Blocked- He Won't Eat, Help Please!!

If I was still employed I'd send you money in a heart beat, I'm sorry that I can't help on me

Have you had the water tested, we had really good water at cooking lake, we had a softener and purifier but still didnt drink it, maybe its a british thing!...the water we have here at this house we had tested and while it is classed safe to drink we dont, if we leave some sitting in a bowl after a short time it leaves a lot of white powder in the dish, assuming high in salts?!......I wont even use it to water my plants but Im super paranoid!....but I dont think its an issue for you, do you drink the same water?

Sorry you are struggling, does your vet offer a payment program, sometimes if you ask they will sort something out, I saw this Veterinary Financing Program last time I was in and took the info for clients incase they need it

1 888 689 9876 petcard.ca no down payment, no collateral, competative interest rates, equal monthly payments up to 72 months, high approval rate and more

Please do consider in the future anyone reading this thread look at pet insurance, without it I could not have coped with the vets bills for Canagan, I use TRUPANION, awesome to deal with, never had an issue, for a big dog over the span of 9 years payments were $40-55 month, not that much when you get hit for those big bills:)

I dont think the vets get into at least 9am, maybe later depending if they have surgeries,have found this out the hard way myself, yes thats a lot to insure, I have all my dogs(3 now 2)insured as more stuff goes wrong with them and rambo as he is inside but my other cat hes not insured, it is expensive, no way id be able to insure all those cats!

I know its hard but try not to worry about the food too much, they may be hoping he will get hungry and eat on his own while hes there allowing you to take him home faster and look after him but if he doesnt at least they can jump in fast before it becomes a major issue.

Im a little worried this is dragging on so long, cats get depressed easily, glad you are talking to vet later:)

When this clinic opens, at 8am, the vets are available to see clients. They have to get there at least a little earlier to be ready.

I got to go in back and visit Sky pretty quickly, I said I wanted a consult for sure. Dr H, the original "primary" is back and Dr M wasn't there. Wish I'd looked at my watch, but I was in there a long time. After waiting and not finding out anything, I heard Dr H's voice and walked over to him. He was prepping to do dental work on a dog. I said I just wanted to be reassured that Sky had ever gotten any nutrients. Dr H stopped and looked at me, looking concerned. I told him that I had been sure to make it clear that Sky had stopped eating for all that time, I told him how I had tried and failed. I know that cats are different, if they go without food for very long they can go into liver failure and that I'm just scared. I told him about calling this am and being told the tubing was "being discussed, he shook his head and said, "not with me". Dr H headed straight for Sky and scanned the chart, mumbled about there being nothing there. Said Sky would be tubed "now". I watched, after Sky was returned to his cage I told him (Sky) to rest and concentrate on digesting. Then I just had to turn and walk out.
I am furious, stunned, disappointed, name an emotion that could fit this and I'm feeling it.

So much involved. Who does the actual feeding? Are there no records kept? Somebody has to notice if any animal is not eating, aren't they suppose to report that? How long does an animal have to go before anything is done? Is there any communication at all? What about my call, what's up with the "discussion? By who?
I need to write everything down, to make sure I don't lose everything when I get upset, talking to the head vet. I have been going there for over 35 years, because I always trusted them.

Im sorry, thats awful, I would be pissed too, people do make mistakes but its not like its something you mentioned only once, hoping for a better update today:)

May be time to look for another vet practice and second opinion, Ive done it and will again

NOT GOOD! I would be hopping mad! You take your pet, your family member, to a vet, someone who is supposed to be able to provide the best care for them and they mess up like that?! I would be livid! So glad you were there to advocate for Sky, who knows how much longer he would have gone along like that without any nutrition!

I really hope he feels better soon.

Sounds like he is making a little progress, that's great. May need to tube him a time or two more just to get his strength up.

A little bit is better than none, so Yay for Sky! (love that name by the way).  You keep on keeping on little kitty, we're all here rooting for you!

A tiny bit better today. You have to look closely to see. My heart is starting to feel like it's being put through a cheese grater. The last thing I want is to keep him going if it's just for me. The vet did say if he was her cat, she would give it a few more days.

Dr M said she put off tubing him because the tubing is traumatic and stressful. I wouldn't think it that great for the throat either. The people, all young women, who man the counter and phones aren't hands on with the animals very much. Dr M was not there on the day the tubing was "being discussed" I don't know where they got their info, it was not from Dr M. The only info I'm going to trust is what I get first hand, in person.
Not saying I'm completely satisfied, simply that I will be asking any questions in person and watching. Most of all I do not want to alienate the very people who are caring for Sky.

I am so very grateful for your support and prayers. Being able to come here keeps me sane.
