I'm sorry to say the last 2 experiences were BAD:
Trip 1: Brought Mr. T in with a swollen lip, that turned out to be a puncture from overgrown canine teeth. Vet had no clue of this common problem, simply prescribed liquid Antibiotic, OVER $70. I ended up with claws stuck into my arm. Mr t. is usually a lover, not aggressive. Vet had to reorder pills, $25 for same thing, hmmmm. Vet missed the ball and misdiagnosed this common problem.
TRIP 2:
Infection not gone...another round of antibiotics. After the exam, as the Vet's leaving, I ask him to look at the big gaping hole in Mr T's lip with the tooth sticking in (he didn't see it?!). Oh yea, that's a COMMON problem with Siamese Point Lynx, their canine teeth keeps growing, he says as he tweaks his jaw (Like that's going to fix it?!). He then squirts some surgery glue into the hole. I ask, won't the tooth just puncture it again? Oh no, this will work. Another wrong diagnosis and more meds!
Fast forward: huge infection, tooth's broken the glue, gaping hole, miserable kitty. I turn to the Internet. this is common! Filling the hole does NOTHING! I'm leaving on a business trip, I call upset and ask for them to order antibiotic. Pills are too big,sooo, you guesed it, they have to order liquid, OMG! I just want my kitty better, so I reluctantly agree.
$75 later, time again for the liquid nightmare! My nephews have to wrap Mr T. in a blanket, with just his head sticking out, and force feed him, stuff spewn ALL Over, and they could only get 1/2 the medication into him! I come home and discover, this stuff makes my cat foam at the mouth with strings of saliva, AND this is common...it's on all the boards! oh and infection's worse.
Where is the compassion, and why would he order something that makes a cat with a lip infection FOAM at the mouth? WHY WOULD HE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I am now into this for almost $500, and all I have is a traumatized cat with a horrible resistant infection.
Staff is nice, but there have been a few major issues lately, one ending in my brother's cat of 15 years being ""put down"" unnecessarily, now this! You guys were so good, what's going on? How very disappointing, obviously time to reconsider! I'm going in tomorrow...I'll keep you posted! : (
Oh, my past reviews were a 5....says something!
