Goth-kitty blues
Vet says the Goth-kitties have issues: high pH and crystals in their urine.
I’m not sure how seriously to take this, frankly. This particular vet hawked one of those expensive must-buy-at-vet cat foods the instant she saw the cats’ teeth. Now she’s hawking a different one based on the lab results. What is a cat owner supposed to think, other than that the vet’s cut of the profits might have, I don’t know, some sort of impact on the recommendation?
But where can I find a vet for whom this is not the case?
I’m going to try to do my homework, become informed on the health issues in question here, so I can make a decision that works for the Goth-kitties while not unduly assaulting my wallet. If they really need the special food, fine. If they don’t, I am so getting a new vet, one who doesn’t cater to the half-million-dollar-home Shorewood Hills crowd.
