Brought my 2 YO Cat in for excessive breathing 120 bresthes per minute vs 40-60 avg. He was making a choking sound, and the first thing the vet said it was probably from the car ride... Yeah, that's why I brought him in, because the car ride he wasn't in before was causing excess breathing, dur... She acted like a salesperson with the x-rays and blood tests which my mother ate up, said the vlcat probably had asthma, which in my entire life and 6 cats later never heard of before, but she insists is "common" lucky for them that's $170 to check! Left with no diagnoses and told I would hear about blood tests in the morning. It's been 3 days... If my Cat died if something that could've been diagnosed early and treated (which today he's gotten worse, but we've been waiting on that call). They'll be hearing from my lawyer so fast their "tails" will spin.
