The vet did not let us know that the cat had ulcers in her mouth. Did not provide us with any insight, gave us some antinausea pills (for a cat that won't take anything in her mouth). We just realized the cat had ulcers when we had a pre-euthanazia exam with another vet.

Highly recommend her.

First off, I cannot comment around My Cat Sitter's cat sitting visits in your own home - I believe…read moreshe would do a good job, but do not have experience with that. I cannot recommend My Cat Sitter's cat boarding service where the cat(s) stays in her home. She is great with the cats, but the room where cats are boarded is not clean - there were stains and old litter on the floor, and must have been a lot of smells left behind by the previous cats who stayed there. The house is also quite loud (two small dogs, plus loud people), so if your cat(s) prefer a quieter place, you may want to reconsider. Our recent experience there resulted in two very stressed out cats, who are still trying to recover a day later. Like I said, the owner is great with the cats, and appreciated the availability on short notice. But because of the cleanliness and loudness, and how stressed our cats were as a result of their stay, I can't recommend this service of My Cat Sitter.

You can tell the owner really loves dogs and is passionate about dog rescue. She does not discriminate against bully breeds.

My husband and I came to 4 Paws late on a Sunday night for a sad reason. One of our pet rats, sweet…read morelittle Honey Bear, had come to the end of her time with us due to a pituitary tumour and had to be pts. Honey Bear was sick and very weak, but also extremely shy and scared of anyone not family. The person at the front desk was very kind and let us pay in advance. She then gave us privacy in a room immediately. The next vet tech to come in explained how it would go, then took gently scooped up Bear to go sedate her. The tech was even cooing to her as she left the room to calm her, so Bear didn't even struggle. In about 5 minutes she brought Bear back, all wrapped up cozy in a baby blanket. It was the cutest thing ever. She explained that it would take about 5 minutes for Bear to be fully sedated, during which time we could cuddle her and say goodbye, which we did. Then the tech came in and asked if we were ready, and we let Honey Bear go. We were not present during the procedure because it's too traumatic for small animals, and anyway Bear was already asleep. The whole procedure was so peaceful that it made us feel much better. They did not for a second insinuate (as so many people do) that rats are meaningless disposable animals. Honey Bear meant something to us, so the staff treated her accordingly. They were so kind and gentle every step of the way. A few weeks later we received a card in the mail - a sympathy card, signed by all the staff!!! On top of that, they made paw prints of Honey Bear's little feet and sent them to us. We were overwhelmed. 4 Paws is not our regular vet because of distance, but we would not hesitate to recommend them no matter what you and your pet needs.

Nov. 26, 2021: A…read morefew hours after his very first dose (1/4 pill of mirtazapine for appetite, 1/4 pill of tapazole for hyperthyroidism) our cat, Milo, is vocalizing, has an abnormal gait (ataxia), is restless, trembles somewhat when he stands to eat/drink and is lethargic. He still uses the box well enough, but if no one is with him he'll fall in it. Thankfully though, he's still eating and drinking; albeit, not very much. If he doesn't get that shit out of his system soon, I fear a very extremely difficult decision will need to be made... one that we are not even remotely ready for. On top of everything else, the vet who gave our baby this toxic garbage didn't even give us the correct bag of fluids; he needs saline, we requested saline, but she gave us plasma lyte--AND NO HOSE!!! Due to this horrible experience, it will be a very long time from now before we feel confident enough to give another cent to another vet for anything other than euthanization! When I called the vet back she tried to claim the change in him was the result of advanced CKD before calling it a coincidence, blaming it on his CKD, as well as his age. Very quickly after she suggested he spend the weekend at the vet for a "rapid flush". THE WEEKEND?? AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY?? WHY, SO THEY COULD KILL HIM AND CLAIM HIS CKD WAS THE CAUSE??? Or did she suggest it because she KNOWS just how badly she fk'd up??? When I explained that other than for his dehydration, HE WAS 100% FINE, she immediately went silent! After poisoning our baby, we will never fully trust another vet for as long as we have left on this planet! Mirtazapine risks:: The most common adverse effects reported to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center in 84 cats intentionally or accidentally exposed to oral mirtazapine included vocalization, agitation, vomiting, abnormal gait/ataxia, restlessness, tremors/trembling, hypersalivation, tachypnea, tachycardia, and lethargy. Tapazole risks:: Methimazole's (as it's otherwise known) risks include vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, blood clotting, and blood cell abnormalities. It should not be used in pets that are allergic to it, or those allergic to carbimazole or polyethylene glycol. Cats with autoimmune disease, liver disease, *****kidney disease*****, or blood and clotting diseases should not use this medication, or it should be used with extreme caution and significant monitoring. UM, FKN, WHAT??? NICE DOCTORING! NOT A SINGLE SIDE POSSIBLE EFFECT WAS EXPLAINED TO US NOR WAS IT ADVISED THAT WE MONITOR HIM WITH EXTREME CAUTION! Additionally, at the very first appointment we had with M. Jahncke she mentioned euthanasia may be necessary and that was even before she examined Milo; who at the time was still very active! When we called her today she mentioned euthanasia THREE FKN TIMES IN A SPAN OF FIVE GODDAMN MINUTES! WTF??! On top of all that, Jahncke said, "He should be checked for hyperthyroidism." This YT vet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3qeRtfeckU) very clearly states that hyperthyroidism and renal failure go hand in hand. So, Jahncke charged us $120 extra for something she most definitely already knew Milo had just so she could tack on even more money for poison pills, she most certainly knew the negative effects of; after all she holds the fancy vet degree... Zero stars! Would not recommend! Nov. 27, 2021: Update: Our cat is no longer with us; he was euthanized today. He became immobile the day after we originally Yelped about Bedford Parks. Side effects of the aforementioned drugs:: He could no longer lift his head; his nose was practically dragging on the floor. He was yowling, sliding all over the floor, trembling when he tried to walk, and could not even look at the people who love him unless he was being cradled in our arms or laying on his side; which was the most comfortable position for him to be in after all the shit drugs destroyed him. During one of our snuggle times, I lifted his head to look at his eyes, which is when I noticed his head/neck felt very heavy and rigid. WTF DID THOSE FUCKING DRUGS DO TO OUR BABY?!? To all those who have a beloved furbaby, please NEVER take them to the greedy, heartless, incompetent staff at Bedford Parks (North End Animal Hospital, East Hants Animal Hospital, or Eastern Passage Village Vet Hospital) as I can't imagine Jahncke or anyone who works with Jahncke are any better; morally. And please NEVER give them the drugs I've listed above. I've spoken to several dozen people in a CKD-specific pet group; many of them have had similar/identical issues happen to their precious babies as what has happened to our beloved treasure, Milo.

My experience with Weste Animal Hospital, most busy. The front staff at times is a bit raffled,…read morewhen it gets too hectic. However; Dr. Redgrave makes up for it, as he is not only knowledgeable and timely, he saved my dogs life, as 6 months ago, we were not sure how the out come turn out. Everything he told me was clear evidence of competence with his advise towards wellness, as she was 12 years then, and had a mass tumour removed from her nose. He not only removed it. He was knowledgeable enough to explain to me how it may or may not unfold. As it's now June of 2021, during a pandemic of unruly predictions of our future, never mind a dogs future in these hectic times. She so far has not only survived the surgery, she will be 13 years this Oct. Shes still loves her walks, and enjoys every morsel of her new lean protein diet, and enjoying life more then ever. As she has a few respiratory issues before the tumour, and with Dr. Redgrave's advise was bang on throughout prior surgery, and after. We take each day like it could possibly be her last, with love, exercise, good diet, and hope she will be with us for more lasting tomorrow's. As for time now has given us 6 more months with my baby, and I appreciate Dr. Redgrave, and all Weste Animal Hospital has done for her, and us! Be patient with this busy Animal Hospital located in Lawrencetown. As they maybe busy for a reason. Thank-you, to all of you, and a very special thank-you to Dr. Redgrave! I not only recommend them, I so respect them on being one of the most reputable Animal Hospitals in city or out. Their rates are more then fair, not sure why anyone would dispute this, as I would think maybe they require more study, and experience on their own accord! Terri H.
