Windcrest Animal Hospital

I have been a client at Windcrest for about 10 years now. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are. My latest experience was with my 6 yr old kitty, Alexander. Alex had recurring issues with urinary blockages throughout his life. I did everything, all the correct medications and diets, and he would still block. After talking to the Dr's at Windcrest, I decided to have the Perineal Urethrostemy surgery done on my boy to help him with his problem. He made it through the surgery just fine, however, during recovery, it was discovered that he was having difficulty breathing and that his lungs were filled with fluid. The ICU Dr called me immediately to explain the situation. I was devastated, of course. She was wonderful and explained, in detail, what they were trying to do to save my boy, Alex. They did an ultrasound of his heart and confirmed an underlying heart disease (Hypertrophic Cardio Myopathy) which is undetectable in a normal radiograph or blood work which is done prior to more

I've only been to Windcrest a few times in my past, but outside of their outrageous charges, found them to be very compassionate and caring when it came to my cat Ryan and me. I adopted him from Windcrest, and had a great experience in the adoption process. Out of 7 cats I've raised, he is the best cat I've ever had! \r \r Ryan was declawed there by laser (at my request) and he never had problems or complications. His recovery was quick and easy. One time I accidentally gave him a med I was taking at the time by accident instead of his own (mine looked exactly like his) and when I rushed him to emergency there, they took care of him very well. The lady vet was very compassionate with me and comforting. It left me with a lasting and warm impression. I didn't get the impression that Ryan was abused in any way during his emergency care and his recovery was excellent. \r \r The only negative I've experienced was asking what they would charge to clean his teeth. The tech came back to my exam ro more

I had my older cat at the Banfield Hospital Brandywine because he was drinking more, not that active etc. - they found out after taking xrays that he had a luxating patellar (kneecap out of place) and they scheduled me (without asking) for surgery for about $2000 - $2500. They didn't take blood etc. He got worse, was almost all day sleeping and just not himself. He lost rapidly muscle mass in just a couple of days and his belly was extended. I called Windcrest and got an appointment the same day. Unfortunately my cat had to put down. After the appropriate tests (bloodwork, belly-tab etc) we found out that he had a pancreatitis and the inflamation caused an internal abszess and erruppted into his belly and infected all other organs - no help for him at this point. \r From the point I entered the clinic we where treated with the most respect and dignity and even they never met us, put him down made even the vet and the tech cry. \r They also take care of you after you had to put an animal more
