Huh. That's a different approach. I can't say if it is better or worse. MK responded really quickly and clearly, so it probably also depends on the cat.

It's actually more care than I got with Sam (the other diabetic cat). I think I'm going to call the other animal hospital near me and see how they would approach things. It really seemed like Ozzie felt better this morning though, which is what matters.

eta: Aurelia, when do you leave?

Yay!

Huh. My cat just decided to check out Perkins's profile....

He just walked over the keyboard, and your profile came up.

However, he didn't seem too interested in actually looking at it.

I should add, that it really surprised the vet (MK had really insanely high bg levels, so they thought he was going to be hard to regulate.)

More than our family dog got from a very dedicated vet 15ish years ago, too. I think it's partly the changing nature of veterinary medicine. My cousin and her husband (both vets) talk about how their experiences are so different than what was expected of animal medicine from when they were kids.

It sounded like this practice just didn't leave you feeling too good, and that counts a lot too.

tommyrot, the questions on last week's (?) Not My Job on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (the NPR News Quiz) were about the last organ grinder in New York. It was hilarious -- the guy apparently took it up in the 70s after growing a mustache that made him look like an organ grinder anyway.

when do you leave?

In a little less than two weeks.

Oh, it was the 6/3 show: [link]

That's the guy I was reading about!

Now that I think about it, I think it was a wire-service article....
