I have awesome clients. I love my job.
But I need to rant. I've been having a run of mystery, doomed to die patients with really weird combinations of clinical signs. And no one is letting me post their animals. I get the okay for diagnostics/empirical treatment and the animals die before I even get started. And rather than let me do a post at no charge for professional interest, everyone is okay with having no idea why their young, previously heathy animal died. I have a list of differentials for the most recent mystery case but would love to know what it really is. (9mo M/N kitten... Acute onset icterus, progressing to anisocoria, seizures and death within ~12 hours). owner is excellent, experienced in vet med, one of my best cat owners, and I 100% believe her that the cat was not yellow yesterday. The whole case is odd and it's driving me nuts that I have lists of differentials with no answer.
