I didnt know that either had a website Rosella so will check now.
The Gower is my current vets and have used them since I had Misa ands Sasa. Its a small but lovely practise and Richard and Rachel are there. They are used by CP and thats why I knew about them. They handle the cats so well due to the standards that Richard has set and one vert could be introuble I reckon!
Gower gave me the number of St James when Sasa was ill a year ago and becuase I have to trap her..........no time scale known! and as I have an hours drive also I could not get to the Gower before they closed and they wouldnt wait for me.
So rang St James and they said as long as Gower were happy they would see Sasa and Jamey the vet was great and handled SAsa well until she bit him LOL. Because I rang around 1130 it was in normal hours on a Saturday. In nov I need renal buscuits for Franta after the Gower ran out and got them from St James and at that time was asked if I wanted to register Franta so I did and they alsi regisrerd Ducha and Misa.
But despite this last night I was givem the run around by the emergency vet there until I told her that if Franta died ion my way home I would know where to come! She then said if I would take litigation against them, she would take Franta in.
Very very nasty and got another load of
when I got their about professional ethics etc etc which is all just garbage,
When I told Rachel she said there was an agreement of non-poaching between the two but I didnt want a poaching situation , just Franta safe and under observation for the night cos I wasnt sure I could get him hom if he had another serious fit.
Rachel has now said that the fits seem to be coming after he has been moved but its still too early to tell if there is a pattern and certainly that wasnt the case when they started but she is now concerned about his BP which can cause blindness and he showing signs of retinal damage and think more since last night....probably the very bad fit he had in the car..........and also a stroke and brain damage. So she doesnt want him moved around any more either now.
So no I have never had St James as my vets only in an emergency and there are known issues uts coming out now cos Rachel told me today that people around the surgery where trying to use St James as the emergency place rather than go to Vets Now which is on the other side od Swansea....St James is only 15 mins away.
So I am waiting for Rachels call again and will do a search on St James cos they are a group practice.
Concerning the MRI scan Franta cannot be transported and yesterday before this was known, it was decided that the expense and trauma to Franta on any journey was not worth the possible outcome, which just may show that he has a brain tumour that would be treated as they are trying to traet him now.
I have so many mixed emotions about all of this as does Rachel cos from a professional point of view she would love to know what is going on inside his head becuase she says his symptoms are very unusual and do not match any that are known all together but still have to look at Koshkas links.
