I waited a long time for my appointment, then spent a total of 5 minutes with the doctor, who seemed in a hurry to be done with me. I pointed out a bit of fuzziness in my kitty's eye, and he told me it could be a very big problem but would not give me any idea of what it might be or possible treatment options. I felt taken advantage of as a first-time cat owner - like my perceived ignorance of cat health meant that this vet could sell me a bill of goods, even as he brushed off my concerns and questions with dire warnings that my cat could go blind and recommended expensive specialists. I had a bad feeling about the place, so I took her to the vet that had treated her at the shelter and it turned out to be a scar from an ulcer she had - it wasn't affecting her vision at all. He could have realized this had he looked at her medical records and recognized the ulcer treatments. He didn't seem to really care.  (Hide)
