Well, I watched Ali's video and found it very distressing. I'm still trying to process my thoughts and how I feel.
In my opinion Ali came across as sensitive, caring and thoughtful....and he has the patience of a saint with Lidl cackling off camera.
Not knowing what is wrong with your pet is terribly worrying and trying to make a judgement call about the vet is so stressful. They have obviously been through the mill.....and poor Lumi, he's obviously been pretty sick.
My husband was away when our Maine Coon Chilli fell ill and it has brought it all back...to and froing to the vet, watching him suffer, driving like a lunatic across the country to a specialist vet, looking for a cat for a blood donation, desperate phone calls....and then losing him.
It doesn't surprise me that the local vet doesn't have the capability for overnight stays, that was the specialist's remit and there was a world of difference in the two places.
I didn't like Lidl's crying on camera...even if they were happy tears. Maybe spend the time reflecting on what you could have done differently. Too many treats? Coconut oil? Really?
