Last Thurday, our group home cat, Onyx, was taken in after suddenly not being able to move its hind quarters. She was in obvious pain, and the towel she was laying on was bloody - so the vet (Dr. Dodge) diagnosed her as having a UTI and sent her home with oral antibiotics to take twice daily. Onyx lay suffering for almost 3 days, and I finally took her to the emergency vet in Baldwinsville who did what SHOULD have been done in the 1st place - x-rayed her, and diagnosed her with two fractures of the left rear femur.

They are the closest vet to our group homes in the valley, but we will be taking our cats elsewhere in the future - for their sakes. Read Less
