Trust vs Doubt

One of my two cats has been shaking her head quite a bit and fell over the other day after vigorously shaking her head. She miauws a lot but she's a Siamese so I did not think of it as strange. After seeing her fall over I decided to go to the vet, who examined her ears. The vet could not get a clear view and advised me to have her put under anesthetics so she could have a good look. We made an appointment a few day's later on Monday. During the weekend I visited some friends and they said their cat also sometimes fall over after shaking their head and this was quite normal behavior. Now I tend to always see the worse case scenario and try not to react to this to much. So I heavily doubted my decision to have the cat anesthetized all weekend. Deciding not to go and then thinking she was really shaking her head a lot and deciding to go. This went on until the moment I brought her to the vet, I considered taking her back while at the vet. But in the end I took her to the appointment. The vet called me to tell me the cat had an inner ear infection and will be treated with antibiotics. They also extracted some bad teeth and took a lung photo. She has a history of coughing and the photo confirmed she has some thickening of the longtissue. So now I am glad I did bring her.

I hate doubt!
