I feel like my vet is taking the mickey out of me. My cat is around 15 years old Domestic Short Hair and a couple of months ago I had to take her because she was straining to pee. They diagnosed an infection and gave me medication.
She completed the course and seemed normal but she started eating less than she normally does. I took her back to the vet and they said her temperature was 1c higher than last time but she had actually gained weight, she couldn't say why my cat was eating less maybe it was the hot weather. They gave her antibiotics and anti inflammatory and told me to come today.
I went today and her weight is the same, her temperature is still 1c higher so they gave her a different course of antibiotics. They want me to go again on Weds for another checkup.
Every time I go its costing me £40-50 in consultation fees and medication. I am a full time carer for a disabled person. I only get £60 a week and they said if the temperature doesn't come down by weds then they will need blood tests and xrays which is gonna cost £300+.
Is 1c temperature out of the ordinary in a heatwave with a thick fur coat on?
