Any veterinarians here? my cat was diagnosed with pneumonia, stayed two days in the clinic and when I got him back his leg was soft kinda like a inanimate plush doll, I waited 3 days and took him there again asking for a explanation and they told me that due to his lack of oxygen from the pneumonia his leg didn't get enough blood or some shit like that. Does that make any sense or I'm just getting bullshited

Get a second opinion from another vet if you have suspicions about your current vet. You'd do it for your personal doctor wouldn't you?

literally spent all my month's payment with meds for the cat and bills, a second opinion isn't free here
Which leg was it? Has there been any improvement since you got him back?

leg from the back, left one. just a little bit better, less flaccid but he doesn't touch teh ground that much

I'd certainly be worried about the apparant lack of concern from your vet. The fact that they released him to you like that, without even telling you there was an issue there, rings big alarm bells. It's something that really needs asessing further, no hospital would just send you home with with an unresponsive limb and expect you to just rest it off. I'm no expert, but loss of blood flow so severe there was some sort of nerve or muscle damage is a pretty big deal. At the very least it needs to be looked at to tell how badly affected the limb is, whether your cat will be able to regain full use of it, and whether it needs further treatment such as physiotherepy to help that process.
As >>2030407 said, you really need a second opinion. It souldn't cost you much for him to be checked over, but if he needs further treatment you can't avoid that. There are humane societies that help people on low incomes or who are stuggling financially, have a look to see whats available in your aria.

I'll try to get a second opinion

Hind... I thought so. They may have fucked up and hit the sciatic nerve while giving an injection.

I'll mention this to the vet, i was playing with him a little bit today and when I touched the healthy paw he moved it out of the way as usual but the injured one he didn't, maybe he doesn't even feel it properly?
update, second vet told me it's very likely caused by an injection and not the bullshit they told me, will have to give medication for 7 days and physiotherapy 3 times a day

Is it even possible to litigate against something like that?
>>2033862
i have no idea
>>2033843
Holy shit I would be so mad. I hope your cat improves fast anon.
No, there are no vets here. they all would rather watch your cat die of urinary tract blockage and keep saying take it to the vet! take it to the vet! instead of trying to help.

Prime b8 m8. Alas, if only we could unblock cats via the internet.

Sorry that happened mate, hope your cat recovers. Good luck, post an update later this week if you think of it.
>>2033843
Sue the shit out of them.
Then burn it down just to be sure.
>>2035238
nothing really to update, i have to call the vet and tell him it's impossible to do the physiotherapy by myself, when he did it it seemed so easy the cat didn't even react but just touching his paw now and he almost bites me, plus he constantly moves so i might make it even worse, i'll have to figure out a way to do this
