Re: Amber rushed to emergency hospital


I can't believe the vets have behaved like this, to have ill advised you and to have let things get so bad. Also i have never heard of vets asking for money upfront like that, it's disgusting !
You realy must ring the cats protection number and try to get yourself some help and advise, it's an absolute priority.
I hope Amber pulls through and her kittens.

Re: Amber rushed to emergency hospital


just heardfrom the vet amber has a bacterial infection due to a build up of gas and diahorea in her tummy
was told she on a drip and 2 types of antibiotics she s very dehydrated
was told sheneeds to stay in overnight, but must bare in mind there is no one there between the hours of 10pm and 8am my other choice is to drive back to sheffield the emergency vet and pay even more some choice!
they will ring me how she is later

Re: Amber rushed to emergency hospital


Why are you taking the kittens out in the cold? Is the cat staying at the vets overnight with no one on site? and do vets do that?

Re: Amber rushed to emergency hospital


I would be asking the vets how come they didn't pick up on the severity of the problem before now.
Hopefully once she is hydrated they will be able to work on her and she will eat again.
At our vets i think someone comes in once during the night to check on admitted animals but it's not a good situation.
Have you been in touch with cats protection?

Re: Amber rushed to emergency hospital


sorry only just read this thread. Having hand reared countless numbers of kittens myself, I can only recomend that you seek out an experienced person to do it for you as it is not easy if you dont know what you are doing if the kittens are not thriving or dying then you should deffinatly get advice. CP usualy have someone who can help.
good luck H
