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.

Thanks for the link, I'll definitely check it out.

Poor Mr. Cats!

CU

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

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

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.

Ahem!!!! How many times have i offered to do this?????? What in the heck are ya doing sending him elsehwere????????

Grrrrr
