When my 13 years old cat, Comel
diagnosed with cancer and diabetes around 5 months ago, I was devastated. She has a lump near her breast, which growing
so quickly. So I had her to take a blood test and medical check-up (in Sitiawan
the clinic name Wondervet). But her blood test seems normal and the doctor said
she was doing fine.
So me and my sister took her to
another vet (in Ipoh the clinic name Jean Veterinary Centre) , for another
opinion. Which she stated that 90% lump appear near cat’s breast is super
malignant. So, we made an X-Ray. We found out that one of her kidney already
non-functioning. Dr made an operation appointment date on 4/1/2019. Before the operation we found that her glucose
level is too high and she was diagnosed with diabetes. But we kind of disappointed
with Dr Jean as she decided to continue the operation without stabilizing her
glucose level first. The operation cost approximately RM1k++
The next day, she suffered with
bad post operation where she vomited blood. We tried to bring her back to Jean
Veterinary Centre, but she said her clinic is closed and we can go to Ipoh
Garden Animal Clinic. Again, I was really disappointed with Dr.Jean. I mean
like she literally dumps my cat after an expensive operation and refuse to take
her back when she had a problem after charging us a 1k operation. I am not a
doctor, but I believe my cat should have right to be admitted at least 1 day
after the big operation.

Her lump test result came out as cancer
However, kudos to Ipoh Garden Clinic, Dr Ng for admitting her for 3
days, took care her glucose reading. She was doing fine until now, she has 4 new
lumps because her last operation wasn’t clean enough clearing off the lymph
node.
Of course, Dr Ng want us to stabilize her glucose reading and get her
urine test before she undergo for another operation. I am able to maintain her
glucose level where I took her glucose test for 3 days already and her reading
was 7.4, 6.7 and 4.7 and I need to take for another day. Of course, I wasn’t a
doctor or a nurse and taking her glucose level is really tough for me. Every time
would be a blood bath as I either poke her ear too softly or I over poked her
ear too deeply. I consistently apologize my Comel for hurting her.
Every time is a blood bath
Actually she looked so pity with a
shaved ear
Her urine test came out last Monday, 6/5/2019 and the result wasn’t good.
She had a blood and protein in her urine. I am devastated because she has been
through so much. I hope that sooner she will get better. I must work harder and
stay stronger for her because only God knows how much I love her. She is my
childhood pet and now after 13 years I treated her as same as my family member.
Because she wasn’t just a pet, she is a family.
