Four Paws Animal Health Center

Watch out for additional charges. The vet is qualified and professional but
the billing people are unwilling to listen or respond to certified letters.
Tests were done that I did not request nor that I was not informed about in
advance.

Dr. Myers is the most compassionate and competent vet have ever had contact with. Her experience and ability gave me more time with Jake than I otherwise would have had. My cat, Bella D. Ball has been Dr. Myers' "patient" since she was a kitten and is very healthy, although slightly deranged (joke) at times. Bottom line: Dr. Myers is the best there is along with Stacy and the office staff it just doesn't get much better than that!!

Said our 8 year old cat was healthy a couple months ago. Said there was no need to take any blood tests, that losing weight was normal for an older cat - he had dandruff and weakness in his back legs, where he was losing most of his weight. We took him back, and tests showed diabetes. She told us to change his food, and sold us special food. He got worse, and she started insulin shots. He gained some strength back in his legs, but continued to lose weight. I called and wanted to bring him in for blood tests and we were told to bring him in on Nov 30. The vet cancelled that appointment. We had run out of shringes, and vet would not return our calls. We had to purchase from another vet, whom I wished we had used instead of them. We took him back that Monday, and she wanted to keep him overnight. She called the next day and told me he was fine when she left him that night, but she thought he was dead the next morning when she returned. She called my husband at work and he rushed 30 miles from work to see him before he died. I went to pick him up-she was busy talking to someone in the office, so I went to look for him- I found him laying on the floor of her office with only the towel we brought him in with under him. (this during cold winter weather) He was comatose and unresponsive. The day before we left him with her he had been walking around outside- a drastic change. We took him to another vet who said tests she ran cannot be trusted. He sent his tests to the hospital. This whole ordeal was a nightmare. We lost our opportunity to get him stabilized due to misdiagnosis, cancelled appointment and failure to return our calls. I know we made mistakes also- but we were trying so hard to save him. When your loved one has a serious illness, you need a vet who will work with you and be dedicated, professional - not oozing hugs and sweetness and cancelling appointments. I realize he may have died no matter which vet we used- but seeing how professional the other vet was who tried to save him in the end- the first thing they did was place him on a heating pad. Not on a cold floor. Knowing he was treated this way adds tremendous guilt which makes the grieving of his death even harder. The bottom of her last bill said: 'A good man is concerned for the welfare of his animals' - Proverbs 12:10..I say 'A good vet should be concerned for the welfare of his/her animals' entrusted to her by loving owners. I wish we knew then what we know now. We will miss our beloved companion.
