To be honest, she's absolutely fine, she's eating fine and has been since she moved here, I never would have suspected anything unless the vet would have said anything. Her behaviour is fine, she's playing and giving kisses and cuddles as normal, which I think is why I was even more shocked last night when they said something could be wrong.
And honestly, the nurse who told us didnt mention that it could just be a virus, she just mentioned about leukaemia straight away and kept saying things like, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
I may have taken it out of context but she didnt really put us at ease in any way. If I were in her position I would have sid something like, "she has gingivitis which we'll treat with antibiotics, come back in 2 weeks and we'll see if it's gone down but if not it could be a virus. The worst case scenario could it could be is leukaemia but this is very rare etc" but she didnt do anything to reassure me and then just started going on about where leukaemia comes from etc. So I dont think she was very good really, but I mentioned to Desley before that I wasnt happy how she handled Tinky etc.
I dont mean to be awful to the nurse, she could have just been having a bad day but I'm going to ask to just see the vet from now on as she is really good and I do have a lot of faith in her. I think it's someting to watch.
Just another question though, someone mentioned about using the Metacam painkiller sparingly, why is this? Just want to know as I've been given that for Tinky and want to make sure I'm doing it properly. I just give 2 little lines on the syringe of the painkiller once a day mixed with some wet food or tuna which is what the vet has recommended. does this sound about right?
