Dawn I'm so sorry to hear that the  :censored: vet have treated Jasmine in this way.......it makes me so angry when they are the ones supposed to be helping to make them at least feel better and more comfortable.........I'm glad you made the decision to take Jasmine home with you then at least she can be kept warm and comfortable and be with someone she knows is a caring person

I'm sorry to hear that she has to be Pt's - the only consolation if thats the right word is she will be all well again and have so, so many friends waiting for her that also shared your love and kindness before they went to the bridge too

I know I only know your from Purrs but am very proud to speak to friends  about you and others on here that should be so proud of all the good you do

Will be thinking and praying for a miracle tomorrow

Any news on Jasmine Dawn? - I can't believe how heartless some vets can be  >:( - poor little girl. They shouldn't be practicing if they begrudge her a 20p pouch of food and a few pence worth of electric - I know you would have paid them anyway. We had a similar case last year (can't name names) where the cat was left in a cage with a broken pelvis without any meds as it was a stray and the vet wouldn't do anything without knowing it would be paid for - luckily Sharon stepped in.

Fingers crossed for her  :hug: :ahh:

Jasmine's still pretty much the same if not worse.  She's hardly eating so top ups are needed for her.  I had a chat with Sean yesterday and he said I should have a chat with the owner, but he said she should have had heat and food at least and I had a right to be upset about the whole thing.

How awful!  Poor Jasmine and poor you.  I think it is disgraceful that she was left without food which is an important part of any recovery process in us all.  Also without heat.  I would complain to your usual vet about the treatment and would certainly balk at paying them for the care they were supposed to give her.

It is encouraging that she is eating a little and drinking at home.  Hope she keeps it up and hope that when you see your regular vet his prognosis is better than the emergency one's (who I think tend to err on the side of caution to cover themselves).

Bless the little girl and hope she is feeling better today.  Bless you too Dawn for caring for her and sticking up for her when she can't do so for herself.

The annoying thing is I will be forking out for emergency hours prices and for what  >:(  >:(  If she got the care she needed, I honestly wouldn't mind, I asked them to do whatever needed doing but feeding obviously wasn't included in the price.  I think if she'd have come home last night, she may have been in with a better chance but with no food for another day has just made her weaker, I am still so angry with the  :censored:  The other thing that I can't quite understand is when I went in last night she'd had fluids so wasn't as dehydrated, why on earth didn't they get a line in her then instead of trying to get one in her today when she was flat again  :mad2:  The more I think about it, the more wound up it makes me so I'm going to go and try and get some kip and fingers crossed she'll still be okay when I get up  :wish:

Poor Jasmine - I don't blame you for feeling that way either Dawn I think I would be livid! The amount vets are paid by us to look after our animals the very least they deserve is to be treated with some respect and given a good amount of comfort and care.

Sending positive vibes for Jasmine and I hope she can defy the vets and that her condition turns around for the better.  :hug: to you, and :ahh: to Jasmine xxxxxx

I've moved her into the hospital cage now and she's having a long drink of water  :Luv:  I'm trying to think positive although it doesn't look good but I think her being in the vets hasn't helped.  I know it's a weekend but that shouldn't make any difference to how your animals are treated, I wonder if her outcome would have been better if she'd have gone in in the week  >:(  >:(

Dont blame you for being hacked off DD, I would be too.  Ofcourse its important to have them kept warm, fed and as comfortable as possible.  To say that it would make no difference to whatever she thinks the condition is, is just rubbish as far as i am concerned, we pay vets good money to look after our animals.

I tried syringing her earlier and she was chewing at the syringe trying to get the food so obviously starving.  I put some food in a saucer and she had a little which is encouraging.  I'm going to get Sean to look at her xrays tomorrow but she's not going back in unless she has to.  I'm too  :censored: off with them tbh and I only hope I can keep my cool tomorrow when I pick the rta cat up.  If it's a mass Elaine, it's a case of her getting worse  :sad no:  :sad no:  In the vets her breathing was terrible and the vet said it was because she had pressure on her lungs but since coming home, her breathing isn't as bad.  I've got her in a carrier with the top off it for now, with a snugglesafe and wrapped in blankets to keep her warm, she was so cold in the vets and that was another thing that hacked me off  >:(  >:(  She had no heat mat and the vet said the heater was on anyway and the heat again wouldn't make any difference to her condition  :mad2:  :mad2:  :mad2:  Is it me, and am I being too fussy but if someone was really ill or dying, would they like to be warm, comfortable and with food in their tum or no food and no heat  :Crazy:  :Crazy:  Yes, there was a heater in there but the cage bottoms are metal, Jasmine's blood isn't getting round because she's very dehydrated so she's going to be colder than normal, sorry I'm just so  :censored: off with the lot of them.

Oh Dawn, how can they say it wouldnt have made any difference,  :censored: vets, of course she needs her food , water and lots of love .

I understand how you feel, two weeks a go when i visited Boy in surgery he had no water and i askedthe nurse , i was told there is food there and he keep knock against the water bowl and make the cage wet!!?  >:( I just went and got a bawl and left it for him.

What is the matter with this people >:(

I am sure Jasmine feels safe at home with you looking after her, specially at this time of year , you can always rush her back if you have to.

I really hope she improves by tomorrow. :hug: :hug:

The same surgery but Sean isn't on this weekend, he knows I would kill him if he treated her like that.  They are adamant now she has a mass round her heart and this is the end of the road as she'll just get worse so fingers crossed, they're wrong and then they can  :censored:

Jasmine isn't good at all and I just hope I'm not making her suffer.  I'm absolutely fuming with the vets and although I bit my tongue abit, couldn't hold back all together.  When I went to see her last night, she was still groggy so she'd had no food in her cage which was understandable.  The other vet said they'd give her some later when she was more awake, I told the receptionists not to let them forget to which she replied "Well, we're not going to starve her are we"  :censored:  :censored:  When I spoke to the vet today, I asked if Jasmine had eaten to which she replied no, she hadn't touched any.  When I went in after work to pick her up, there was no food in her cage anyway  :censored:  :censored:  :censored:  :censored:  :censored:  I am absolutely  :censored: livid.  I started crying as soon as I saw, I know she may not have eaten it but the fact is she didn't have the option.  The vet tried telling me it wouldn't have made any difference and it's the least of her worries..........what the  :censored: does she know.   Anyone knows, if you're feeling crap, and you've not eaten, you are going to feeling even worse.  If she's going to die, I want her to die on full tummy and not  :censored: starving to death, she hasn't had anything to eat in two days minimum so she's really going to get her strength up.  Sorry for ranting, I'm going to try and get some food down her and take it from there.

It sounds like bad news for Jasmine.  They've had another look at her xrays and her heart has a line going round it and it's not the right shape.  I'm really peed off at the vets, I don't know why this wasn't noticed yesterday.  They seem to think she now has a mass.  She won't eat or drink and she's very dehydrated so they can't get bloods or get a line in her.  I'm going up there now to pick her up and bring her home.  At least this way I can try and syringe her and see how she gets on, if she's left in the vets she's going to die anyway so she'll have a chance at home, although a slim one by the sounds of it.

I've been in this evening to see Jasmine and it's hard to tell really how she was as she was sedated earlier on so was still groggy.  Her x rays haven't really shown anything but she's very dehydrated so they've given her fluids.  They tried to get her on a drip but she was very flat and couldn't raise a vein.   She had a couple of sips of water whilst I was there and they are going to monitor over the weekend, fingers crossed she'll be okay. 

Des, Jasmine is the little tortie feral that is in love with Billy, I'll try and find a pic of her later.

I've spoken to the vets and Jasmine seems a little bit calmer than she was, they were talking about putting her in the Oxygen tank but will see how she gets on.  If she's the same in the morning, they will do x rays to see if anything shows up.  Poor little babe is really only used to us so will be totally freaked out   :'(  When anything happens, it always seems to be a  :censored: weekend when I have to be in work  :censored:
