Where do I start? I took my sick Calico cat in because she was losing weight and acting lethargic. I filled out a YARD of paperwork, proof of this and proof of that, and an HOUR later, the doctor agreed to see her. He was nice enough at first, and seemed to check many aspects of her health. After only a few minutes, he was baffled. No idea what's wrong. He recommended we run a full bloodwork, X-rays, etc. He said she probably ate some chemicals or something. I was so worried for her, I accepted his suggestion. We prepaid all the tests, a whopping $450. The staff was very ROUGH with her, especially given her fragile state. The nurses were more interested in my social life than asking me questions about my cat's health. I had to yell at this enormous guy to be gentle when he lifted her up by the scruff. The poor thing could barely walk!!!!!\r

The next day, I came back in. The doctor had no answers for me. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He said she needed general antibiotic (Clavamox) $60, and special food ($40). I understood about the antibiotic, but why the food? He insisted that the food we are giving her is making her sick. I said we buy the best, healthiest food at Petco, all natural, and she likes it. It was recommended to me by 3 other vets from NYC to LA. Never had a problem. So why is she getting sick from the food? He could not give me a straight answer, except her needing the food HE SELLS for a zillion dollars. But he still couldn't give me a real answer as to what's wrong with the cat!!!!\r

I'm a mom with two kids, and I still buy the best food I can afford, $30 / 20lb (Petco). All he did was increase the PRESSURE and the GUILT factor, for A WHOLE HOUR, while other sick animals waited in the waiting room! I was so tired of it, I just decided to give him the money for the special food so I can leave.\r

By the time I got home, I just wanted to hug my cat and promise I would never take her back to that place.
