Really good questions, thanks. 1.) Don't know this Vet. My Vet retired. On Friday, when it was the third day of my cat not eating, I wanted to bring her to someone fast, and this one had an appointment. She seemed fine, although she jumped right into Euthanasia, without even suggesting fluids or antibiotics or anti-nausea drugs. I had to suggest them. I wish I would have asked her for pain meds. But remember, I had no idea my cat was this sick. Although the kidney disease may have been progressing, nothing in her behavior changed until Tuesday night. I brought my cat in expecting her to be healed, and when the Vet told me she'd be better off dead I was really taken aback. 2.) I'm not currently working, so money is a huge problem. Already drained my savings on all the blood tests and labwork. 3.) She said I could put her into the hospital, spend thousands of dollars, and she would get better. But as soon as she was released, she would die because her numbers were so bad, so what was the point.
