I boarded my cat for 6 days at the vet so they could treat her bad ear infection which looks good now. I was relucatant because from the past she doesn't do well boarding.
However the vets had been lying to me about the care they gave and treated my cat very rough and barely listened to my instructions,
They claim she had been eating while there but I had never been allowed to see where she was staying so I have no proof she ate and she wouldn't eat for me. I told them the first day, PLEASE call me daily to make sure she is going to the bathroom. My cat is so terrified being away from home and in the past we went away for 3 days and she never ate or went to the bathroom and the vets were concerned about leaving her longer, that was our old vet.
The vets had never called me and when I went to visit I got an "I don't know" about her going. I figured because her ears were so bad leaving her there was more important for a few more days.
So the last day I asked if she went and they said "oh she never went so we've been giving her laxatives but she still hasn't gone". Not only did they lie, they gave her stuff without asking first!
I immedietly says she is going home today and brought her home.
She was on ear drops and convenia shot for secondary infection. Plus laxative.
I don't know if she hadn't eaten in 6 days or probably her stress was off the charts and her digestive system is out of whack or what? Last time we brought her home and she went soon after.
She's been home a day and besides tiny bit of pee no bowel movement making it 7 days! She is drinking a lot of water and eating very little and sleeping all day, not normal behavior.
I gave extra canned food, grass, and I'm going to buy a little tuna, this usually makes her go. If she doesn't I'm worried and after all the trauma she's been to and I don't trust the vet I don't know what to do!
I'm hoping she goes soon but now another vet that has hurt my cat [emoji]128549[/emoji]
