I agree he should be ashamed of himself....I would like to see his face and know his mind when he reads the oncologist's report she is sending him! It will show him all he did not do....and should have, he never checked to see what the fluid around the heart was for example...
but it is ok now, I won't be going back to him with her...and if I do it will be convenience. He is less than a mile from my house and I can usually get in immediately and get a discount as I do rescue work. So there are some benefits there but I know he is not the best vet around. Actually there are not many in this area I am happy dealing with. Last year was a horrible year for me and my babies. I lost 3 Shih Tzu's and a cat from April to October, it is a horror story and a long one. Each pet had a different illness and 2 were prolonged and 2 were sudden. (all part of why I was so devastated when I got the first diagnosis...just went numb) All for now and good night....and good night...smile Dianne and Asia ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2006 6:05 PM Subject: Re: Dr. Ward's consult That's great!! I hope it continues for a long time, too. If at some point she stops responding, there are a few chemo drugs to ask about-- CCNU being one, Elspar being another if she is not using it now. But hopefully that will not be the case for a long time. Your old vet should be ashamed of himself. Unfortunately, vets like him are more the norm than the exception-- it is how they respond. I am hopeful about this changing, slowly, because I met an intern who told me that at least some vet schools are now teaching that FeLV is not a death sentence and cats can live a long time with it, and that cats with it should be treated for the problems that arise.
