I feel that when you take your pet to the vet's with a problem you are paying for private treatment and as such results of blood tests and other tests should be treated as a matter of urgency, particularly if the cat is obviously very unwell. My parents seem to have been fobbed off with one test after another while their cat starves to death before their eyes. Now the vet says that she might have hyperthyroidism (although why this didn't occur to him over a week ago beats me!) and the latest test will take another 3 days to come through. I am beginning to feel, possibly cynically, that once they knew that my parents have insurance they could stretch out the process of diagnosis over what is to my parents (and the cat) an agonising length of time. What can they or should they do about expediting the results of this test?
