Belinda,
We have had so many horrible experiences at the vet since Mio got sick in
June, that I am a little hesitant to officially recommend my new vet until
we have more experience with her. Our new vet is Elizabeth Johnson @ The
cat clinic of Seattle ( in Wallingford). So far she has been Great. Mio
was super grumpy when we went and Elizabeth handled her very well, plus the
vet techs were very experienced and gentle and no one got scratched or
bitten (with Mio that is quite an achievement, there is nothing she hates
more than having her temp taking when she already feels crummy). Elizabeth
is very willing to acommodate my suggestions, and research supplements and
medications for me.
We also had a good experience at Four Paws Veterinary Center. I believe the
vets name was Erin. She was really good to Mio, very reasonable priced and
offered to do a FeLV test on my other cat without doing an exam (he is
asymptomatic). She has also been great with my mothers dog. She has
virtually no experience with FeLV, but was very willing to find the best
ways to take care of the furkids at the lowest cost. I decided to switch to
a vet with more FeLV experience, which was a disaster, but I still think of
her as my back up vet.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the bad vets, so I'll leave them out,
but they were really attrocious. One offered to PTS my assymptomatic FeLV
cat (Oscar), not having read enough of our file to know that I had Mio sick
as a dog at home, and then prescribed the wrong dosage of antibiotics! The
other one sent us home with absoluteyl no info on how to care for Mio, who
at the time had a 106 degree fever! Thank goodness I found this group. I
don't think I would ever have learned to question the word of a vet if it
weren't for reading about all of your experiences. Do you know of any other
vets in the area? I don't understand how in a city this big there could be
so few vets with FeLV experience. I hope you all are well, and am praying
for your strength and the health of all the furkids.

Hi Kiley,
I'm in Sumner, can I ask who your vet in Seattle is?? I have a great
vet too but it's always good to know others in my area.
Maybe when you have a minute you could list them on the Post Adoptable
FeLV/FIV/FIP list in the
