Please do not take your fur babies to this clinic. We chose this clinic because we were new to the area and it was close to our home. I have a 1 year old cat who is now within days of dying. I took him in to be neutered and now a week later he is unable to eat or drink. My cat was healthy, always full of energy and has been an indoor cat since he was born. 3 days Post Op my cat started puking yellow bile and was unable to eat or drink. I call the clinic and they tell me its no charge for a recheck and to bring him in. Now our first visit for the neutering they quoted me one price then charged me even more when I picked him up. I was upset but was just happy he made it thru surgery etc. Now I take him for the recheck and they cant figure out what is going on. The vet wants to start with an xray and rule out blockages etc. He tells me todays visit will run between $200-230. I just paid over $200 for the surgery less than a week ago but my cat hasnt ate in 3-4 days so I say ok because I cant stand to see an animal becoming lifeless by the moment. I arrive back to pick up my cat and now have to pay $312 and wait on blood work. I question the charges and the lack of answers for a healthy cat before surgey and now he is barely hanging on. So then I have to speak to their director, who is a Quack!! I don't think the man has any medical background. I'm a nurse and it doesnt take a genius to see something from surgery has caused a problem. Poor cat is dehydrated, lost weight, cant keep anything down and this director is going to tell me that infections can not happen from surgery?! Are u kidding me??? So then I tell him Ive done my own research and brought up the fact that some animals do not handle anesthesia well which can result in liver and kidney damage/failure. He tells me that he thinks my cat has feline leukemia and I should test him for that. Well if you do your research feline leukemia has nothing to do with surgery, nor does puking up yellow bile and being unable to eat. It also doesn't make a cat lifeless in a matter of a couple of days. He tells me he can refund my blood work charges and I can go to my old vet which is over an hour away. I told him you have already taken my cats bloodwork and Ive already paid so what I expect is for your to do your job and provide quality care. We just want answers so we can help our cat. I could tell from our conversation he doesnt give a crap about anyone's animals. He flat out told me he has tons of patients (animals) and losing one doesnt matter. Well it matters to ME because I love animals and I will not stand behind someone who thinks its ok to throw away a life. It may be one cat to him but to me thats a family member! I see some of the good reviews have been families with dogs...well Im glad you guys had a great experience but I wish everyone would take a moment and think how you would feel if this happened to you. If your animal was hanging on for life and the director of the clinic is only worried about making another dollar and sees animals as expendables.
