[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last Friday we took our 6 year old cat to the vet to have her teeth cleaned.  While at work, I got a phone call from the vet saying the cat had an ear infection as well as mild gingivitis.  The medication required doubled our vet bill.  A few days later, the cat started sneezing and seemed tired (even for a cat).  As the days went on, she seemed stuffy and out of it, and last night I noticed snot like fluid coming from her nose.

So at 6 am this morning, I took her to a 24 hour animal hospital.  Despite an exam plus $250 x-rays, they couldn't tell me what appears to be causing the cold symptoms.  However, they did tell me my cat has a level 3 heart murmur and needs to see an animal cardiologist.  How in the hell was this not picked up in her exam last week??  The doctors assured me none of her conditions could have been picked up during the dental cleaning and the murmur may have been easy for the other docs to miss, but I refuse to believe this is a coincidence.  My cat was perfectly happy and healthy a week ago.

I'm so mad at myself for ever taking her to the cleaning.  I just want my cat to be ok.  :cry:

I guess I just need to vent, but any btdt stories (with a happy ending) are welcome.[/quote]

OP, I am sorry. When the vet found out that you would pay for teeth cleaning, suddenly they saw $$$. Your cat probably got a cold at the vet.[/quote]
