Second opinions
At Manchester Cat Clinic, we regularly see cats with complex medical or dental cases as second opinions or referrals.
Our award-winning, highly skilled team have experience in managing a variety of concerns, such as:
Changes to drinking or appetite
Changes to toileting habits
Coughing
Habit or behaviour changes
Lethargy
Overgrooming / hair loss
Pain
Vomiting or diarrhoea
Weight loss
And specific diagnoses such as:
Asthma
Cancer
Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Dental disease
Diabetes
Feline hyperaesthesia syndrome
Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD)
FIP
Hyperthyroidism
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
What is the difference between a referral and a second opinion?
Referrals are made by veterinary surgeons who wish to send a patient to a colleague with specific skills, qualifications or experience. Patients who are referred to us remain under the care of their usual vets and return to them after having treatment or investigations. The referring vet will send across the patient's medical history and we will send a full history / report back to them afterwards.
Second opinions are when a cat owner chooses to move to another practice, usually permanently, but sometimes they may choose to just visit us temporarily. As part of our professional conduct obligations from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, we must have a full medical history from a patient's previous vets before seeing a second opinion.
