Have you ever had to take your cat(s) to the emergency vet?

Wow, depsressing QODs Mel! Unfortunately the couple of times I've had to take a kitty to the ER Vet there was nothing that could be done and I lost a baby. First time was New Year's Eve 2000. Lost my sweet little Poe-Bug from a liver shunt.

Yes, when Eddie bit the tip of his tail to the bone. We called at 9:30 p.m. and our vet was babysitting, and she STILL went in to the office to meet with us and Eddie. :thumbsup: He had to have emergency surgery to remove his tail.

Yes, Motley a couple of years ago when she got ill over the holiday weekend and deteriorated really quickly.
They said it was probably her liver, and I was so upset when I got home without her that I bought a bottle of wine so I could abuse my OWN liver in sympathy!
After many tests the vet diagnosed hepatitis - and after a week at the vets on IV fluids and a course of steroids and antibiotics, she's now the picture of health again! :)
