Hi all,
Some advice please.
We took our cat sooty to vet six months ago as he seemed to have problems eating. Was told all was fine, but of gingivitis, antibiotics give .
In October took him back as he was much worse. Turns out he had a big cavity in his gum ,needed extensive op and plastic surgery - cost £500 insurance wouldn't cover as dental is an exception 😡
He was ok after but not 100%. Became ill over Xmas, took him back and this vet thought he had a tumour and probably has all along. All the vets there are very young, language barrier as foreign and seem very inexperienced,
I'm just cross they never did a biopsy when they did the extensive surgery . They are now treating palliatively with steroids and antibiotics .
Plus it's not my cat ! He's a stray, doesn't come in the house but I am responsible for him.
Anyone got any experience of vets please? Should they have done biopsy, now want us to pay for another op to do biopsy to be certain it's cancer.
I've lost faith I really have, with doctors and now vets.
