My experience has also lead to the death of my beloved pet. It was a Monday and my *** was not eating and was not himself. He just slept the whole day. The next day, I took him to Ballito Vet and they advised that he had a virus that was "going around" and gave him an injection and some tablets. The next day he seemed fine but by Friday, he was showing the same symptoms. I took him back on Sunday and they advised he had relapsed. Another injection! When I took him home, he could not get out of the car and just slept in the car for a few hours. Over the next week he seemed fine until he displayed the same symptoms. I took him to Westville vet. Within an hour my them doing tests and x rays/scan on him, they advised he had cancer . At that point they could not determine the extent and said they had to do more scans and wait for the specialist to come in the next day. At 11:30 on a Tuesday, I got a call for the vet to ask me to come in urgently. I was told that the lumps on his stomach had burst and the cancer had spread and it was too late to contain it etc. Chemo was a suggestion but the stress, pain and suffering my pet would have endured, would not have been something I could put him through. This is something I live with everyday - wondering if Ballito Vet took the time to examine and do x rays on him, and not just dismiss my concerns by saying " its a relapse" , probably my pet would have had a chance and still be alive today.
