There's just nothing I enjoy more than bringing my cat back clearly sick from his vet's office where he's been boarded for the weekend (and of course according to the guy I just talked to on the phone, they saw no signs of him being unwell, even though he his appetite was enough off that they prescribed an appetite stimulant for him). I think for the rate we pay them for boarding and medication dispensing, next time we can probably find a cat-sitting service who will come out and do the insulin injections at home.

aw, poor little guy. and yes, you should be able to find a petsitting service who'll do that. if i lived closer, i'd offer. you might try petsitters international -- you can find local petsitters on their site. and never be afraid to ask for references.

Yeah, he's been telling me all night how bad he feels. =(

Poor Gateway! Wish I knew how to give the injections myself :(

[geekchick]

Icon love. =) Gateway's seeming to be a little less unhappy now that we're feeding him plain chicken, I think that's the feline equivalent of getting a lollipop at the doctor's office.

They prescribed an appetite stimulant for a diabetic cat without considering that he might be ill? Maybe it's not just time for a new boarding service, but a new vet :(

Poor thing. I hope you can get him feeling better soon.

That sounds like the vet, or his/her assistants, aren't paying attention. Which IMO means you aren't getting the service you paid for... hope that Gateway is better soon.
