As the end of the year approaches again, this year is particularly special to me because I have two adorable cats at home. During this Chinese New Year, due to the younger cat being too small, I decided to board them at a pet hospital together. I thought it was a proper arrangement, but unexpectedly, a nightmare was quietly coming.
About a month later, I went to pick them up with great joy, only to be greeted with heartbreaking news. Both cats had contracted fleas and feline calicivirus in the hospital. What’s worse, the doctor at that pet hospital had insufficient clinical experience. The improper medication for the younger cat caused eye allergies, and then it had a high fever. My Heizi’s condition was even more serious. In just four days, its weight dropped from over ten catties to six catties. Its fur was matted, and it neither ate nor drank. On the fifth day, the hospital called me to take Heizi home, saying that it was dying. At that moment, my world seemed to collapse. I stayed up all night, frantically searching for reputable hospitals on Weibo and Baidu. Eventually, I decided to transfer them to a new hospital.
The doctor at the new hospital found that the previous hospital had used excessive antibiotics and interferon, which had seriously affected their internal organs and made them lose their resistance. In just one month, I almost lost these two cats that I cherish so much. During that period, I cried every day. Besides praying, I didn’t know what else I could do.
Fortunately, we met a good doctor. Heizi particularly trusted this new doctor and cooperated very well with the treatment. The younger cat’s eyes recovered quickly, and it also received its first vaccine in its cat life, being able to be cute and healthy again. Although Heizi still has a poor resistance due to the delay in the previous treatment and keeps sneezing, its overall condition has stabilized and it is still being nursed slowly.
When I flipped through the notes I wrote in the early morning of February 28th when I couldn’t sleep, that heart – wrenching pain is still as clear as yesterday. I really can’t imagine what it would be like to lose Heizi. I don’t even dare to think about it. It has long become an essential and important part of my life. Every morning when I wake up and see them by my side, this feeling is so wonderful!
Thank everyone who cheered for us. Your support has given me strength. I firmly believe that we will definitely get better completely! In the future days, I will take more careful care of them, keep them away from diseases, and let them grow up happily. I also hope that through my experience, more pet owners can pay attention to the choice of pet hospitals and avoid similar tragedies. Because every pet is a precious member of our family, and their health and happiness are our greatest wishes.
