They have been my vet since I moved to the North Bay. They will tell you the truth about whether something can be done for your furbaby or whether it's time to say goodbye. And they will do whatever they can. Alaric died at 21, Morgan died at 20, and Tamurlain died at 15. When Alaric had a stroke, they thought it was best that he be put to sleep, but they did say that sometimes a cat will recover, even though he was paralyzed on one side. I couldn't bear to say goodbye to him, so I took him home, and he did seem to be getting better, but three weeks later he had another stroke and died. Not their fault and he was 21 years old.
Jamethiel has a very rare condition and will require meds the rest of her life. Dr. Nicole diagnosed her as having hypoparathyroidism. Since they don't have intensive care facilities, she sent me to Pet Care, who agreed with Dr. Nicole's diagnosis. Because the condition is so rare, they sent lab samples to the University of Michigan Veterinary School and the diagnosis was confirmed. Dr. Nicole told me that she had actually never seen a case of it, and that it was so rare, she doubted anyone at Pet Care had actually seen it, either. But they made the correct diagnosis. Jamethiel will be on meds the rest of her life, but she's alive, healthy and full of mischief. And if she hadn't been properly diagnosed, she would be dead. These are really, really good vets.
