We had an elderly family cat. She was getting underweight and I was concerned. My regular vet couldn't get her in until the weekend, so I took her to Oak Village Animal Hospital to hopefully help ease my mind. My cat experiences anxiety during vet visits and I did my best to keep her calm, but the Oak Village Animal Hospital didn't do much to make to accommodate my cat. The vet techs and the vet treated her very roughly. After the exam the vet then gave me his best guess as to what was wrong with her and started her on medication. When her test results came back a few days later, nothing indicated the problem the vet was treating her for. In fact, the medication he was making me give her resulted in my cat having random diarrhea accidents throughout the house. I confronted the vet who still insisted my cat needed to be medicated for a problem that didn't exist. He was very condescending--I understand he went to veterinarian school, I wasn't insulting his intelligence, but the tests did not confirm his original diagnosis. It took another in office visit and two phone calls to get him to consider any other diagnosis. He started my cat on another medication and insisted on a follow up appointment. I did not like this vet, their staff, their insistence on medicating my cat. I spent hundreds of dollars. I feel like they played off my fears that my elderly cat might be suffering, or worse dying, and attempted to bleed my checking account dry. I went back to our regular vet, guess what my vet's diagnosis is--she's getting old. All the trauma, medication, and hundreds of dollars and there was nothing at all wrong with my cat other than she was getting old.
