In a perfect world every pet would receive a second opinion. I think that is a great idea!

Hello,
I’m so sorry to hear about your cat. And all of the others in his situation.
I do not have any experience with apple cider and honestly I am too worried about what is likely already going on with your cat to try to advise anything else other then the er.
I’m working really hard to accumulate a list of affordable places and options. Please let me know if you find anyone locally. Please keep calling everyone and everywhere.

If all else fails offer to surrender your cat to get the care he needs. I know it’s not fair but it’s better to save his life.

Keep me appraised of what happens.

Best of luck

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out here.

I will do my best to help.

If there is anything we can discuss publicly you can add it here. Or call the clinic and leave your number. Tell them we spoke here and that I asked you to call. We can go over details at that time.

Krista.

Hello,

Can you send a photo to us at jarrettsvillevet@gmail.Com. Along with a good description. Maybe someone on our Facebook page can help.

Hello,
Almost all of the lipomas hat I see are easily removed as they tend to form in a capsule that makes it easy to remove. Usually they can be shelled out without much if any bleeding and other than resolving the issue of left over dead space ( a drain might be needed) they heal quickly and easily. I have seen a few invasive lipomas that seem to form from within the muscle and are embedded within in the adjacent muscle. They do not shell out but often can be “debulked”.
If cost is an issue see if you can find an independent veterinarian who is comfortable and proficient in surgery. I don’t think that many of these cases need or can afford an mri or boarded surgeon. At least in my cases I offer to try to remove and I usually know within a few minutes of surgery if this is going to be a routine lipoma surgery or something else. Talk about options cost and scenarios. Be available by phone while the surgery is taking place and know that it’s ok to both wait and monitor and look for affordable options. Lastly I would recommend you find an independent vet practice and avoid corporate practices as they tend to be more expensive and refer cases to specialists most people struggle to afford.

I hope this helps.

Good luck

Hello?

I am not a reproductive specialist. But I think your vet can ask their lab services rep about progesterone checks or go get an ultrasound or refer to a surgeon for help. These cases can be frustrating but it is really important to make sure a testicle was not left behind in the abdomen.

Hello,

I understand completely. Are you upset enough to want to try to both understand and do something about it? I am. If you are then please share your stories on the storylines section above. I’m hoping to start to build a network of transparent vets with both credibility and integrity who are affordable

Hello
Call alll of the local vets and rescues/shelters to see if they can recommend someone. Also I have had some success with medication and cold laser therapy. An X-ray yo look for urinary stones in the bladder is also an option. The cats with urinary stones often need a prescription diet. Weight loss and encouraging water intake, or switching to a high quality canned cat food and adding water can also help
Lastly I would like to know which vet clinic you went to by adding your story and the cost of care to the story line section available here.

Let me know what happens

Hello,
You can rest her. Or go to the ER. Or call your vet and ask for pain management assistance until you can be seen.
