I am upset becuase I always brought my cat here. He was breathing funny about 6 months ago and I brought him in to get checked out. Of course when he was getting checked out he wasn't breathing funny anymore. They suggested he get his teeth cleaned which they had to check his blood etc, but didn't think there was anything wrong with him. Thursday I got home and he was laying on the floor in pain, bloated, foaming at the mouth and making horrible sounds. I rushed him to grayslake emergency hospital which they immediately asked to do an xray. They found that he had a serverly enlarged heart and his lungs were 75% full of fluids. If surgery was done his lungs could fill back up immediately and he only would have around 6 months to live, which he would still be in pain. He was only around 11 years old. It upsets me bc if Gurnee would have ran an xray, they would have found this and he could have been on meds and I would have known his days were numbered. Feeling lost.

I adopted a kitten in May, 2007 who turned out to be a very sick little guy. I took my sick kitten, Rukus to the vet who takes care of my dog, but she was not able to get his upper respiratory infection completely under control and claimed there was nothing else to do but let it run it's course. When the time came to neuter Rukus I took him to the Animal Hospital of Gurnee because that is where the Humane Society I adopted him through recommended and paid for the procedure. Dr. Rogers examined Rukus before performing the procedure and called me to discuss the fact that he still wasn't really healthy enough to endure the surgery. We talked about some other treatments and before long, Rukus was growing and thriving and healthy. I absolutely love Dr. Rogers! If you are looking for a caring, compassionate, intelligent, resourceful and true animal lover for a veterinarian, this is the place you need to take your pets. If you love the animals you share your life with, make sure they receive the best treatment possible and take them to the Animal Hospital of Gurnee! I now take both my cats and my dog there too.

As a boxer breeder/exhibitor I can say that I have used several of the vets in the area. As far as being knowledgeable, I can't say enough - they are amazing. When it comes to being caring towards the clients and animals - there is no comparison in this area. This is by far the best vet clinic in Northern Illinois - they care about their clients and animals - and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a new vet, or who is considering changing vets. Each client is treated with respect, each animal with concern and care - Animal Hospital of Gurnee has everyones best interest at heart.
