[Felvtalk] vets un-informed

2011-11-21 Thread Mary Lou
I believe it is a lot of miss or incomplete info the vets get during training and in college. I have a relatively young vet and he is unaware of how a cat can test positive twice on snaps and now be negative on a deep well. I am blue in the face trying to explain.

I agree, even ngative cats get upset going to the vet. I think it is the noise the car makes. I have found that driving over 50 mph sets them off. Homey talks all the way (15 miles). She says nooo way! Under 50mph, they are all calmer so I set the cruise and allow enough time to get there

Beth, I agree. I only use the larger ER group when I have an emergency late at night or on weekends. They are ok, nice, but just do not know each cat's personality and ractions to sounds and movements. Beth Noren maxgoodb...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Pam, I think a good regular vet who is

Do you all have your FeLeuk kitties seen by your regular vets? I talked to a wonderful consulting vet I know re Miss Eleanor (formerly Sabrina) his first recommendation was Internal Medicine at U of WI, but then said that this would probably not be necessary as long as she is asymptomatic.

My vet is a GP. treats cats, dogs and lots of horses and cows so his info on things like felv is not as good as a specialist, but, he welcomes every bit of information I bring him. I print out a lot of the things all of the members come up with and he then does his own research on the

Hi Pam, I think a good regular vet who is willing to listen is the absolute best kind. I've tried another vet with a larger 24 hour practice who has pioneered some procedures. He was a mean, nasty ego-maniac. I much prefer a smaller practice where they can spend time to get to really know you
