Ditto to what Freeky has said. I find it concerning that they haven't taken any tests, and would want to get another vets opinion.

I am going to go with this for a couple of days or untill anything else happens, If I had the cash I would be straight to another vet but I just shelled out £28 for him and £38 for two kittens that are not yet officialy mine. I heard there is a fund for vet treatment for people on low income does anybody know any more about it please? I may give this a shot and get a second opinion.
