I'm so frickn bummed. Not about the 1600 buck, about my cat. He's 2 years old and the ole herpes virus decided to take over his body and drill a focking hole in his eyeball through the cornea. The doc said, one more day and his eye would have burst. The stupid vet that I bought him to 2 weeks ago gave me a cream to put on his eyes that did nothing, and they knew he was sick, he's been in there 2 times for devistating colds and eye problems with gunk. Now they even suggested he might have herpes and never told me that it could develop into herpes mining a focking hole into his eyeball. For Christs sake. I should sue for neglegence shouldn't I? :mumble:
Anyhow, brought him to an eye specialist for pets (booming business mind you) and he told us bad news after bad news and my wife lost it and I thought it was the end. But in a ray of hope and almost $1700 in cash and 6 different medications plus micro surgery to repair the cornea and there was a 90% chance of saving the eye. Oh and the bastards (virus) started drilling a focking hole in his other eye as well, but not nearly as bad. He stated that there are 300 cell layers or so before the middle eye or something, and anyhow, one more cell layer and the eye would have burst. So, throw Prince some respect and wish him a speedy recovery and smack him down a prayer or 2, he's hurtin so bad. I HATE VIRUSES.

Ohhhhh...Poor little guy. Hope he recovers from that. It doesn't look like a whole lot of friggin fun.

 

[slcpunk21]

awww man, I hate seein animals that are hurtin like this... but good thing he's got great owners that take care of him (wish I could say the same about that crappy vet you all had)

Good luck little guy! Hope he makes a full recovery!

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Thanks man, I'd sell my house to save that cat. I've never had such an intellegent, curtious, intuitive cat in my life. He just loves people. He's like a dog. Never had a Siamese before. Love that cat. Worth $1650 to save his eyeball? Yep, he'd do it for me if he had the cash. Besides he's special and needed. He's been sending transmissions daily back to the mother ship about human behavior patterns. Now that $$ was supposed to go towards my Brooklyn FQ but at least I was able to send them 1/2 the money. I'll have it by December

Oh man that just broke my heart...poor kitty...I'd do it in a heartbeat if it were my kitty. I love her so much. I hope Prince has a full speedy recovery...My Zakk sends her best for a speedy recovery too...

Incompetant Vets deserve a swift, hard punch to the nuts.

Best wishes to the cat.

Poor kitty. I do wish him the best! Good luck!

 

[The Kadvang]

Awww poor cat. Good luck on that and I hope he comes through fine, sounds like he will.

 

[punkassean]

And to think some people on RM condone killing small animals that are in pain via blunt force trauma. I wish your kitty a speedy recovery, he looks like he's hurtin' in those pics. I have more sympathy for distressed animals than I do for people, is something wrong with me? Pets are worth it!

 

[surfinguru]

Knuck, hope your cat the best. Your story brought back the memory of one of my moms cats. Some A-hole thought it would be cool to shoot the poor thing with a BB gun. Well, they shot it all right. Shot it right in the phocking eye! :angry: Poor thing had to have the eye removed . I spent a good long while (several days over a week or two) crusing the neighborhood on my bike listening for the sound of a bb gun. I swear, if I would've found out who did that, well, it wouldn't have been pretty.

Right on man, I'd rather see a human get nailgunned to death than a cat get a hangnail.

If I ever see anyone harm a cat or dog, it will be a world renown event. I'm talking mass bloodshed and massacre beyond epic proportion. Animals (domestic) are helpless and rely on humans for survival. Animals have to build trust in you, then some as***le comes along and shoots your cats eyeball out. I'd gouge that as****es eyes out with a stick, seriously. Think of the animals for fu**s sake. If they don't have trust, they have nothing, but try telling that to someone with no conscience, they just don't get it. I killed a squirrel with a BB gun when I was younger. I still feel it's pain. I could kill a human and feel far less remorse. Animals are innocent, humans are not.

[Curiouscaptian01]

sorry about the cat...

I dislike cats very much, so another choice you have is to cell the cat to a blind kid in a wheel chair. Tell him the cat will be just fine.

 

[BMXman]

hmm...here's to a speedy recovery....btw you shoud look into pet insurance...it's cheap and totally worth it....D

 

[Velocity Girl]

Hope you kitty has a full and speedy recovery.

 

[kranked5]

maybe you should talk to other people who went to the ****ty vet, maybe they had bad experiences there as well. maybe file a lawsuit as a group just to force them out of business?

and best of luck to your cat!!

 

[Knuckleslammer]

The thing about this vet is that they are much better than the other one I went to. They will see you right away. When I brought him 2 weeks ago, they did the drop test in his eye and shut off the lights and used that special light that made his eyes glow green or blue. The whole eye was blue or green which is good, which meant nothing was wrong other than a little conjunctivitis (SP?)
Two weeks later, same test, this time the eye was glowing but had a black dot, which was the hole. So it's not really their fault. They ran the test 2x, in two weeks. Had I known that a virus could bore a ****ing hole in his eye so fast, I would have brought him much sooner. I'm so upset at myself now. I was bugging my wife for 4 days to bring him back. I should have done it myself. One more day and his eye would have been done. He hates that lampshade thing on his head. He has 6 medications. 1 antibiotic (oral), 2 antiviral (oral) , L-lysine crushed up in his food, and 2 other eye drops. The orals go in 2x a day and the drops go in every 2 hours the first day and 4 hours today. My wife is spent. It's a nightmare giving him his meds and it's like he doesn't trust us now. We're wondering if we should have put him to sleep as he looks so bad and sad. But like I say, the doc said 90% success rate for the operation, but as far as the herpes and his eyes, it's a life long thing. Anytime he gets a cold, we're gonna have to use that $150 medicine for his eyes and it's $50 a month for the other oral antiviral that I believe he has to have for the rest of his life. However, if his eyes get back to normal, the pain will have been worth it. F the money, like I said, I'd sell everything I own to keep that cat. You can't understand that unless you've been around this cat. I've had cats that I diddn't really care too much about, but this guy is like a human in a cat suit. Best cat by far I've ever owned. I liked him so much, we bought another Siamese (King, named by my 7y/o girl ) who is 6 months old. You've seen pics of him on here. Poor cat, puts me almost in tears whenever I look at him. He's got stitches on his eyeball, had some graft in the cornea (using same synth tissue that they use for humans) and his eyelid is stitched shut. Wife said he opened his eye slightly last night, the stitched one and she said it looked good. I'm sure he'll never look the same though :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: with that eye. I hope it's still the blue color that it was. Oh well, as long as he can see out of it and live a semi-normal life. He's only 2 years old, the poor guy. I wish I could put all of those viruses in a vile, pour gas on it and watch it burn. That's what pissses me off about life, stuff like that. Little tiny things that can ruin your life and you have no control over it. PURE EVIL those ****ing things are. BASTARDS, leave my cat alone.

much love to the kitty

 

[RideND]

Well I hope the cat is okay, but on a side note.....

I would never spend 1600 on a pet. Sorry to sound like an ass but I just dont like them that much and that is a whole lot of money.

 

[BMXman]

1600 is a bargain...for the amount of joy and love a pet can bring to your life....JMO....D

It's so sad and hurtful to watch your pet suffer...but once it's all over, you will be glad you didn't put him down...he's healthy and young...he will bounce back...You just wish it was YOU going through it instead of them...

some phuckers I work with had 3 rottweillers...each one of them got some form of cancer or another and one was like 11 and the other two were ten...they put them through 10 grand worth of operations at that age...one of them had a really really agressive cancer and there was a 95% chance it would come back...these idiots had this 150 lb 10 year old dogs leg amputated just to prolong it's life for their selfish reasons for another 2 months...it was so sad watching this huge old dog try to learn to walk on 3 legs...these poor dogs went through all this surgery at such an old age, to just die shortly after...so sad...

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Thanks for the kind words. As for those dogs, I would have shot those people and euthanized the dogs myself somehow. JERKS.

Yeah it was messed up...I, like you, feel there is no dollar amount that would stop me from having my cat cared for...IF the chances were good for her survival and happiness...because they do forget eventually...but these poor phucken dogs...they were so old for rotts and to put them through all that was just horrific. I wanted to slap the sh it outta both of them...

My cat is prone to ear infections...the first few times you put the drops in her ears she forgets before the next time what you are doing...but then she's onto me about the third day or so and she tries to dodge me and get away and then it sounds like I'm killing her...she won't even come to me unless I'm sleeping...then when it's all done after a few days she warms up to me again and starts following me around like my little shadow...she's so cute.

I had to tackle her the other day in front of my house...shes usually in but likes to go in the backyard or garage and will usually stay there...well she got out front and I wanted her in so she wouldn't go in the street...she tried to run up the tree but by the time I got to her she couldn't quite manuever around the branches out of my way, so she jumped and ran to the flower bed along the front of the house and I literally had to almost tackle her...she clawed the crap outta me and I was covered in dirt and sticks and cat hair, but I was like IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD KITTY! she went to bed and ignored me all night... damn cat...but I'd rather that than have her smeared on the street.

I hope the kitty gets better fast...And doesnt suffer too much. YOU are a good man Knuckleslammer

Thanks man, everyday at work I cringe all day, worrying that he's gonna be when I get home. My wife is leaving every 2 hours from work today to give him his meds, he's on 6 of em. I feel so bad, when we put the lampshade on, all he does is look straight up at the ceiling as it rubs on his chin. We take it off when we are in the same area as him, but last night he started motioning his paw over his bad eye when the thing was off so we had to put it back on. Poor guy. Phucking kills me to see him like that. If I could take his place, I'd do it in a second, seriously.
