tell them to look at them between clients if I were you. I do this all the time at my vets, and have needed to fly over when there have been emergencies..and yes, unannounced! They have an office full of people, but when I have animals injured and screaming, the other people can wait..and should accept that! Letting Angel suffer is a darn good reason to report this clinic! Take them both in, and insist they see Angel!

I don't understand these foster people. Maybe they need to be looked into how they run their business. Good grief you've tried everything with them!

[CalliesMom]

I too don't understand how they would refuse to take a kitty if it's leg is broken. However, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT Kim and you should not feel guilty. You have done nothing but the best for these kitties (((HUGS)))

[catnapper]

Well, Minette, Angel and I walked into the vet. They looked at Minette who was pronounced to be in perfect health and they kept Angel. I am waiting to hear what the verdict is on her leg. I am still wondering WHY they didn't squeeze Angel in right then and there, but I am too glad they're going to look at her some time this morning as an opening comes about.

Silly Angel, I had given her the medicine for campy this morning (which she HATES) and she hid. I couldn't find her when it came time to go into the carrier. So what does a desperate meowmie do? Opens a can of wet food. She appeared out of nowhere FAST!

[lizbud]

I'm glad to hear that she's at the Vets office. I do hope they can check her leg out soon & give you some info.Hope it's not
broken, but I don't think she'd be acting so alert & hungry if it
was. Hope you get so good news pretty soon.

ps. Don't feel guilty, or mistreated. Stressed maybe,

[jazzcat]

I hope you get some good news about Angel. Poor little girl deserves to be healthy and start her new life with her sister's and new family.

I took Angel to VCA this morning and left her there. Dr. S just called and said the leg is NOT broken, however there are some things that cause her concern. She will have Dr. K look at the Xrays when he comes in on Monday, but she feels Angel needs to see an Orthopaedic vet to determine whats really going on with ther leg. She notices that the Ulna (or was it radius?) is bowing, and that there is calicifcation at the top of the Radius (or was it ulna?) that MIGHT have closed off her growth plate. If thats the case, then we'll have some major issues with her leg because the bone cannot grow into the groth plate, and will cause much worse bowing than we currently have. She did mention that it wasn't set straight, so thats why we have the bowing we have now. POOR ANGEL!

She is going to splint Angel's leg and I'll pick her up this afternoon. She is also going to be on prednizone to help with the inflamation.

I feel like crying for this poor little girl! What gets me the most, is this might scare off her new family. They were visibly upset when she ignored them the other day. I don't know if they are going to want to wait for us to finally figure out whats going on with her leg. Then will they be able to deal with the medication she might need? Sigh. Maybe she's meant to stay with me as a foster forever (bwahahahahaha)

Catnapper,

{{{HUGS}}} Just wait till the Ortho Vet has a look at her.
Thay can work miracles sometimes.

I've thought this very thing for quite some time now - - remember, Flutter needs a friend her own size.

[prechrswife]

Poor baby. I hope the vets can get to the bottom of what's going on with her leg, and that Angel will feel better very soon.
