We celebrate each day with our kitty thanks to the caring and skills of Dr. Warren. We are road warriors and travel with our pets. At our previous stop, we had a vet tell us our cat was in kidney failure. We didn't want to bring our cat to some inferior place so waited to get to a place that had a higher level of service. However, when we made the appointment with Mountain Vet to Pet, we discussed her symptoms and what we were told. They gave us hope but we saw our cat deteriorate. We thought we were bringing our 16 year old cat in for a euthanasia and were devastated. In entering we noticed the beauty of the facility. The facility was something we could be at peace at saying goodbye to our friend. Dr. Warren later explained she designed the rooms to be less claustrophobic for pets - there are glass doors in each room along with a comfortable chair for owners and cots for pets (no sterile exam tables). Our room was more private, due to the nature of the visit. The tech looked at the bloodwork the previous vet had done and said "This kitty is nowhere near kidney failure. I'll have Dr. Warren look but the previous vet's diagnosis doesn't seem right to me." We started to have hope. When Dr. Warren entered, a friendly face came to greet us and the first thing she said was "I like my kitties to last 19 to 20 years. In looking at your kitty's blood work, she is not anywhere near kidney failure." After discussing for a bit and taking some more tests, it was determined that the UTI med our cat was on was overly harsh on her belly so she didn't want to eat. Her elevated liver values were actually expected for hyperthyroid kitties (she was on meds for it for years). We gave her fluids and a new medication. Within 24 hours, our cat's brightness was coming back. Now our cat is 100 percent herself. In fact, she's more kittenish than she has been in years. Our once-vocal kitty had lost her meow a couple of years ago. Now, we hear a meow that is a beautiful, off-key Siamese melody that greets us every day. Every other week, we send Dr. Warren a picture of her and thank her for saving our cat. She is bright, alert, and ever the personality. While I guess we could live without the 6 am wakeup calls every morning, it is something we cherish. Thank you Dr. Warren and staff for all you do. Read Less
