My Dcat isn't well. He's vomited a large amount this morning, is lethargic and initially was drinking more water than usual, but now isn't eating or drinking. He has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, although is currently well managed on medication.
I took him to the vets at lunchtime and had an awful experience. Wanted to give him iv fluids as he's dehydrated. I mentioned his cardiac meds to the vet again and not long after she rang me back and said a dog was barking in the vets and she didn't want to stress my Dcat out so was sending him home without the fluids and to bring him back for assessment tomorrow. Basically iv fluids can be really dangerous for his heart, and once she finally read his notes and realised he had a bad heart she back tracked. But rather than admit this she blamed the barking dog.
Anyway I questioned all this when I got to the vets and was told it was all my fault for not telling her my dcats past medical history. And the iv fluids wernt started so no harm was done. I'm so so upset with them. I shouldn't have to give my cats full history to his vets! They have it all on his notes and she didn't ask me at any point about his heart despite me mentioning his medication twice.
Now I'm at home with him, he's not eating or drinking and is so sleepy. I'm so worried about him and I feel like he's been fobbed off by the first vet! She gave me some charcoal to give him (guessing she's thinking he could be poisoned, but didn't tell me any of this!) but I can't get him to take it becuse he's not interested in anything.
I know noone can help, I just wanted a handhold because I hate feeling so helpless for my little fur baby.
