For your responses to my post about our cat's tumor. My husband is
feeling much better about it today and we are going to call the vet
for an estimate as soon as they open.

I also decided to check with another vet in our area. I was really
dissappointed with our vet yesterday - she didn't really tell me
ANYTHING at all except 'we need to take this one out, see you on
Friday, can we do a teeth cleaning at the same time?' (can you say
$$$$, it's like - do you want fries with that burger!) We were in
there with the vet about 5 minutes total, with of course a 20 minute
wait before hand despite our appointment. The place was packed.

Then when we were checking out, the receptionist seemed peeved that I
didn't know any more details - I said that's all she said, ask the VET
if you need more info, I don't have it! All that for $42 and I was
left feeling like I didn't have all the information I needed, I was
hurried through, and overcharged.

We'll get a second opinion, and I will be asking about specialists for
the surgery or at least want to know how many vaccine related sarcomas
they've treated and how many surgeries the vet has done. It seems
like, if this is a sarcoma, our best bet is a good first surgery.

Thank you all again, you were just what we needed and I'll keep you
posted. Miss Abby is purring this morning and appreciating all the
extra attention and special treats we've been showering her with.
