I had brought my elderly diabetic cat Mister to be boarded at Fairmount some time ago, but I think this story needs to be told. I had told them he was a finicky eater, and that the last time I brought him in his blood work did show his diabetes was poorly regulated on his insulin dosage. I had to go out of town for ONE NIGHT unavoidably, and Fairmount assured me Mister would be monitored closely. I came back from my overnight trip and went straight to a part-time job in the morning, intending to pick up Mister after I was done with my shift. I received a call at work from my friend whose contact number the hospital had on file while I was out of town. She said Mister was very ill, and I needed to get to Fairmount right away. I was met there by Dr. Lee, who basically told me Mister had received his regular dose of insulin, and, long story short, his food was placed in his cage, but no one ever made sure he ate. So they sent him into hypoglycemia, and then locked their doors and left for the night!! My cat was comatose when someone finally found him...at death's door. Prior to my arrival they had given him something to bring his blood sugar up, and had him laying on bags of warmed water to heat up his ice-cold body. Dr. Lee said he was stable for the moment and I could take him home, to make sure he eats, and any further problems, to take him to the Emergency Veterinary Hospital on Bridge St. in Dewitt. I got no further than the highway on ramp an Mister began to seize. I rush to the Emergency hospital, where he died. Dr. Lee did not want Mister to die at their facility, because they were negligent from the get-go. That place killed my baby. Period. That's what you get for the price-gouging services. And Dr. Lee shouldn't have a Veterinary license, in my opinion. Read Less
