Another one - fantastic vet!

[Sue Taft]

I've just spoken to my friend Mary who's just got back from the vets for the re-test. She hadn't told me another of the cats that she'd rescued from the same house was ill. She'd had her to a different vet yesterday because she had a terrible mouth ulcer and was running a temperature. The FeLV test came back positive and the vet was all set to kill poor Daisy. Anyway, Mary decided she couldn't do it as Daisy was still eating and was happy in herself,  and so took her home.   She took Daisy to our usual vet, Sonia, today. Mary told her what had been said, so Sonia checked her mouth, said she'd seen worse and that if Daisy was still eating and enjoyed having her tummy tickled so much she thought it was worth a bash! Out came the interferon, poor Mary has gone home armed with antibiotics, more needles and more interferon, but a living cat! It may not work but it has to be worth trying and I so admire Sonia for wanting to give it a go. Makes me realize why I choose her to treat all my own cats when they're ill (including my FIV boy Eric who has an interferon injection every 3 weeks and is as fit as can be).   Sorry to go on, but I wanted to sing the praises of this vet to people who know what we're going through.   Sue
