My understanding of the UPenn Vet Hospital is that they prefer to offer
emergency and special-needs/research care to animals than routine
healthcare. We had called them to price neutering our rescue-kittens,
and they said as much (though they *will* take routine care - at
considerably higher pricing than the competition - which seems to
underline the point).

Does anyone have any thoughts about the UPenn Vet Hospital, particularly when
it comes to cat care?
I took Scrunch the Cat to a local vet for some dental work yesterday, and today I
have some problems and questions, and his local vet is not open on Thursdays.
I like the vet, but this limited access really bothers me. They also insisted I give
him this antibiotic that has to be shot down his throat instead of crumbled in his
food - instead of Amoxicilin, which can be crumbled in his food. I knew that I
would not be able to use the pill gun, and I told them that, but they insisted that
I take the other medication. I left the vet a message today informing them that I
was going to come and *get* the Amoxicilin on Friday.
I called UPenn and they gave me some information. Also, they are close by. I am
thinking about transferring him there. Does anyone know the pros and cons?
