sheelagh - 09 Feb 2007 10:23 GMT Hi everyone, & thank you so much for the purrs, I think that they are about the only thing keeping her alive presently. after phoning the surgery & walking up there to find no one in the surgery at all, I looked in the phone book for an emergency number but there wasn't one of course! I was told on the prior call to the surgery that there would be someone caring for her, but when I went back yet again, there was no one there at all!!!!
I wasn't able to reach either the vet, or Lilly either. Had I been able to, I would have collected her & taken her to another veterinary surgery where they would have have helped her. Instead I spent the night awake wondering what I could do to help Lilly. I had to wait until 8.30 gmt to talk to the nurse who told me that she was OK, & that If I were to call back in 1/2 an hour, then I would be able to talk to the vet herself to see what the prognosis was.
Quite late last night I received a couple of emails form a few people in the cat newsgroups to say that If Lilly had pyometra, that she needed urgent medical attention..so as you can imagine, I have been climbing the walls because that is exactly what she diagnosed...
I have spoken to the vet this morning & she tells me that Lilly is not eating at all now, that she is still drooling terribly & that she is not optimistic about the outcome at all. There is still anal secretion from the anal sacks, & she intends to do an x-ray right now. I asked her to perform the spay as soon as it is possible to do so for her, but her reply Quote: " Is only if I have to".
As I am sure you can appreciate, we are all worried sick about her, very angry & frustrated because she lost two whole days when Lilly could have been treated, but she left her there to rot as far as we are concerned. With no night care there, & no one to treat her, she would have been better off here where she could be loved & action could have been taken if we felt that she was degenerating. Now we need to know our rights, but also have no idea where to look for them or find out what we can or can not do. I guess we need to know our rights? If anyone can let us know, we will act on it, now!
I have been told to phone up @ 2pm to see how she is. We are all very frightened right now. Thank you for the purrs once again &more news as we have it. S.

I was more angry than words could possibly express having been told that there would be care dying the night for her. In fact, Paul was so Bull minded about it, that he sat outside the surgery all night to see if anyone came or left it, so we can only conclude that we were fed a pack of lies. If anyone knows anything about the law regarding vets and the care of animals in their keeping, I would be more than grateful to hear from you please?
Anger is still bubbling away now, but the welfare of the cat is paramount here ...
Latest news @11am gmt Vet has just called to confirm diagnosis of pyometra, which she told me Lilly had 3days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly can't believe that my cat has been in her care for 3 days, & she is only taking action now...?????? An xray has been performed & no blockage can be found in the throat or mouth to explain why Lilly is still drooling constantly. I am beginning to wonder if I ought to Ping Phil about this one? She has decided that she is going to do a ovariohistorectomy (@ long last!!, or in other words, spay her) My ultimate fear is that by not treating her in the last 48 hours since her last injection of antibiotics, that she might go into renal failure and die anyway:( I can only pray that she has reached her in time.
I have asked if I can come down to see her today, & she has asked me to call first, but that I may be able to visit her later. I have to admit to being utterly shocked when she offered me the chance to try & treat her with antibiotics because she was a breeding queen- I can only assume that is because I had intended to mate Lilly with her blue point Birmi in the spring, but I have no intention of doing that to poor Lilly.... Lets all purr & pray that Lilly ~Pads has what it takes to come through this one, because she is my baby (In as far as she is my youngest cat & I love her dearly). Lilly is a fighter, with a heart full of love, a temperament full of naughty Pants, & the affection to cure the sick, truely Life without her wouldn't bare thinking about. Fill you in with more news later & hopefully I get the chance to see her too. once again, thank you for all of your soothing purrs, Lilly is bathing in them & hopefully soon she will be home & up to all of her naughty tricks again, God Willing, S.

These symptoms all sound like a stroke

I was just thinking that things couldn't possibly get any worse.... Just goes to show how wrong you can be, Hey?:o(
I just wish the damned vet could be a bit more open and honest with us!!
I hope it is not the case of course, but if it is, then I suppose we have to start plan B. I have no idea what plan B is yet, but I guess I will have to think on it?
She has been mobile, but I would be interested to hear more about that theory & what would be best for her given the situation? I just don't want her to suffer.. It would be too cruel. Time to start purring & praying again.... You can't help but get so attached to your cat, can you? S.

I am probably wrong! What I'm reading is that they just don't know. Sorry to worry you, I didn't mean to do that. Ask Lilly's vet about an infarction.

I would rather be prepared for what "might" be ahead, than hear it from her , Presently..simply because I am angry about the treatment she(lilly )has received. I find it wanting & less than adequate personally. I will ask about infarction though! Thanx for that one.
Cindy has just given me another idea too. I am going to call the Cat Protection League to find out what Lilly's rights are regarding treatment. I figure it would be better to do that , than blast at the vet because I am angry right now, hey? Calling now! S.

You would do more good for the cat problem by educating people, rather than being up to your elbows in cat crap and cat hair. Nothing wrong with being in the trenches, had you never done that you may never consider Educating people in this.
anyway, I hope to chat with you on here, more later about it, but for now, let us know the latest on Lilly. Sending prayers.
I'm sure she will be just fine. She knows you are pulling for her, she'll be fine.

Rhonda - 09 Feb 2007 18:15 GMT Sheelagh,
Go get her out of there! She's had to lay there with no one around, get her out of there and get her to another vet.
You don't have to follow their "call first" BS and everything else. They do not call the shots -- this is YOUR cat! Go march down there and let Lilly know you're still there for her. You decide what happens with her care and when you can see her.
I am sending all of the good vibes I can find.
Rhonda

I like your attitude Rhonda, you are living the real world
You know all too well that just because we have the idea that things are supposed to go a certain way (especially in an ER situation).. that they will go that way, but that's not reality...
On a similiar note.
A mom and dad took their adult invalid son too an adult rehabilitation facility in NC. The place is called the Greenery. It cost them $30,000 per month. yes, that's Thirty Thousand per month. (I know these people like my own family)
The son stayed there one month, and his health seemed to be going downhill. The parents of this BOY REALLY... begin to travel back and forth. The Greenery is supposed to be the best on the coast, especially for the money.
The father of this invalid decided to be a "fly on the wall"at this facility, just to see how they were really treating his son.
The father snuk in one night, and found his son drawn up in a fetal position (a huge drop in the sons health and general appearance)... the father sneeked his son out of the facility, put him in the van with the sons mom... The father went back into the facility and approached the nurses desk.
--- The son had lost weight, had a strange horrified look on his face, was drawn up in a defensive fetal position, had sh.t up his back.. his muscles had atrophied terribly since his arrival at the Greenery.<sp> --
The father went back inside and asked the Nurse on duty, how his son was doing, the nurse replied, "Oh he's fine, In fact I just came from his room, he's doing very well"... The father snatched the nurses log, and told the nurse, you're a liar, I just took my son, we're leaving, he took the nurses log and his son and drove the hell back home! They tried to stop him, but what could they do! It's his son.
No, you cannot turn the life of the ones you love over to just anyone!
You have to call the shots where you see treatment is not forthcoming, when you see that things are not going like they should (or as you expected) you have to be a stand up person.. to hell with what people think. You sit there too long worried about what someone might say, yule lose the one love.
The greenery would have killed that young man. Today, the young man is doing just fine, still lives with his folks, but... even at 30,000 dollars a month, they couldn't get the adult care and rehab the young man needed.
Sorry to be windy, just wanted to show you that, I know all too well, you have to "march right down there" and make things right.

> I am sending all of the good vibes I can find. > > Rhonda From the sounds of it, Lilly was too sick to be moved to another vet. I don't know that Sheelagh really had a choice but to let this vet do the surgery (due to the precariousness of Lilly's situation). At any rate, the impression I got from what Sheelagh wrote in another post was that the vet had just gone ahead with it, according to previously discussed arrangements. I hope this vet was more competent in the operating room than out of it.
Sheelagh wrote in another post that Lilly is out of surgery. She is going to see her or has promised us a report at 5:30 GMT, but I don't know how that corresponds to EST. Anyone??
I'm holding my breath, hoping for good news. I think Sheelagh should insist that either she or her husband stay with Lilly in the veterinary hospital until the situation is stable (whether a technician/nurse is also present or not) and thereafter until Lilly comes home (especially if the animals are left alone at night). I've never heard of anything so disgraceful as leaving critically ill animals alone at night. Best regards, ---Cindy S.

I agree with you and Rhonda that Sheelagh should march down to the office and demand to see Lilly immediately. Best regards, ---Cindy S.

At any rate, I will not be at my computer after 5:00 EST today through tomorrow night. I'm sure I will be thinking about Lilly the entire day tomorrow. I'm hoping to read happy news tomorrow night. I feel like we could all use some good news. Best regards, ---Cindy S.

[quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > naughty tricks again, God Willing, > S. totally agree with rhonda, as soon as you can you go and get lilly out of there, i thought it was not right that she was there on her own (see my post from previous topic on this) they shoud have someone monitoring the animals in their care ALL THE TIME 24 HOURS A DAY anything less is a failure to provide adequate care for the animals they are responsible for. if you want to complain then as well as the CPL you could also try the Feline Advisory board www.fabcats.org, phone number is 0870 742 2278, or maybe the animal health trust at www.aht.org.uk (they are based in suffolk which is kind fo your area isn't it?) or even the RSPCA, try all of them in fact. Remember that the animla welafre bill is coming out soon which is supposed to cover stuff like this and provide legal protection for animals and guarantee them some form of rights, if it was out now i am sure that your vet woudl have been breaking the law by leavign Lilly alone for so long unattended.
you can also perhaps ring up the royal college of vets (london based) who I think regulate the profession www.rvc.ac.uk or the royal college of veterinary surgeons too, www.rcvs.org.uk, and talk to them as this surely goes against their codes of professional conduct.
I am just disgusted and appalled that your vet has left Lilly alone and unattended with such a condition, even without such a condition it is simply unacceptable. You have every right to be upset and angry about this and to scream about it to whichever governing body you feel fit to report it to, you will not be doing it for yourself and lilly but also for other animal lovers who may unwittingly leave their animals in this vets 'care' without realising that their animals will not be properly looked after. Please find another vet to care for Lilly I know you are in a rural area but there are others around, ones approved of by the feline advisory board will be listed ontheir website www.fabcats.org.uk and they also have their own regulations for vets to be listed on their books.
if you want to email me with you general area, village name whatever i can see if I can find a decent vet for you, this kind of things cannot be allowed to go on.
lots of fingers crossed and purrs for lilly, all be they very angry ones from me, Bookie

[quoted text clipped - 94 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Thank you for the advice Dave, I really have been grateful for all the thoughts, Idea's, & support that I have received from everyone today,particualrly Ciny who has put up with my every fright & big B too, Also, Thanks to Rhonda before you too I would hate anyone to think I didn't mention them for any reason, other than there have been so many of you. The purrs have been *very soothing indeed* & I know for a fact that Lilly appreciates them because I have just been to visit her post operative. I meant to take my camera to get a few shots of her, but forgot to in my hurry to rush out of the door of course!! I did manage to take one or two on my mobile phone which I am trying to process right now so that I can post them to you. I got told off for taking them without asking too, OOOPS! I will take all of the advice that you mention Dave because it seems that the standard of this surgery most definitely falls very short of the standards you describe. Poor old Lil...She got through the op fine, but vet a bit worried about a pocket of what she thinks is air in her gut showing up on the xray. She has had an an-enema (prob spelt wrong, soz)..& she also thinks we might have hit septecimia too:( Lil is currently on all sorts of antibiotics, a drip for dehydration, & I took the liberty of reading her care sheets whilst Ross & I were alone (my son)..there is no night care at all because I searched for it, & the last Ob's are taken @ 5pm in the afternoon!!!!!! Till 8 am the following morning:o( TERRIBLE, But what can I do? Lil was DELIGHTED to see us & started dribbling immediately when she saw us. Although sedated, she crawled towards the front of her cage & we took 45 mins of cuddles until we were thrown out @ closing time. She purred for the UK & the USA To hear too of course &started kneading her towel that we took in there for her as well. I took the liberty of asking the vet if it was possible that she might have had a stroke & her reply was no, also asked what the prognosis was and she said that she was optimistic, but couldn't promise anything. Her eyes were gunky, & she was a bit if a mess, but it was utterly joyous to see her & I am certain that she felt the same way too. I am typing in haste because my son is due to meet the girlfriend on line.. you know how it is,lol?!!! I promise to post the rest of the details later in better description and the rest of the story as well. I don't think I can bare the thought of leaving her there all weekend on her own especially on Sunday as no one is there at all:( Be back on line in about an hour or so... THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS POSTED, YOU HAVE GOT ME THROUGH THE WORST DAY IN MY LIFE.... Best Wishes, S;o)
Rhonda - 09 Feb 2007 20:04 GMT Sheelagh,
I'm glad she was so happy to see you. She still has spirit!
Please don't let her there over the weekend -- there is no reason for it. You can take much better care of her than she would get alone in a cage. She needs someone to watch over her. We will never leave our cats at a vet that does not have someone there to watch them. Never. We always ask about it up front.
If they are worried about her moving around, set up something for her at home. It will do her a world of good to have your love and care. And she is your cat, you can take her out of the hospital at ANY time -- they cannot hold your cat hostage.
Sheelagh, please don't make her stay there over the weekend. Why would they even suggest that with no one there, that is absurd.
I am sending more vibes for Lilly. I hope she gets through this with flying colors.
Rhonda

Much better she is monitored constantly by you and in a reassuring and familiar home environment (reduces stress and aids recovery) than left alone in a scary and unkown place where anything could happen to her post-op and there woud be noone around to help.
please let us know you have taken her home with you before sunday.
hey if you need someone to help you break in to the vets to 'liberate' Lilly I am more than happy to drive and lend a hand! bookie

I am also in 100% agreement. Lilly should absolutely not be left there on Sunday. We will all be looking for your post that says you brought her home.

You and Sheelagh and Paul and their children could all go to the vet tomorrow during normal business hours and spring Lilly together right then and there. There is strength in numbers.

I have just typed a mile of posting and the damed thing said it was succesful, but when I looked there wasnt a single word of it there.AAAGGGH, I could Scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ross and I mad ehte appointment to go and see poor old Lilly who as you all know has been there all on ther tod since thursday lunchtime. Speaking of livid bookie....I didnt intend to insinuate that you were called Dave by the way, I was taking a thread from the other posting that I thought you had read & adding it you yours,lol!!! I will copy and paste it to this one so that you understand what I meant,ok? Anyway, the point is got you all as far as the visit. I have just typed a mile of posting and the damed thing said it was succesful, but when I looked there wasnt a single word of it there.AAAGGGH, I could Scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ross and I made the appointment to go and see poor old Lilly who as you all know has been there all on ther tod since thursday lunchtime. We were cordialy informed that we might be welcome to do so between 5-5.30 pm, so we got there @5 on the dot...& we waited,... & we waited.... & by 6pm, she called us into her cubby hole and showed me the xray that she had taken. In The Grubby old thing she showed us that there was a dark area,so I asked what it was & she told me that she had no idea @ all, that Lilly had been given an enenema to clear her bowel because she was constipated, & that she had a look at the bowel, but couldn't work out what it was, so she massaged it along a bit in the hope that it would work it's way out eventually. I then asked how the operation went & she said it went fairly well, but it was a bit touch and go regarding septacemia, that she couldn't make any promises, but that she was also optomistic about her (baring in mind that I know full well that no one has even bothered to look at her since thursday lunch time, you can imagine how hard it was for my to stand on my tongue and not simply let rip@ her.Especially for those of you who know me- you will appreciate it was like folding in a tornado of abuse) Snow my back side, Paul made it to barnwell, so she could have come to work, she simply pulled a sicky and blamed it on the snow! She (BTW She is always the vet) Having apologized & told me that it was simply beyond her control, after admiting to Paul that she had sick horses, which was why she went home on thurdsday afternoon, so that was the last time that Lilly got any treatment or care...it really was all I could do not to launch into full throttle... once I had swalled that bitter pill, I asked her how she felt about the prognosis was, & she took us both out to the back where she she keeps all of her inmates (prisoners, for our american freinds)..& one look at Lilly was enough to make me howl with tears, even Ross too... She was lying there patheticaly and listlessly. We were already warned that she was sedated, had a drip in because she was a touch dehdrated... (well of course she was, no one fed her or gave her any water since the day previous at lunch time!!) The moment she heard our voices though, her little head perked up & she cried and meowled for us to come to her- she lolooked so vulnerable and pathetic too, with green mucky eys,one of her front paws straped up with her drip & oviously she must havew felt terribly sore too with the spaying been done? I then thought of lots of questions such as "do you think it is possible that she might have had a stroke", to which the answer was a catogorical NO! "why do you think that she is drooling still", was answered with, "I think it might be for attention"...funny because she has never done that before.... "why do you think she was coughing", was "I have no idea, but it isn't so bad now, is it"? Is it possible that she might have a touch of flu" Answer again was "No"! Are you giving her antibiotics for the eye infection", Answer was "No, I gave her a shot a couple of days ago so that should help clear it". "Don't you think a few more might help if she had/has septacemia" Answer was , "she can't take anything orally, but when she is ready we could try again".... OMG..What do we do in the meantime? Wait for to die? Anger goes beyond how I feel right now.... She left us at that point & I was cursing myself for a fool for not taking my camera, so I got Ross to take a few on my mobile(cell phone!!)..which the nurse herd so came to investigate what was happening.. I explained that we were taking a few snaps for the rest of the children to see as we felt it would be inappropriate to bring all 4 of them...it usually works, & did this time too, but she asked us to ask next time BTW-The nurse was her daughter today...Interesting, hey? Whilst the nuse was there, I took the opportunity to ask her what time their observations were done during the night, but she didn't know because she didn't do lates...meanwhile Ross was giving me very pointed stare's so i shut up because I realised that he must have had his reasons to that..& he did He mananged to find Lilly's notes, in which it states that the last ob's are done @ 5.30 pm- the next ones are done the following mornig @ 8.30 am So we were right, there is no night cover at all... I am so sadened by this. In all the years I have used her, I have never had an overnight patient with her, or I would have known &NEVER have takewn LILLY there @ all.... Lilly was as delighted as we were, & even though she was sedated, she crawled to the front of ther cage and did head rubs, a bit of slobbery drooling, but it did stop afer a while once we were there for around 20 mins or so;it stopped completely too?? We played I love you, Kissy kissy, cuddles & talk in a silly high voice which made her purr forever, but I noticed that her mouth was open all the while we were there. Am I right in thinking that cats open their mouths to pant? I wondered this becuse the heater was right under her cage...it was ever so hot there... she loved seeing us though & it was heart braking to leave her bewcause she wanted to come with us too-I cried, I don't mind admitting it either. I hated it!!! All too soon it came time to leave and we were gently reminded it was closing time:o( IT WAS MORE THAN WONDERFUL TO SEE HER AGAIN- I DID FEAR THAT I NEVER WOULD I am going to have to do something a bit later this morning because I CAN'T LEAVE HER THERE! It is a really dingy hole out the back & I wouldn't leave lilly's pet cockroach there, seriously!! In an ideal world "Bookie" ... I would like to take her to a vetinary clinic in Hutingdon callled the CROMWELL SURGERY, ever heard of it? The reason I say this is because it comes personally recommended by a lady who runs a cattery in the village- & if they are good enough for her, then I am more than sure they would be for me..... Rhonda ~& Cindy, I would love to bring her home,. but with the line I am terrified that I might mess up. If you honestly feel that I can do it, I would. There is no place like home, but if there is even a thought that I might not be doing the right thing, then tell me so too please? This is far briefer than the last post, but it is now nearly 3 am & I am flagginfg for lack of sleep in three days now, so guess I had better go and try and get some in case I do have to bring her home. I don't want Lilly-Pads to be in there a moment longert than I have to & will keep you all posted on how it goes later. I will be around for the next half an hour or so, so if anyone is still up, I would love to hear from you. Grateful doesn't come near what i would like to thank you all for. You have been a brilliant moral support & I thank you all for it too. More updates when & if it all happens,but I intend to SRING HER ASAP LATER THIS MORING, REST ASSURED..I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS.
