I have a problem with one of the Veterinarians at this clinic. She appears to lack experience treating cats. I took my cat to this vet in September and was told that he was in the beginning stages of heart failure. She gave me diuretic and blood pressure medication to give him. Then, he got sick again, and I took him back in and, she told me he had pancreatitis, and she wanted to put an IV for fluids for 24 hours. I felt like they wanted to charge me too much, so I called another clinic and that clinic said that it would kill him to put him on fluids if he has a heart condition. The next day my cat was better. Nonetheless, I was still concerned, so I took him to the other vet and was given enzymes in case he had pancreatitis. This doctor said there was not anything in his records from the Mukwonago Animal Hospital to indicate he had this condition. This was strange because the doctor at MAH said he had Pancreatitis. The doctor thought his heart sounded fine, but assumed he was diagnosed correctly, so I continued to give him the heart medication. Two months later, I called Mukwonago Animal Hospital to let them know he still was not doing well, but I never received a phone call back from the Veterinarian. I believed it was because of one of the trans-dermal heart medications, so I started giving my cat the medication orally instead of rubbing it on ear. Soon after this, I took him to the other vet to get his nails clipped. I mentioned to the veterinarian that he was not eating well, and she looked at his records. This was another doctor, and after looking at My cats records and listening to his heart, she was puzzled as to why he was diagnosed as having a heart problem. She told me that she would like to do more testing on him. They did X rays and still did not believe he had a heart condition. His health continued to decline quickly the next few days. I took him to the Emergency clinic, and they did an Ultrasound of his heart and said his heart was normal. They found out he had a mass in his colon. My cat died. All of the doctors agreed that the diuretic and and the blood pressure medicine did not help him and could have helped to hasten his death. This Veterinarian apparently does not have enough experience treating cats. She needs to go back to Vet school. Read Less
