Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists Dennis

79 Theophilus F Smith Road, South Dennis

Well, this is a review I never thought I’d have to write. About a month ago, I travelled from NH to the Cape, like we do every summer. The whole family was there, including all the cats – my two, my sister’s and my brother’s. The first night everything was completely normal. My 5 year old black cat, Kai, was being his typical black cat self – chasing his brother, eating his cousin’s food (that he knows he isn’t supposed to eat) and generally being the mischievous, lovable little troublemaker that he’s always been. I went to bed so content that night, with both cats sleeping on me.

The next morning, my sister and I woke from a dead sleep to this awful coughing sound. It was Kai. He threw up, had phlegm coming out of his mouth, and then just slowly collapsed onto his side. It looked like he was going to stop breathing. There was immediate panic and confusion. Did he eat something? Is his airway blocked? I googled emergency vet close to me and the first thing that popped up was Hyannis. I called in a full panic, gave a rushed explanation and basically blurted out that I think he’s going to die and am coming NOW. The woman on the phone told me to hold on for just a minute because she needed to make a call. She asked me to stay on the line and said she'd be right back. I was probably on hold for 30 seconds and she came back and told me to go to the vet in Dennis, which was only 5 minutes away. (Sidenote: We gotta shorten that street name because Theophilus F Smith Rd is hard enough to spell when you aren’t in one of the most panicked, stressful situations of your life!!)

Thank God they re-directed me to the Dennis location because I don’t think he would have made it all the way to Hyannis. Those were the longest, most terrifying 5 minutes of my life. When I pulled in the parking lot, there were no spots, so I pulled right up to the entrance. Someone immediately came running out, scooped up Kai from my backseat, and ran him back inside.

Shortly after, a vet came in to talk to us. She said that he was on oxygen and breathing, but still in distress. She also said that he was showing signs of congestive heart failure. To be perfectly honest, the first thought that popped into my head was something along the lines of, “Is she high?” He’s 5. He’s the most active, happy, healthy cat you’ve ever met. He’s never had any health concerns. That cannot be it. I insisted that I thought he had eaten something. That night he was transferred to their sister location in Buzzards Bay. He stayed on oxygen and was treated for both CHF and atypical pneumonia (while rare, they couldn’t rule it out completely based on his scans). He ended up in the ICU for 4 days, and I was able to bring him home (stable but traumatized) with a recommendation to see a cardiologist ASAP.

Unfortunately, the cardiologist confirmed the diagnosis of CHF and gave him 12-18 months. It hurts to write that, and I’m still coming to terms with the fact that we won’t be together for another 10 years. But if it wasn’t for the amazing group of people at the Dennis and Buzzards Bay Cape Cod Vet Specialists, I would have already lost him. They saved his life and I consider every extra day I have with him a blessing.
