Cassie’s Story – Page 4

.

Let us now compare Cassie’s symptoms to this content/information provided by veterinarian Bassem Boctor on his own websites stcatharinesanimalhospital.ca

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Veterinarian Bassem Boctor website states:

1 – WEBSITE: “If уоur pet іѕ ѕtrаіnіng tо urіnаtе and рrоduсіng lіttlе or nо urіnе each time… hunching over”

Was veterinarian Bassem Boctor aware that Cassie had these two symptoms?

If Cassie is suddenly urinating longer that means that the flow of urine is slowing and she was starting to strain to pee toreleieve the pressure. A dog or cat’s bladder DOES NOT suddenly grow larger after 13 years, which in turn would increasing the volume of urine output, therefore allowing for long pee’s.

Veterinarian Bassem Boctor website States:

2 – WEBSITE:“thеу will ѕtор eating”

Was veterinarian Bassem Boctor aware that Cassie had this symptom?

Veterinarian Bassem Boctor was well aware that Cassie had changed her eating habits and had in fact lost weight as it was explained to him that she had lost about 5 pounds since earlier that year at her last vet visit.

3 – Veterinarian Bassem Boctor website states:

3 – WEBSITE: “Bесаuѕе оf thе аbnоrmаl раѕѕаgе of urіnе, thе stream оr flоw оf urіnе wіll be іntеrruрtеd аnd mау арреаr cloudy. If аnу urіnе is ѕееn, іt mау appear dаrk оr blood-tinged.”

Was veterinarian Bassem Boctor aware that Cassie had this symptom?

As it was explained to veterinarian Bassem Boctor at the time. I had continued since March 2022 to catch and monitor the beginnings of her first pee in the mornings on a paper towel, and that once again I had started noticing a slight amount of red/blood in it.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

So despite Cassie having multiple symptoms of a urinary trасt іnfесtіоn. Veterinarian Bassem Boctor ignored his own content/information and symptoms from is own created own website THAT HE CREATED to make the final diagnosis that Cassie DID NOT have a bacterial UTI.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now let us once again compare Cassie’s current symptoms to the information provided on veterinarian Bassem Boctor own veterinarian website stcatharinesanimalhospital.ca

So what are the medical definitions for these remaining possible symptoms for urinary tract obstruction from veterinarian Bassem Boctor that are listed on his own company website – St. Catharines Animal Hospital website?

URINARY TRACT STONES/CRYSTALS

Urinary tract stones/crystals: Urolithiasis is a medical term referring to the presence of stones or crystals in an animal’s urinary tract. When the stones are made up of uric acid, they are called urate stones. These stones can also be found in the kidneys and in the tubes connecting the kidneys to the animal’s bladder (ureters).

Does this apply to Cassie?

This was not relevant to Cassie as veterinarian Bassem Boctor had “Ruled Out” that Cassie did not have any bladder stones/crystals.

BACTERIAL URINARY TRACT INFECTION

Urinary tract infections (UTIs): in dogs are usually caused by bacteria in the urine. There are lower and upper UTIs, but lower UTIs are more common.

Does this apply to Cassie?

This was not relevant to Cassie as veterinarian Bassem Boctor had “Ruled Out” that Cassie did not have a bacterial urinary tract infection.

PROSTATE DISEASE

Prostate Disease: Male dogs have prostates, and male dogs can develop prostate problems. A male dog’s prostate gland looks like a walnut and is located behind the urinary bladder and directly below the rectum. Also called an accessory sex organ, its size is usually determined by the male hormone testosterone and various other disease conditions. Semen constitutes 25-30% of the fluid secreted by the prostate gland. It also provides nourishment to the sperm cells and helps in breeding.

Does this apply to Cassie?

This was not relevant to Cassie as she was a female.

This now ONLY leaves veterinarian Bassem Boctor with only the possible diagnosis that Cassie might have “tumоrѕ, lesions, аnd/or ѕсаr tіѕѕuе” that could be leading to her potential obstruction.

URINARY DISEASE/TUMORS

Bladder Tumor(s): is sometimes called a bladder mass. Bladder tumors made up of CANCER cells are called malignant tumors, and these CANCER cells can spread to other parts of the body outside of the bladder.

Does this apply to Cassie?

At the time of the visit, never did veterinarian Bassem Boctor ever suggested or hint at CANCER being a possibility. This was not on our families radar and obviously not on veterinarian Bassem Boctor as he makes no reference to it at ANY TIME.

LESIONS

Lesion(s): is a region in organ or tissue (in this case, the bladder) that is suffer damage through such mechanisms as follows: Injury (for example penetrating trauma from a car accident),

Does this apply to Cassie?

This was not relevant to Cassie as she had never had any type of trauma or injury to her body.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

SCAR TISSUE

Scar Tissue: can narrow the urethra, can be due to: A medical procedure that involves inserting an instrument, such as an endoscope, into the urethra Intermittent or long-term use of a tube inserted through the urethra to drain the bladder (catheter) Trauma or injury to the urethra or pelvis

Does this apply to Cassie?

This was not relevant to Cassie as she had never had any type of medical procedure where there was any inserting of instruments into her urethra.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

So by this point veterinarian Bassem Boctor has left himself only ONE of the SIX remaining possibilities according to his own company website content/information.

• URINARY TRACT STONES or CRYSTALS – NO / NO
• BACTERIAL URINARY TRACT INFECTION – NO
• PROSTATE DISEASE – NO
• LESIONS – NO
• SCAR TISSUE – NO

Leaving the only possibility of it being

• Disease and/or Bladder Tumor

According to the AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) Since not all pets receive medical care or a definitive cancer diagnosis, this number likely would rise if every pet saw a veterinarian annually. Taking this into consideration.

The Veterinary Cancer Society estimates 1 in 4 (25%) of ALL dogs will develop cancer at some point in their lives, and almost 1 of every 2 (50%) of ALL dogs over age 10 will develop cancer.

So we have now determined through the AAHA that Cassie was very susceptible to the possible that she could have had CANCER at the time of her exam with Veterinarian Bassem Boctor due strictly to her age alone.

And based on the facts that Cassie was just 18 days away from turning 13 years old ( 79 years in dogs age ) there was about 50% her issue were going to be CANCER related

But it appears that Veterinarian Bassem Boctor did not processional understand these stats about how older dogs are susceptible and more likely to get cancer or he did knew and choose not to explore the idea out loud for his own personal and/or finical gain.
