Hi, everyone, first off, I would like to state that I believed what the doctor & staff told me about my cat for ten years.. I even had him tested yearly and even for the senior blood work & test. In the past, I called in or went up to the doctor's office when he started throwing up a lot and always being hungry, and was only told that he eats too fast.. My cat was over weight and put on a diet by the doctor with the prescription food. His recent test and blood work came back fine with no none illnesses (clean bill of health). Ok, a few months pass and within the last 2 days my cat's health significantly declines. I take him in because he is yelping really badly & peeing everywhere. The doctor states, that he has blood & crystals in urine, low white cell count, low glucose (diabetes), & etc.. The only thing she recommends is that my cat be hospitalized with no guarantee of survival & that it will be extremely expensive and/or I can take him to the humane society to have him euthanized for free.. How does a cat go from being perfectly normal (in my eyes) to ready to die in 2 days..!! Thus, my cat is no longer here and my family and I are devastated!! I just don't understand how doctors can be so quick to want to kill the animal instead of trying to work something out on saving it & getting it out of so much pain..? I even ask for pills for him for his conditions and she declined me!! Unfortunately after the fact, I found on the internet that pills can be given and he should have never been given dry food because of the over weight & the conditions that come with a male neutered cat (which I did not no about).. The doctor also stated to me, well didn't you see the signs? Well, I don't speak cat, so I did not know what to look for.. I just told you about him throwing up and always hungry.. So please try to do your own research and just don't trust solely in any doctor!! I just assumed they had my cat's best interest and did what the doctor stated.. They even knew my cat by name as soon as we came in the door by his meow's:). Now, it is so hard for my family to keep going without our cat...:(.Read Less
