    We crossed paths with Charlie Brown & his brother Snoopy (of course) when we visited a Hotel / RV…read morePark Resort in Guaymas Mexico. They were living under a garbage dumpster and surviving on small bugs. At 2 pounds each there was no way they could get up into that dumpster where the good stuff was. Needless to say, when we left several months later, they were our new traveling companions. Upon arriving back in the states we took them to a vet that we TRUSTED. Bad news ! Charlie Brown had feline leukemia ! For the next 9 years they were as tough as junkyard dogs (or cats) . Then about 10 days ago Charlie started bloating up,he quit eating and drinking much, and wanted to sleep in a dark spot all day. Was his leukemia rearing it's ugly head after all this time, we wanted to know, but were afraid to ask ? We were spending the summer in a strange town, 240 miles each way from his vet, but we crossed our fingers and starting looking on the internet for some HELP. We found Alta Sierra Veterinary Hospital, which is owned by Dr. Kristin Bell. Her clinic's web-site is extremely professional. Extremely. She claims to have a CARING STAFF and the dozen or so reviews (on her website) back her up to a pet. All those reviews and not a single negative syllable ? We rushed Charlie the 45 miles into town on a Monday and after checking him in (paper-work) Ms Bell came into the room and starting reviewing the situation. Did we want to check him for the leukemia virus ? Not necessary we replied, their was no doubt about it. Did we know which virus ? No. Well,she could drain a small amount of the bloating fluid and could tell by looking at it. OK ,but why not drain all the fluid I asked ? No answer. She was busy picking Charlie up to take him and drain some fluid. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME SHE TOUCHED HIM. Upon returning a few minutes later she told us which virus he had. It was either 3 or 4 initials. Neither of us would later remember. She would give us a prescription that might slow things a bit and she had some cat food high in protein that would be good for him. We waited a long time for the prescription, paid our bill ($275.00), and left. As luck would have it we had to return on Wednesday for a doctor's appointment for me. I asked my wife to go into the clinic and find out which virus Charlie had and to get some of that cat food Dr. Bell had suggested. She was informed the doctor was out of the office for the rest of the week, their was no record of which virus Charlie had, and they had no idea which food she had recommended. Good-bye, who's next ? Could they send her an e-mail for the info. NO NO She's out of town ! $275.00 and they couldn't answer 2 simple questions ? They knew we had a cat that was dying, but where was all that COMPASSION ? We've been in a lot of veterinarian's offices. We know COMPASSION when we see it. NOT HERE
