Helping Lacey the Siamese go to the Specialist for the right treatment.

Hi All,

So we got Lacey as a kitten from one of my friends, she is a lovely wee soul and it has been hard at times with her not well. As a kitten she always had difficulty with food she ended vomiting any food back up. Couple of visits to the vet (in Palmerston North) didnt show up with anything and I assumed she would grow out of the sickness. She was always been a small cat, and the vomiting caused her to stress. We took her to our vet (we live in Lower Hutt) as the vomiting didnt stop and she was diagnosed with a large esophagus (its like it has it has a pouch in it) in which the vet thinks it has been created from a previous operation when a tube was inserted in her mouth. (Possibly when she was fixed as a kitten). We are hoping to get some assistance as shes on a special diet costing about $30 a week to feed. But also we need proof of the diagnosis and further treatment outside the vets practice, as the vet cannot assist further. This needs to be done by a specialist only this will cost abit for a referral but unsure of treatment/ongoing costs as she needs to go and visit first. I want closure on her diagnosis to give her the best life possible.
