We have an older cat who this morning is going around in circles, nonstop.Could someone recommend a veterinarian in Boquete, hopefully who speaks English as my Spanish is limited
You need to be a member of Boquete Ning to add comments!
Joanne The doctor said he has a abnormality in his brain. He has high blood pressure which caused him to go blind 3 years ago. We give him medicine for that now. This new event , she thinks was caused by me feeding him, for human consumption, tuna . She said the tuna has too much salt and may cause this type of reaction. Hopefully it is not a stroke. Thanks again for all your help and support for Morris.
Oh my, who would have thought that tuna would do that. I guess I've never read the ingredients list on tuna, just what it was packed in as we always got it packed in spring water. Salt as an additive never occurred to me.
This cat has most likely had a stroke. May need a boost of vitamins /energy supplements but mainly will need lots of love. Hopefully you both enjoy cuddling and its system will repair itself.
The Zanzibar is on the right side, past the church, on the main street, shortly before you get to La Posada and the turn-off to the Panamonte. Directly across from the Zanzibar is the street you will take to Dra. Chely's office. As Penny says, proceed through one stop sign. In the next block you will encounter a Y in the road. Take the left branch in the Y. Dra. Chely's house/office will be on the left a short distance from the Y.

Hopefully Morris will be all better soon.

Thanks, to all ,just back from veterinarian. What a nice lady, hopefully Morris will be better.
So what was the diagnosis?
Here is a list of vets...good luck.
Thank you for your response. Being new in the area, we are unfamiliar with the Zanzibar. From the park could you direct us to the Zanzibar?

Correction: Dra. Chely's office is on the right side after you turn onto the left branch of the Y. Sorry.
