I recently had to take my fifteen year old cat to the Vet after I noticed a spot on his arm. He had trouble walking down the stairs, but was otherwise fine. After taking him to the Vet, the staff demanded that, in order to give him pain medications, he had to receive a rabies shot (which didn't make sense, since he was an indoor cat). The doctor's reasoning for the shot was because he had a possible case of carcinoma (cancer that develops from epithelial cells), but was unsure of the stage the cancer was in). After the shot (and the blood work, along with a hefty bill), I received antibiotics for him along with suboxone for pain. Well, two weeks later, despite being fairly healthy, he was declined to the point on the break of death. When calling the vet concerning this, all they could advise was to bring him in. Basically, they didn't bother to offer any assistance over the phone and made it sound like I was a monster for having the nerve to ask a question and waste their time. I don't want to go on record to say they could have killed my cat (because I don't know that information and cannot prove it), but their standoffish attitude and lack of empathy didn't help the situation at all. It doesn't help a cat who used to eat without cause can no longer eat or drink anything two weeks after a visit. I'm kicking myself for going to the closest place instead of doing research and not trying out Orchard Park Veterinary Center first. It may or may not have made a difference, but at least they would've cared.

I tried this vet for my rescue puppy and will never return. Perhaps it was the female doctor I was given, but the experience turned me off too much to try another doctor. Very pushy and like to prescribe unnecessary drugs. I had my little guy checked out the following week from another doctor and received a completely different analysis. One that didn't leave my pocketbook empty and with a garbage bag full of drugs. Like I said it could have been the doctor I was given.
