SENIOR DIABETIC CAT SUCCESSFULLY TREATED---- We took our cat into Dr. Thomas' clinic because our cat was losing weight and she looked like death was nearing. The tests revealed that she was in renal kidney failure. My husband and I were very emotional at the idea that we may have to put our beloved 13 year old kitty to sleep, but Dr. Thomas explained our options. She suggested that we could take our cat to another clinic that offered intravenous dialysis, which we did, even though Dr Thomas was clear that the treatment may not work. (The 3 day treatment was almost $1700- ouch.) After our cat was treated, we took her back to see Dr. Thomas for all follow ups, plus we eventually went on vacation and had our cat boarded with Dr Thomas. As part of our cat's health regiment, Dr. Thomas told us that we would have to give our cat a DAILY fluid treatment for the rest of our cat's life. As scared as we were of subjecting her to a painful life (daily fluid injection by needle), we have to report that we are VERY HAPPY we listened to all of the advice provided by Dr. Thomas. It's almost one year later and our cat has such a great life and is full of energy. (Our cat is very used to the process of getting her fluids, which only take about 5 min. We recommend this treatment if one is considering it.) Dr. Thomas directed us through the entire process of helping our cat, including calling us often to check on her status. Truthfully, that first day we took our sick cat into Dr Thomas' office, we thought it was more humane to put our kitty to sleep, but Dr. Thomas had a persuasive attitude that our cat could get through this and still live a happy life. Even though we questioned this, Dr. Thomas was so passionate about her advice that we listened and are grateful we did. My husband and I both think Dr Thomas profoundly cares about cats, posses knowledge and experience and offers realistic advice. We trust her with our cat's care and health. Her staff is also worthy of mentioning as they are truly wonderful as well
While the other reviews are correct in that the doctor is very sweet woman and obviously loves cats, the doctor also does not understand that sometimes keeping a VERY sick cat alive is not the best choice for the cat. There is a fine line between extending a life and extending the pain the animal is in. I feel this doctor took advantage of us as grieving cat parents and pushed drug after drug on us while our 20 year old cat with late stage kidney disease suffered. I know she is not fully to blame. As the owners we should have known when to say "No", but it is also the job of the vet to think of the well being of the animal as well and give us that option. Something this doctor DID NOT do. We left this doctor and moved to another clinic where the new vet gave us the honest truth and our options. Our cat is no longer in pain and we are no longer paying for false hope.
Dr. Corinne Thomas is a great vet! We moved to the Loveland area 3 years ago and this just happened to be the nearest clinic. Dr. Thomas always spends a lot of time with us and our cats, she gives the kitties treats for coming in, and gives excellent care. I'd recommend her to anyone.
Great! You can tell Dr. Thomas really dose love the cats coming in. She gave my cats the best care that they have ever gotten. I wont ever take them anywhere else!
We just moved here from the east coast, and our 17 year old cat stopped eating. I took him to Dr. Thomas, and it is clear that this veterinarian is devoted to cats. She is extremely knowledgeable, and I feel like we are well on our way to diagnosing a tricky problem. I also appreciate how she was conscious of the costs of various labs, and tried to keep the expense as minimal as possible. We will definitely continue to ask Dr.Thomas to care for our animals.
