Ms. Lan, a citizen of Wuhan, has a beloved pet cat. In February this year, her cat suddenly developed gastrointestinal diseases after sterilization. What Ms. Lan never expected was that she died of cat plague not long after she sent the cat to the animal hospital for treatment, which made Ms. Lan unacceptable.
After sterilization, blue cats vomited and diarrhea.
Recently, Ms. Lan, a citizen of Wuhan, called the Jimu news hotline to report that her pet cat died of cat plague only half a month after sterilization. In this regard, Ms. Lan is very sad and can’t accept this fact.
In January this year, Ms. Lan, who lives in Wuhan Donghu High-tech Zone, accepted a 5-month-old blue cat presented by a friend. When she brought it home, this lovely cat lived with her day and night, which made her very fond of it. In February of this year, Ms. Lan wanted to sterilize this blue cat, so she searched for an animal hospital with a high online rating near her home.
On February 16th, Ms. Lan took Blue Cat to this animal hospital on the date of appointment in advance, and prepared for sterilization. The operation went smoothly, and Ms. Lan took the blue cat home that day and took good care of it. But what Ms. Lan didn’t expect was that her beloved blue cat had problems the next day after one night.
"In those two days, the blue cat has been suffering from diarrhea, vomiting all day, and can’t eat food. It looks very distressing." Ms. Lan told Jimu journalist that on February 19th, she came to the animal hospital again with her blue cat. The doctor told her that it was a normal reflection that the cat’s resistance would decrease after sterilization. This blue cat may have gastroenteritis and needs intravenous drip for anti-inflammation.
After receiving hospital treatment, on February 20th, Blue Cat’s physical condition improved obviously.
The owner is sad to die of cat plague.
Unfortunately, a week later, Ms. Lan found that the blue cat had symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting and inability to eat. On February 27th, Ms. Lan took Blue Cat to the animal hospital again. After being examined by the animal doctor, Blue Cat suffered from cat plague. The next day, Blue Cat was admitted to this animal hospital for treatment.
However, just one day later, the bad news came from the animal hospital: the blue cat was dying and had to undergo blood transfusion to continue observation and treatment. Ms. Lan told reporters that the animal hospital said on March 1 that there was no other treatment except blood transfusion.
On the same day, Ms. Lan immediately picked up the blue cat and prepared to be transferred to hospital for treatment. But what she never expected was that on the morning of March 2, Blue Cat was on the way to hospital for treatment and died unfortunately. In the days that followed, Ms. Lan cremated and buried the blue cat, which was extremely sad.
"I can’t figure out what I did wrong half a month after Blue Cat was sterilized." In an interview with a reporter, Ms. Lan questioned this animal hospital. "During the hospitalization of Blue Cat, the information provided by the doctor was very unclear. She only sent me some videos of it and told me that Blue Cat was in poor health."
Ms. Lan said that when she heard the news of Blue Cat from the doctor for the last time, she was seriously ill and needed blood transfusion treatment, which was like a clear sky, which made her suddenly unacceptable. "If the doctor clearly informed me of every step of the treatment process, I would also have the opportunity to transfer Blue Cat to a more professional hospital for treatment, and this life might be saved." Ms. Lan said.
Pets must be hospitalized separately.
At the same time, Ms. Lan told reporters that she was very dissatisfied with the actions of the animal hospital during the hospitalization of the blue cat after suffering from cat plague. Not only in the process of physical examination of the blue cat, it is not carried out separately from other pets in the hospital, but also the blue cat is placed in a house with sundries for hospitalization, which will increase the risk of blue cat infection with cat plague.
Recently, Jimu journalists went to the animal hospital with Ms. Lan. The doctor said that Ms. Lan did not conduct antibody testing with them before sterilization of the blue cat. In this regard, Ms. Lan said that she had vaccinated the blue cat two months ago. She believed that the blue cat probably suffered from cat plague in the animal hospital.
With the intervention of a high-profile journalist, on the same day, the animal hospital agreed that the doctor at that time would compensate Ms. Lan for the 2,000 yuan treatment fee she had paid before.
Afterwards, a journalist interviewed Wuhan Small Animal Protection Association. The staff of the association said that for pets, the incubation period of cat plague is long, unlike some surgical diseases, which is convenient for anatomical judgment. Therefore, animal medical institutions must treat and maintain pets separately according to whether they have diseases or similar diseases.
The staff also said that there is a risk of infection in animal medical institutions, and owners must conduct antibody testing or vaccination in a timely and comprehensive manner before sending their pets to medical institutions for surgery or treatment. In addition, the owner is also requested to choose a regular animal medical institution for his pet as far as possible.
