My mom didn't go with me to the vet with dust but today she was like "did she give dust a steroid shot? I was reading online that a different vet gave somebody else's cat a steroid shot. Also im gonna buy dust some supplements to put in his food to help" like why in the world are you trusting the advice of people who have never laid eyes on my cat over the advice of the licensed professional who did??
#my mom doesnt know this but im extra miffed bc the lady who checked us out told me that the vet who saw my cats#was the first woman to become a veterinarian in my state like. ur really gonna disrespect my feminist icon vet like this?!#i told her to wait on the supplements until after his follow up appointment#bc she literally told me that if he does have herpes its hard to treat and we might have to try multiple things#also she gave my other cat a steroid shot for a different issue so its not like she has some weird aversion to giving steroid shots#the two sites ive been to about feline herpes say that treatment depends on the symptoms and that eye symptoms#are commonly treated with eyedrops... which is what the vet gave me.... like where did my mom even get her sources#possibly from google AI if i had to guess since it recommends both immunosuppresants (e.g. steroids) and supplements#i even googled steroid shots for feline herpes and the 2 sites i viewed were like no we dont really do that except in special circumstances#like come on. i think since we had never even heard of feline herpes before we can give the professional#a little bit of trust here before we start playing animal doctor. at least until the follow up appointment in 2 weeks
