"We went to a second vet..." YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

[@stadiumarcadium2351]

The hardest part of pet ownership is finding a good vet.

[@CJ-cz3hv]

Yup, lots of them overprice and dont care about the animals at all, they torture them sometimes

[@vegetablegremlin69]

All vets are good. The job is incredibly hard and depressing at times.

[@carly727]

@@vegetablegremlin69no, not all vets are good. I know from direct experience. Just like human doctors are not all good.

[@FBooker]

@@vegetablegremlin69 That is complete and utter nonsense. Especially because the job is hard, not all of them are good.

[@breakinggames1810]

100% took me a long while till I found a vet that actually cared more about animals then money. You can really feel the difference when finding a vet that just cares

[@annarichter484]

My cat had a stroke a few years back and very similar she couldn't move. Within 24h she showed so many improvements that we decided to keep going and she fully recovered. Sometimes miracles do happen.

[@janemiettinen5176]

And cats are just little healing machines! Im a former vet tech and my vet used to say if the ends of a broken bone are in the same room, they’ll find a way to attach. As long as the cat has fight in it, there will be hope. Sadly there are still these old school vets who think cats aren’t that important, why even bother, just get a new one, but it’s definitely getting better.

[@theladyinblack3055]

@@janemiettinen5176so if a cat breaks a leg bone, how do you treat it? I'm curious. We had a cat put down upon the vet's recommendation, who had fractured her leg. We've regretted it ever since, feeling that she should have been able to heal such a. Small break. In fact, the next time we had a cat with a break, we didn't take him in - we let him heal, bringing his meals to his side and keeping him as quiet as possible, but we didn't want to lose him! He healed well - four years later he's a big, healthy, happy cat!!

[@CharGC123]

@@janemiettinen5176 I so agree! We found a cat on the highway that was hit by a car and at first seemed dead. I had to at least get him off the road, and when I moved him onto a box lid he looked up at me and made a feeble cry, but was otherwise paralyzed. Despite having no spare cash we rushed him to a vet who took one look at him and immediately wanted to put him down for an exorbitant fee. I was so torn... I didn't want him to suffer but couldn't pay the fee, plus those eyes! He looked into my soul, so I had to take him home. When we got him home I offered him water and have never seen a cat so thirsty. Shortly after he ate some food. Later we laid him gently into a warm bath and let him soak for a while to clean his poor little filthy crusted body. He was so skinny and broken! Long story short, it took lots of time and work but he eventually began to recover his mobility and was able to walk, though with balance issues and a wobble. A litter of kittens we were fostering at the time really were the best physical therapy for him! We named the sweet precious boy Dizzy, and he spent 12 more amazing years with us.

[@milanstupljanin4324]

when doctor says: "there's nothing that can be done", it actually means: "i don't know how to help you"

[@safaiaryu12]

This is true for humans as well. I've been told the same thing numerous times... then found another doctor who actually helped. I honestly think it's pride, or arrogance. They're so used to having the answers that when they don't, they assume that must mean there is no answer. Even though what they SHOULD say is, "I'm not the right person to help you, but you should try (other doctor) next.

[@joray5756]

More they refuse to TRY to find a solution. If you are that unwilling to do your job. Just quit. It just makes me wonder how many animals lost their lives and were put down at that first vet that didn't need to be?

[@newkkl]

Cats have remarkable powers of recuperation. In 2010 I found a cat hit by a car, she was paralyzed in her hind legs. Eight months later I came home from work and she walked on all fours down the hallway to greet me. Today Princess Zelda is about 15 years old and the happiest cat on the planet. She’s a warrior!

[@dawsie]

Too many Vets jump to the “put them to sleep” rather than looking into their eyes. My Ginger Tom spent 5 years fighting to live he just loved snuggling up to us when we were in bed. He had daily injections of insulin and as long as he was fighting to live we helped him in his fight. One day we came home from work and found him in the shower all messy and struggling to move, we rushed him to our vet he even came into the office after hours when we rang him. He was one of those very rare vets who wanted to help every stray that they could. We knew this day was coming, we just had hoped for longer, he was put on a drip, but we saw it in his eyes when he looked at us, it broke my heart because I was not ready to let him go. But the look he gave us said it all. He had lived on the streets for his first half of life but he knew what it was to have his very own homens who loved him and him alone. He died in our arms and we knew it was time this time around. Even Ross(vet) was sad to see him leave us. He has helped us when ever other vet we went to just wanted to put him down. One vet even miss diagnosed his gender told me he was a girl, so I had called him Missy but he refused to help on the grounds that stray cats are not worth saving 😳the second vets said it was going to take too much money to save him and the best thing for us was to cut our loses 😼 that’s when hubby decided to take him to his old family vet he lived all the way on the other side of the city but he knew Ross and knew Ross would fight just as hard to save him all the while he wanted to fight. Best move we ever did. Poor Ginger Pop cost us just a little over $5000 by the time it was time to say goodbye, but we never regretted a single penny we spent on our boy. He gave us so much love in those short 5 years he was with us and yes we spoilt him rotten with the best foods he could eat and plenty of cuddles on demand from him, we even changed our shifts at work so that 95% one of us was at home with him all the time. We still have his ashes they go with us every time we move. We have had plenty of cats since him but he was very special to both myself and my husband. All of our cats have found us and they have come into our lives just as the one who is there can show them the ropes before they cross that last bridge. We have never been without a cat or cats in our lives since that first day I went and rescued Ginger Pop from rummaging in the garbage bins 35plus years ago.

[@debbieking3575]

Ohhh bless your precious boy. He knew true love. You will always have that with you.

[@Nicole__Natalia]

Thanks for this❤❤❤

[@BooBuKittyPhuk]

Agreed... Had a stray dog jump into our backyard and caught and ripped the skin off his back leg. Called many vets and all of them said that putting him down was best and it was waaaay cheaper than the cost of stitches. That's all he needed, stitches!!! Finally found a vet that worked with us to do payments and gave us the pain meds and antibiotics for free. We ended up keeping Charlie Murphy, and he was the smartest, most amazing, sweetest dog I ever had. But yeah that's when I learned how many vets weren't animal lovers at all.

[@manyBlessings2all]

​@@BooBuKittyPhuk Bless you & Charlie Murphy & the wonderful Vet.. thank you for sharing his story & so glad he found you & was loved & cared for ❤❤❤

[@neonblkhole]

exactly!!! we might not be able to ask them but we have the empathetic capacity to tell if they aren't ready to go yet and we should respect that!! it's not our life to take

[@dolleyes5062]

Thank you so much for having faith in Faith! Instead of listening to the Vet who wanted Faith euthanized because she was paralyzed, you believed in her, helping her to believe in herself, leading to one of the greatest transformations ever and a beautiful family who loves her and vice versa, because you didn't give up and neither did she! 😇😇😇🐈🐈‍⬛🐾💗🌍🏠

[@squibbelsmcjohnson]

She wasn't paralyzed... At all

[@dolleyes5062]

@@squibbelsmcjohnson Something in Faith's past traumatized her so badly that she didn't want to walk, but instead of trying to help her, the first vet suggested euthanizing her. Thankfully, the rescuers got a second opinion and gave Faith a chance.

[@luvyatubers]

There is something shady about a vet when so quick to advise euthanasia. Such a sweet girl. Glad YOU could see she wants to live

[@katymay2611]

That's definitely true. They should always try to do what they can and offer support rather than saying it's best to euthanize.

[@sp4643]

that's what most of them do

[@chellesama8256]

Vets know that most people won't or can't afford the cost and time to rehab a stray. They also have a suicide rate 4x higher than the national average. Show them a little compassion.

[@luvyatubers]

@@chellesama8256 vets, more than anyone else, should have connections to people who do have x or money or both. Why are vets committing suicide. I've not heard about that

[@dougaldouglas8842]

Even more so when a cash register is strapped to their backs

[@triciaaw4539]

Sometimes with severe trauma there could be spinal cord swelling, leading to temporary loss of movement. Sometimes it doesn't show up on x-rays. We had an experience with an emergency vet who just couldn't wait to put our cat down. Took him home against their advice and worked with him, and like Faith, Buster fully recovered. _Always_ listen to your heart 💖 TY to Alex and Amber, and to Faith's new family - you are the _best ❣❣❣_ Earth Angels all 💞💕💗

What a beautiful story of an amazing cat, I'm glad the girls didn't give up on her an she never gave up on herself.

Listen to instinct, not the vet in these situations. Vets just want to get the money and get rid of the problem

[@marshahall3059]

To caregivers and Faith's owner, my dog and I found a small, failing cat of 10 or 12. My loving vet didn't believe she could be saved. I wanted to try. I took her home. Continued to fail until she could not move 3 days. I continued care. Her eyes moved first! Soon full recovery. I had HOPE 10 years of joy!
