The Second Opinion

When is a second opinion warranted and how does a client go about getting one? Who should be seen for a second opinion? These are all important questions and the answers to them depend on each individual case.

When Times Are Tough

Just like their human counterparts, veterinary emergency clinics typically charge higher fees than “day” practices. Never compromise your cat’s care by foregoing a trip to the emergency hospital for a life-threatening situation, but realize that payment will need to be made, either through a credit service (like Care Credit, where a client’s good credit history is mandatory) or credit card, cash or checks when the animal is released or as a deposit if you cat is hospitalized (the bill will need to be paid in fill on the release or death of the kitty). If times are truly tough, have a heart-to-heart with family and friends and see if they will be able to loan you the money necessary for veterinary care.

Two Lives Saved

 

It’s often easy to think about what we do for our cats because we love them. However, stories such as this one show us that the human-cat bond often goes both ways, with the kitties sometimes providing the necessary nudge for many to get up each day and engage fully with life’s challenges.

Is Your Cat Stressed?

Most times, we only need to make small changes to reap big dividends for our cats. When we consider that reducing stress can result in a happier and healthier cat – and a more peaceful household for us – who among us doesn’t want to give it a go?
