Furry Friends Veterinary Service

Paul Pomes, DVM worked at Animal Health Center when I bring my cat to recheck. He found and removed a bullet from my cat’s face, which it has been there since I rescued her 6 years ago. I mentioned this bump to Dr. Larsen at 6 years ago. I was told it may be defect from birth or something, and it is OK to leave as is. My cat seen vet regular but never been questioned.
I brought my cat due to her swollen tong and soaking wet chin last week. Dr. Linda Manley Lawrence and we don’t know what happens and causes, so antibiotic and pain killer over the weekend.
Dr. Pomes listend to our story well, including a bit extended story how we got her, or bumps and smell of her. Touching bump on her face, he thought it seems a bullet of BB gun, sure it was. It seems different issue from problem with her tong, but due to this findings, he guessed that cause of tong issue may be muscle controls tong may be damaged from trauma. He recommended to take X-​ray to make sure no more bullets in her body or born damage.
I was so socked to see a metal bullet came out and felt so sorry for my cats and angry to whom did abuse her. I am so glad that Dr. Pomes was there for our appointment. He is a relief doctor, so I am not sure how often or how long he will work at Animal Health Center. But definitely, I want to continue see him for my all cats.
My other cats has also issue that previous doctor could not find the cause or treatment — cats are suffer still — it seems he is a hope to my cats!
