Not at all pleased with some of the procedures used by Altos on my now - deceased 9 yr old male cat. They couldn't tell us what was wrong with our cat, after 6 days in a row, and @ $1500 later, so they implanted an esophagus feeding tube the last night, and they were unable to give him food and water through it, yet told us to take him home (with the tube still in him, even though it didn't work) and bring him back at 8am the next morning (since they're not open after 6pm), but he didn't make it, in fact, we firmly believe our cat suffocated from the tube, in our car just a few minutes before 8 that next morning. We understand that cats get sick, and sometimes the Vet cannot tell what's wrong, even after x-rays and ultrasounds, but to send us home with a non-working feeding tube in our cat's body just didn't make good sense...in fact, we feel strongly that the tube caused our cat's death. Not happy with Altos, they should have taken out the tube the moment it didn't work, and told us to drop him off at a 24 hour animal hospital instead. People, do your own research, and do not put all your trust in Altos. Read Less
