Unprofessional. Cat lost a leg due to bad examination and treatment.
In 2016 cat of my partner fell from a 2nd floor. Doctor diagnosed that 2 legs (front and back) were broken. He made an x-ray, identified multiple fractures and was decided to place fixation mechanism on both legs. Partner did his best in preventing cat from moving, especially jumping and doing anything that would hurt him. Cat was taking painkillers the whole treatment. I cannot recreate now the whole sequence of actions, but seing that situation was only getting worse, was advised to amputate front leg... And it was done.
In 2017 i moved in and admitted that every time when cat jumped or walked his joints/bones were making a very bad sound. Combined with limping it made a bad impression. We went to the doctor to discuss my concerns. He did a general check and simply adviced to feed him a bit differently. Unsatisfied we went to another clinic, where we did another x-ray and more detailed examination. It revealed that the cat had 3 legs broken from the every begging (both front and 1 back) and it cancelled all efforts done from the beginning with a fixating mechanism. As it wasn't identified earlier, and fractured bones were very small, fragile and already deformated, we couldn't do anything at this stage... Poor creature was suffering whole this time from unbelievable pain, his right leg was amputated and he had to step on completely broken another leg!
We contacted prothésiste and other clinics to see what could be done, but it was too late... My partner trusted this doctor and followed his advice. It was a mistake with a high price.
Please, think twice!.. Adequate examination from the beginning is very important..
