Medivet Tyldesley

I brought my cat in earlier this year as noticed she was walking with a strange gait and drinking more water. Very quickly into the initial consultation the vet suspected diabetes, which came as a major surprise to me as all through her life my cat has had a relatively consistent and suitable diet. After initial blood & urine tests, diabetes was confirmed. This was an immensely stressful tome for me and Marilyn as her treatment plan required daily insulin injections and a prescribed diet. Learning the ropes with the medication and the required equipment, the knowledge required to treat a pet with this condition was overwhelming and this practice collectively helped me with that process from the start. Unfortunately, Marilyn very quickly went from tolerating her new treatment plan, to despising it, to the point where she would hide herself in the house to avoid injections, she was miserable and fretful, a combination due to both her illness, and the enormous change to her lifestyle especially surrounding my trustworthiness (I had become the mean woman with the needle!) Eventually it became unbearable for us both and I was in tears at home wanting to do what was right for my animal but without her being depressed and afraid. I said the same to the vets who suggested an alternate treatment that was quite new, high risk and not guaranteed to be effective for Marilyn. At this point i’d have tried anything so we did. Fast forward today, I have a very content cat who has returned to herself and managed to reverse the nerve damage to her legs. She’s purring most days and we’re back to being best friends. I was wholly not equipped to deal with her illness and it was a tough road travelled, but Tyldesley Vets have been absolutely fantastic in helping me from the very beginning. Never underestimate the stress of a poorly pet, and to find a vet who do that little bit more to help has been the silver lining needed! Thanks to everyone there - girls on the front desk are also amazing!

Archie was well looked after today when he came in to see the vet, he had an operation and was well looked after came home very sleepy. He is now resting well and recovering.
