I'm having trust issues with Veterinary's.
Last night, my Tonkanese started howling, then was panting like crazy. We took him to an after hours veternary. They put him on oxygen and diagnosed him with a possible 'Saddle Thrombus' which is most likly TERMINAL .
We opt to take him home against vet's recomendation of Euthinatia ... he gets a shot of morphine and we take him home, pray, and read him poems ... this mourning, PRAISE BE JESUS, he's walking, eatting, pooping ... Is this a mirricale or bad diagnosis from veternaryian?
So, I call his local vet, and they're amazed that he's walking, let alone roaming about the house (they got a fax from emergency vet) ... Well, both say "Saddle Thrombus" is a common trait in Tonkanese cats ... he could have bad heart, clott, or instead of "Saddle Thrombus", he could have "Nerve Trama" from jumping / landing wrong way.
Ahh ... don't know if it's a mirrical he's alive today, or if vet's are all morrons ...
