Here's hoping I get a reply.

One of our cats is currently in the Veterinary Hospital. The reason I am writing this isn't about coverage, as we have it, but the payment arrangements ( Read more... )

Vet called... Keito's bladder re-obstructed, although not as severely as the catheter went in much easier. It was a mucus blockage rather than the hard one, meaning the left over of infection combined with inflammation ( Read more... )

Wing and I just got back from Murdoch Emergency Vet Centre where we visited Keito. He is up, alert, bright eyed, smoochie, but still won't eat. Vet said not to worry about that because it's not unusual for cats to go on a 'hunger strike' when they are at the vet.

Vet/Radiologist report:
Radiographs of the forelimbs: wrist, elbows and shoulders ( Read more... )

Dr S said that the lump is a piece of bone, but not from Loki's wrist. No idea where it has come from. It isn't spongy, nor does it have the 'moth eaten' look of bone cancer. It's just a piece of bone ( Read more... )
