I am not going to write about Destiny. I'm really upset about it.
Anyway, Mist was returned.
It's a long story.
Basically, a few days after she was adopted, she developed some sort of bumps on her ear.
Her new family took her to the vet and gave her some surolan. Less than 2days later, the bumps hadn't disappeared, and they took her back. From what I know, they were told the bumps could be either a reaction to earmite treatment (she was given Revolution a few days before she was adopted), or some autoimmune condition. Heather suggested it might also be a reaction to flea bites, and when I had originally heard he symptoms, it sounded to me like maybe she'd just scratched her ear too vigorously.
Anyway, they wanted to return her. &they kind of laid a bit of guilt on me...she told me how her daughter was heartbroken and had been crying all day, and she wanted to talk to Fern (which, I can only guess means complain). They were told it would take a $400 biopsy to confirm, or they could wait two weeks. They chose to exchange her for another kitten.
So, I'm pretty pissed. Because guess fucking what. Less than 24h later, the scab on her ear is gone, and try as I might, I can't see any wound or feel any alleged bump. At least it took her about 30s to lie down and try to nurse from Chai. &omg, she is being such a little sweetheart.
But I am a little pissed that this woman who could apparently not wait 2 days to see Mist, also could not wait more than 36 hours for her ear to clear up, and could not wait 2 weeks to see if she'd be all right...nor could they wait one day to get a new kitten.

OMG. The rescue didn't give her another kitten, did they???? There's NO WAY that woman should have another kitten OR get her money back.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, I know they were going to see another kitten after they dropped Mist off.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I definitely felt really bad for them. But when I saw Mist...and I saw it was just some small scabs on her ear, kittens get sick and into trouble all the time, and I definitely felt like they were overreacting.
Tbh, I am pissed off at the vet. I don't know why he would tell them to google this obscure condition, but I'm guessing maybe he did so after numerous "what else could this be" questions. It seems to me, like maybe the wound on her ear was just being aggravated by the surolan and constant attention. They left it with me, and I didn't bother giving it to her. 24 after it being left alone, there's nothing there...
I just wanted to add, that given the benefit of the doubt, maybe her ear did look much worse - but then wouldn't it have been looking much better? Anyway, I just think it sucks that they returned her, when if they had just waited one more day, everything would've worked out.
ReplyDeleteAt least you've had some interest in your kittens- and even success adopting out other ones. I've had my four since early June and haven't even had one request for info on them!
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry about Destiny. poor little girl.
kb: Hang in there and take a look again at your pictures and bios that are posted. It's always possible that you might need some updated, clearer shots?
