I still remember my vet having recommended opening my cat up (at a cost of thousands), with big chance for dying, for a sickness the vet couldn't figure out that my cat recovered on her own after we decided to let her come home and die with us instead. The vet said it was urgent because she wouldn't eat but actually our cat just needed a bit more attention when being fed while sick. She recovered after I took a day off and fed her a biscuit by hand the whole day, every 5 or 10 minutes.
- smt88 12y agoThis is a single anecdote. This kind of thing happens with human doctors, lawyers, auto mechanics, and even engineers. With incomplete information, you sometimes make an incorrect diagnosis. It doesn't reflect the overall value of the profession. Your cat could just as easily have died, and from the experience of dating a vet for many years, I can tell you that they very often do.
