Once more, Dr. Lewis and his receptionist Brenda have proven to be some of the most caring, compassionate vets in town for me. When my cat Pablo suffered two urinary blockages, Dr. Lewis unblocked him twice without doing unnessary tests or labwork to keep my costs down, and let him go home "to be less stressed".This time around, I found my beloved 14 yr old cat Ymirs lying in his own body fluids, mostly non-responsive and unable to lift his head or get up, I thought "stroke?" and rushed him up to the office, where Dr. Lewis confirmed "probably blew a blood clot, which is similar to a stroke." He very kindly guided Ymirs to a peaceful end, with a simple injection, and Brenda "held my emotional hand" while I took Ymirs back out.Dr. Lewis has also done a very low-cost spay for a shelter kitty we adopted a few years ago, as he was one of the few Lawrence vets who accepted the shelter voucher. Never had a problem with her after the surgery and she healed up in no time. If you are worried about the high costs of veterinary care, Dr. Lewis is great with helping keep your beloved pets in good health.The only reason he doesn't get five stars is that he's a bit behind the times with pain relief for cats, but often there are procedures that just don't seem to warrant dosing a cat with medications.
