Hello
I am letting you guys know what my vets said about when I asked advise on my cats leg.
Here is the story of what happened.
I came home or downstairs not sure what, my cat was looking for food as normal, when I saw that my cat has pulled fur out on his leg. I took a look at my cats leg and it has bite marks from what looks likes another cat.
As normal, I phoned up my vets who said that they need him down ASAP due to being bit by another cat and needs his leg amputated. I was like, wow, you have not seen him how/why would he need this, they said because its been bit and if i cared for my cat I would bring him down ASAP and have his leg chopped off. I can't get him down to the vets today and they threatened me with some RAPCA thing that they would take my cat away from me and do the operation. I said fine, I will take him down to the vets nearer to me and I will get them to do it.
This was over 10 days ago and his bite marks are healing nicely. I have not taken him to the vets, I personally think they were going OTT, but I would like your views. Its not my first cat that has been bitten by another cat, I had one cat that had a bite on his head, If I was going to take them to my current vets they would of chopped his head off or even put him down?
You may think I am going OTT on this post, but the same vets chopped of my cats tail. Here is what happened with that, my cat had a bruised tail, and would of healed fine just like when you bruise your coccyx bone (according to my other vet). They shaved his tail and it was definitely bruised. They said they need to take x-rays and see whats going on, so, a few hours later not a thing from my vets so we phoned them and they said he is doing fine, and should be ready to pick up after an hour rest. I got to the vets and they took me to this room, where they showed the bruise on the xray it was a little swollen. The area was about 2 inches from his tip of the tail. We thought they would bandage it up and thats that. They then brought my cat out and he has a stump of just 4 inches, they said that they done this so it wouldn't happen again, nearly £1000 later.
The vets are a corporation, and Just after Money, thats my view.
My cat with not much of a tail hated the cone thing they put on him, and against the vets advise we took it off, and he didn't care about his tail and never has.
My cat with no tail is a bit of a bully cat and likes to make sure that the others behave. What we done was brought a PET First aid kit, which had stuff to clean up scratches etc and its done a wonder on my cats leg, I am going to get another one just incase anything happens again.
The other vets I went to was a charity.
