I'm in Spring Green! It is good to know that the CCC can work with FeLeuk kitties, altho I have a good vet nearby in Dodgeville. Do they use any holistic treatments? On 6/11/2011 9:22 PM, Barb Moermond wrote: I'm in Madison and use Cat Care Clinic. Both of the vets there are members of AAF

I'm in Madison and use Cat Care Clinic. Both of the vets there are members of AAFP [www.catvets.com] and are both good with my babies. I've been going there since Ninja was diagnosed FeLV+ and suffering from seizures etc. So, I've been going to them since 1998 and still love them. If you loo

Beth, I agree. I only use the larger ER group when I have an emergency late at night or on weekends. They are ok, nice, but just do not know each cat's personality and ractions to sounds and movements. Beth Noren wrote: > Hi Pam, > I think a good regular vet who is willing to listen is t

We have a wonderful holistic-friendly vet who makes house calls. She works in conjunction with our "brick and mortar" vet for blood work, tests, etc. when necessary. Now that we have lost our two FeLV+ angels, she takes care of our new babies. The house call vet was the one that got us hook

Hi Pam, I think a good regular vet who is willing to listen is the absolute best kind. I've tried another vet with a larger 24 hour practice who has pioneered some procedures. He was a mean, nasty ego-maniac. I much prefer a smaller practice where they can spend time to get to really know you and
