Hello All,
I am at the end of my rope and sincerely hope you may be able to lend your opinion/thoughts and perhaps some well wishes.
Below is the timeline regarding my situation:
Name of Cat: Claiborne
Sex: Female
Age: 14 (approx)
Spayed
6th Sept. 05 First sign something was wrong. Wasnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t eating, noticeable weight loss. Seemed listless, as if in a dementia state, coughing, hard swallowing, fur unkept.
10th Sept. First visit to vet. Complete check up. Heart murmur detected, Heart rate 208, Anal glands drained. Suggested we test for hyperthyroid.
15th Sept. Complete blood work
19th Sept. Finally got results back, negative on following:
*Kidneys
*White/Red blood cells Okay
*Diabetes
*Liver
*Urinary
*Hyperthyroid
21st Sept. Electrocardiogram
22nd Sept. Electrocardiogram Results: Negative
23rd Sept. Back to vet for another check-up, including stool sample to rule out worms. Informed me vet did not actually see Electrocardiogram. Reading was outsourced then results sent to vet. He is going to get reading back then let me know what his opinion is. Heart rate at this time is 230 up from original visit.
26th Sept. Called twice, still no answer.
Everyday my Claiborne becomes weaken and thinner. I would go to another vet, however, after the target of two hurricanes, and the loss of three cats in a years time, I have exhausted all the money I had to run all these tests again with another vet.
Is this normal, waiting weeks at a time to get an answer? Have any of you experienced this situation? Perhaps I'm so upset and angry that I want answers now, and it just doesn't happen like that.
Thanks to all for allowing me to vent alittle frustration and despair.
Best to you all,
Leilani
