Halo needs PT prayers

[sasha the cat]

Meeow, I'm praying to Bastet, the Great Cat Goddess asking her to intercede on your behalf.

Yes, I was going to suggest a 2nd opinion as well, but

Instead of waiting for Sept 1, can you get your vet to write a referral to an specialist? A cardiologist or internist?

I'm sure if she's acting fine, there is no problem in seeing the second vet, but when I went through this a couple weeks ago, the second vet issued the referral. Turns out I could have skipped that whole step and went from 1st vet to specialist.

I think the sighting of a tumor warants a specialist.

Positive thoughts and songs for Halo.

That's a good idea, Rosethecopycat. It's quite a while to Sept 1st.

I'm glad Halo is still playing and happy, and hopefully free of discomfort. Kuhio98, You must be beside yourself with worry. Thank you for the links, I've written them in my website reference book under C for cat, for future reference. Good luck and keep us posted with what you decide to do. Best wishes from the TopCats in Sydney.

27000+! Wow! I bet that freaked out the technician running the test. I hope Halo feels better.

Yeah, that third level is quite out of range. But the number of corks at the bottom of the stairs must warm your heart.

All the best for Halo

I'm just now seeing this thread and wish you the best with Halo! I'm so bad about only looking in cat general since my time is so limited here at work on the internet! Best of luck to you & Halo!

I am so sorry to hear about Halo.... poor thing. I am sending lots of prayers and hugs and kisses your way. I hope that the 2nd opinion will be with better news. Keep us posted.

Kuhio98 - you are on my mind and I have said my prayers for you and Halo. Thank you for the updates and I will be sure to check back here to keep up with ya'll.

[NoahsMommy]

I'm so glad to see she's playing with her corks (SOO CUTE!!!) and eating OK.

We're keeping her in our prayers. I hope your sister's vet can offer some advice on how to make her all better.

Hugs,
Kelly xoxo

Thanks to Jan (QueenScoopalot) we received an excellent referral (through vetpet) with a specialist. Dr. Nelson Priddy (poor guy, I bet he got beat up every day at school) will be examining Princess Halo this Friday. I will be at work and since I work 600 miles away from home, I can’t exactly run home for the appointment. So, Bobcat will be handling it and will keep me posted and I’ll keep you posted. I’ve written up a letter with a bunch of questions. I’ve made a copy of all her test results for Dr. Priddy and Bob will get the x-rays to take over there so that they don’t have to sedate her to take more. It was also suggested we get an ultrasound. Our vet never suggested one and we didn’t know enough to ask.

Thank you for keeping Halo in your thoughts and prayers. A big thank you to Jan for telling us about vetpet.

That sounds very good. Princess Halo will be in good hands

I have made the experience that some vets don't propose ultrasound because they think it would be too expensive. They should leave that to the owner to decide.

I'm so glad to know you have got an appointment with a specialist (isn't PT wonderful?!) I won't be around for a few days over that time, but I will be thinking of adorable Halo and wishing her all the best.

[furrykidsmother]

Best wishes and good thoughts for Princess Halo's visit on Friday. Continued prayers too!

[NoahsMommy]

That's so great!!

**Thanks to Jan!!!**

Phoebe (and the others) are sending their healing vibes and prayers...

[sirrahbed]

Good news that Halo will see this specialist - thanks QSA! Writing up a list of questions is a terrific idea - sorry you have to be so far away right now with your job - but Bobcat will take care of things and isn't the internet wonderful for quick relay of information??

heehee - yes "Priddy" for a last name must have followed this doctor!!
