We brought our cat Paulie to VESCONE at 9:30pm one night as his pupils were completely dilated and he was stumbling & falling down when he tried to walk. He had thrown up and we brought in a stool sample that was blue and green. When the triage nurse greeted us at the front desk she immediately noticed that Paulie had lost his vision and brought him in back to examine him. Within 15 minutes, she had called us into an exam room and let us know that he could possibly have been exposed to a parasite, we then told her that our cat had caught a bird a few days prior, so that made sense to us. She told us we were going to have to wait 1.5 to 2 hours to see the doctor as there were other patients ahead of us.
