This is my usual clinic and my cat had a potential exposure to a bat that was found dead in our apartment. Each time I called, I was told to contact someone else. The first time, I was told to contact a local emergency clinic that doesn't even carry the rabies vaccine (they told me I need to talk to my usual vet). The next time I called to make an appointment for a rabies booster shot, to which they said they would look into it and call me back. When they called me back, Nicole advised me they were fully booked for the next couple of days and told me to contact the ADC which will help me find me an appointment. Sounds great, but how do I contact them? Nicole told me just to google it and I can find the number that way. I had to ask what the ADC stood for because a cursory Google search returns: Art Director's Club, Arkansas Department of Corrections, Analog-to-Digial Converter, etc. Nicole advised me it stands for Animal Diagnostic Clinic. OK, that search only returns results for a clinic in Dallas, Texas. I believe they meant Animal Diagnostic Center through Cornell University, but they were incapable of providing even that essential information. The whole experience was unprofessional from the way they gave me next to no information and pushed me off the call with "OK have a nice day," to the condescending tone they employed. The County gave me better advice about what to do with the dead bat and my cat, advising me to quarantine my cat and get him a booster shot. Not once did this clinic talk me through what I should do. It's highly unlikely that my cat has rabies, but there is a potentially deadly exposure, and it is reprehensible that they should treat such a situation with this egregious neglect and insincerity.
