Thank you, or good wishes would do for him :)

If you feel they did wrong, or should I say, you know they did wrong, then yes complain, report it, and hopefully it may save another pets life. It's horrible what you've been through, and I hope you get it sorted [@Happygirl], sorry I have no idea who to go or what to do next.
@Happygirl
Got this link from citizens advice.
We have made a complaint about the care of our beloved Cat, as many other things happened that I cannot divulge on here, that should never have happened to anyone or any animal, will keep you all updated, and if it saves another little feline then it would have been worth it.
@nabob @Pinkaholic79 ๐๐ฆ๐บ @Janet ๐๐ฐ๐๐น @harryflatters @Tanith @roz @renatew5๐บ๐ถ and anyone interested
So sorry to hear of Skippy's passing. You were brilliant and did all you could for him.๐
Sorry [@Happygirl] he'll be watching you both now with his mamma. Hugs to you both.
So sad. So sorry for your loss. As Janet said our pets are part of our families. Love to you and hubby. Skippy is not suffering any more and will be happy and pain free, as others have said, over the Rainbow Bridge.

SKIPPY HAS PASSED AWAY,
He was 6 years old and we had been up with him all night, no one was answering the emergency vets telephone and so he then had a stroke from vomiting, he was in my husbands arms all of the time and at 8.30 am the vet let him go to rainbow bridge to find his Mamma,
Thank you all for being there โฅ
Perhaps the young 'Lady Vet' was not fully qualified and still learning. Usually they have string of letters after their names once qualified. It takes 7 years to become a vet. I just hope that it is not the 'C' and perhaps an operable cyst or something the little Kitty swallowed, perhaps a toy or very large fur ball, an X-ray would/could tell. I just hope that everything goes in the Kitty's favour. Hang in there, @Happygirl
WHAT THEY FOUND ON THE SCAN......................
Well he had the expensive scan so it all came to approx ยฃ347.32 pence but he is so worth it and so far we have paid up to date.
It is a solid mass in the stomach.
They took a fine needle aspiration and are sending it off to the lab as 60% pf the time they can tell if it is cancer, that will be another ยฃ100 when it comes back, although they still say due to his age they do not think it will be cancer as that would be a rarity.
However a few of his lymph nodes are slightly raised, what that means i have no idea! I wish they explained things more clearly.
He had to have sedation too, he was so wobbly when he came home, we kept him in the lounge for fear he might try to jump up somewhere out of our sights.
They also gave him a tablet, to stimulate his appetite as he has not been eating, just licking his pate food and it sure worked, he ate like he has never eaten before but i made sure he didn't over do the eating, but i was so proud of him.
You see members,
Apart from the mass then he is his normal self, you know, wanting to do all the things he used too but just finds it difficult , yes he is quieter and sleeping much more and his appetite went down the pan but he is a fighter and hubby says he deserves a chance.
Hubby said if he was just laying there with no will and in acute pain then he would have him put to sleep but he feels that he deserves the best treatment as he has given us some of the best times of our lives and his.
I do not believe in making an animals life misery or prolonging it, if they are in pain etc and much kinder to have them put to sleep but like the vet said and from what we can see then he is not in much pain at all. Just so uncomfortable.
HOWEVER,
If the lab comes back with cancer then, we will discuss with the vet about that.
Maybe take him home, pamper him, make his last day his best ever but NOT leave it until he is in pain etc etc.
Oh blimey i am crying again, sorry to go on folks, just letting you all know, once again thank you all for being there for us. โฅ

@Happygirl thanks for letting us know of the results. Please know we are here when you are ready. Again thanks for all your info. More prayers arriving with you.... x
Thank you @Janet ๐๐ฐ๐๐น @roz @nabob @Pinkaholic79 ๐๐ฆ๐บ @Flossy ๐ง๐ง for your kind thoughts and wishes. Blood test came back inflammation, so we asked well what does that mean and they said anything from tummy upset to something else so that blood test didn't really do anything. He is still very black eyed, eating little bits but is so quiet and not right. We will see how it goes so i wont be on as much as too much going on at the moment with life in general but will do the daily figures for you all.
[@Happygirl] hoping my prayers reach little kitty. โค๏ธ๐ Thinking of you.x
@Happygirl think ing of you. My prayers go out for your little cat.
So sad. Thinking of you all. xxxx๐
Get well soon kitty, sending you some cuddles ๐
Hubby is in an awful state as they are so close and he even waits outside the bathroom door for him
