Other David Jacobson Web Sites CRF Supplies Calcitriol for Feline CRF ACE Inhibitors for Feline CRF Updated 3/19/07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alabama East University Veterinary Hospital Pete Marine, DVM (practice owner) Kathy Tamblyn, DVM 1675 E University Dr Auburn, AL 36830 Phone: (334) 826-0360 This is a practice where you need to let the vets know that you want to be aggressive in treating your animals, but they will definitely work with you. Dr. Marine is more of a dog vet, and Dr. Tamblyn is more interested in the cats (but they both take great care of all the animals). They are very open to a discussion of treatments, but at this time do not have BP monitoring equipment. We have a house full of cats, and over the years we've grown ever more impressed with this practice -- they will work with you money wise if you tell them up front you have to make payments. They will gladly give you copies of your cats' labs, will call you and return your calls. They don't rip you off on prescriptions, and will write you a script for fluids and supplies from online once they realize you are serious and knowledgeable about your cats. Tell them Shelly and Frank recommended them! Shelly Ducharme, PharmD, Auburn, AL 5/30/06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I still highly recommend this practice -- these vets are super nice people and they definitely do good work Shelly Ducharme, PharmD, Auburn, AL 3/19/07 Vestridge Animal Clinic Dr. Anne England 1444 Montgomery Hwy Birmingham, Al. 205- 822-0210 Reviews Dr. England helped us tremendously with our two aging cats -- one with Pancreatitis, liver disease and a multitude of related problems, and one with CRF and related problems. She is very knowledgeable in geriatric care and very willing to work with you in order to figure out the best course of action for your cat. Along with her knowledge she has a heart of gold, rare to find this combination in vets these days. Suzanne Elder -- 12/7/04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alaska Cornerstone Animal Hospital Dr. Cindy Trout 1600 E. Tudor Rd Anchorage, AK 99503 Phone - (907) 569-7277 Fax - (907) 569-7280 Reviews Cindy Trout originally diagnosed my Lestat back in June of 2000 with CRF. She has been instrumental in my fight to nurse him back to health and supports my research and helps me to check out treatment possibilities and new drugs, etc. She encouraged me to learn to do fluids at home and refers people to my Caring For CRF Felines yahoo group and all of the links we provide there - which includes your list!! BTW, Lestat is a happy and healthy CRF kitty! O. K. as healthy as you can be with high BUN & Creatnine -- 1/6/02 Judy Chadwick -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We normally go to Dr. Cindy Trout, too, can't say enough good things about her. She remains our "regular vet". But we had an emergency last weekend and I was extremely pleased with the care we got at Diamond - a 24/7 emergency hospital. They were compassionate, very competent, professional and thorough. Rosemary Dunn 9/4/03 Golden Heart Veterinary Services Mark May, DVM 615 University Ave Fairbanks, AK 99709 Email: markmay@maydvm.net http://www.maydvm.net/ (907) 479-4795 Warning: At one time, Dr. May had a note on his web site that says that he will not write prescriptions! We don't know his current policy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arizona Dr. Marjorie L. Nard 3580 S. Vista Place Chandler, AZ 85248-4381 Phone: 602-540-0838 Fax: 480-732-9061 Email: mlnard@aol.com Holistic Mobile vet treating pets in the Phoenix, AZ metropolitan area. Another friend recommended her and we began having our pets (3 cats and 1 Golden Retriever) see her in the beginning of May 2006. She has a wonderful manner with the pets as well as humans. Currently, she is working with a vet Animal Hospital (University Veterinary Hospital - see my 2nd vet/clinic recommendation below) to coordinate care and run blood work. Our dog has begun having seizures and my 19 year old kitty has hyperthyroidism and was just (on 6/20/06) possibly diagnosed with Renal Failure. He had a quick and dramatic turn for some reason and the kidneys are tired. With Dr. Nard being so mobile and seeing patients as far out as Apache Junction (I live in the newly revitalized part of South Phoenix), she advised having this partnership in case a need to get the animals seen quickly would arise. She uses Oriental treatments, Chinese Herbals, and shamanist methodologies as well. She is very thorough, very easy to have rapport with, and open to dialogue. She is very helpful in providing web sites that other clients have found with better prices for buying any pre-packaged food they purchase, though she strongly encourages minimal processed food of any kind. For the occasions you might still need pre-packaged food, she has recommendations for better food choices than what you will find at your local Petsmart. I like the options presented by having a holistic vet working for my pets' best interests. 7/1/06 - Pam Morrison Kellen Aspen Veterinary Clinic PC 7861 N Hwy 89 Flagstaff, AZ (928) 526-2423 Reviews Desert Mobile Veterinary Services Karen Ivin Lyons, DVM 2021 E Amber Ln Gilbert, AZ 85296 480-497-6362 Fax 480-497-3906 House calls, holistic vet practices TCM, acupuncture and allopathic medicine as well. Dr. Ivin has extensive training in acupuncture and a wonderful bedside manner. Many non-invasive procedures can be done in your home as well since she has a portable anesthesia unit. Calico has gained 2 pounds since we started seeing her. She also works a lot with homeopathy and herbal remedies, but does not hesitate to use antibiotics when necessary. I feel like we have a great combination of Eastern and Western medicine that has benefited all of our animals. -- Alyssa Fallert, Calico, El Tigre and Scarlett (the dog who loves cats), Phoenix, AZ Union Hills Animal Hospital Dr. Susan Goshert 1933 West Union Hills Drive Phoenix, Arizona (602) 863 6629 I have 2 elderly cats, one in kidney failure who can be quite difficult (her name is Miss Psycho if that's any indication!). Everyone on staff are very understanding and compassionate and treat Miss P. as gently as possible and try to make her comfortable as she has her many tests completed. The offices are clean and the staff extremely knowledgeable. Miss P. was diagnosed 4 years ago and with medication and certain food her blood tests have not changed in 2 years. 10/21/05 - Eydie Jerome University Veterinary Hospital Drs. Wright and Flegenheimer 2500 S. Hardy Drive Tempe, AZ 85282 480-968-9275 Email: uvhgus@aol.com http://www.universityvet.com/ Reviews Reviews The UVH has also been terrific - both doctors we've seen there have been very easy to work with - Doctor Wright and Doctor Flegenheimer. They are open to suggestions, not above a recommendation from an outside doctor, and are working to be very cooperative with Dr. Nard [mobile holistic vet] with no prior experience of sharing clients, especially not with a holistic vet. When Dr. Nard called and requested they run an additional thyroid test on Jaz's prior blood work when his T4 came back in a normal range, 3.3 (after it having been over 6 in 11/05 and his dropping 2 pounds since 11/05, and with a heart rate of 300 bpm at his exam with UVH), the vet promptly had the test done. He phoned with the results, and felt terrible for not having this run initially. They have been prompt with phone calls and going the extra distance from my experience to date, which is still in the new stages, but I am so far impressed, overall. 7/1/06 - Pam Morrison Kellen Spanish Trail Pet Clinic Dr. Donald DeShazer 9431 E. 22nd St., Ste 121 Tucson, AZ 85710 (520) 722-2771 http://www.myvetonline.com/website/spanishtrailpetclinic/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- California Alamo Animal Hospital Drs. Anderson and Atwater 3176 Danville Boulevard Alamo, CA 94507 (925) 837-7246 Email: AlamoVet@aol.com http://www.myvetonline.com/alamo Berkeley Dog and Cat Hospital 2126 Haste Street Berkeley, CA 94704 Phone (510) 848-5041 Fax (510)843-1817 http://www.berkeleydogandcat.com/ Reviews When we arrived in march of 2003, Tiggerbearhad lost a lot of weight and wasn't eating. Our original vet wasn't very helpful or optimistic. But Dr. Schachter gave us options and treatments available and would listen to us and either she or one of her vet techs would give us answers to our questions. When she left for maternity leave, Dr Parker took over her patients. By that time Tiggerbear had developed hypertension and anemia and soon after crossed the bridge. Dr. Parker gave us the same wonderful treatment and help we had with Dr. Schachter. The staff at the front desk and the staff for the specialized services are warm and caring. Tracee Bragg -- 6/12/04 [Editor's note: The recommended vets are no longer at this hospital 10/17/06.] Cat Clinic of Orange County AAHA Accredited Specialty Practice Diane Steinberg, DVM Diplomate, ABVP Certified in Feline Practice 1680 Tustin Avenue Costa Mesa, CA 92627 (949)631-1454 Fax (949)631-6569 http://www.catclinicofoc.com Dr. Diane has upwards of 14 years experience practicing vet medicine, and she takes special interest in the geriatric feline patient with the oft multiple medical problems that must be precariously balanced. She and her staff are gentle and sensitive to the special needs of the feline patient and take care not to over stress their patients. Having once been a vet tech myself, I observe & experience a gentle veterinary practice headed by a veterinarian who excels in feline diagnostics. When I left the pet health field and the vet I worked for retired I was left bouncing from one veterinary practice to another before finding Dr. Diane and, with confidence, building a patient/veterinarian/client relationship with her. -- 10/16/02 -- Maria Pappas . Crossroads Veterinary Hospital Dr. Ric Delgadillo 694 Pleasant Valley Road #10 Diamond Springs, CA 95619-9249 (530) 642-9504 Fax: (530) 642-2703 He used to be at Pocket Animal Medical Center and was the vet who helped me to treat my CRF angel, Fuzzy. Highly recommended vet for geriatric and CRF kitties. -- 11/25/02 -- Laurie Kneppel Animal Medical Center of East County Katie Smith DVM 600 Broadway El Cajon, CA 92021 Phone: 619-444-4246 Fax: 619-444-4282 Email: bharnish@animalmedicalcenter.info http://www.animalmedicalcenter.info/ Reviews When my CRF cat was diagnosed a few months ago my world turned upside down. After the diagnosis and my search for a new vet, it was recommended that I see Dr. Smith. I am so glad I found her because she is now treating my CRF cat and my world is no longer upside down ... Dr. Smith is very knowledgeable about the disease, and open minded to the issues I bring up regarding treatment as well as caring and supportive. I drive half an hour to see her and it is worth it. So, I really recommend her to anyone in the San Diego area. Magdalena Laffaye -- 10/8/04 Veterinary Internal Medicine Service Helen B. Hamilton DVM, MS DACVIM 1612 Washington Blvd. Ohlone Village, Upper Level Fremont, CA 94539 http://vetinternalmedservice.com 510-657-9151 Two excellent internists, Drs. Diana Bowen and Helen Hamilton, who are tops in their field. [Dr. Bowen is no longer at the clinic 3/19/06] They have the knowledge (and the equipment ) to diagnose and treat your cat.

Gordon Way Los Altos CA 94022 (650) 948-3773 Dr. Walker has been our family vet since 1985 and is a skilled diagnostician and treatment expert. The referring vet called him a "vet's vet." Not as much was known about CRF when our cat was diagnosed but Dr. Walker was on top of every possible research topic and monitored every aspect of the disease and had us watching for all possible symptoms. This plus early diagnosis gave our cat five quality years living with CRF (cancer took his life). 2/28/02 - Carol Moholt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Walker is a wonderful, caring vet. He lovingly cared for our CRF cat & was incredibly supportive throughout the whole time. His prices were unbelievably reasonable (never mind that his practice is in Los Altos!). I can recommend him without reservation. -- 6/10/02 - Sabine Trammell -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Brent Walker ... was my cats' vet for about 25 years until we moved across country. I think he is the best vet in the world, both excellent technically, with good instincts for diagnosis, and very caring about animals.

He is William Davies, D.V.M. He is the director of Petville Animal Hospital in Los Angeles. Dr. Davies is a very wonderful and caring doctor and very knowledgeable about CRF. He takes time to answer phone calls and faxes. He does not mind when I run things by him from the CRF list (some doctors hate that). 3/2/02 -- Sheila Kaufman VCA Animal Hospital West Dr David Bruyette (DVM, ACVIM) 1818 S Sepulveda Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90025 (310) 473-2951 http://www.vcawla.com/ Email: david.bruyette@vcamail.com Vin Consultant Information Reviews It was a sad day in Kansas City when Dr Bruyette left for Los Angeles.

He was great and was actually the vet that found the mass on my cat's (Baci) pancreas. Also, he was wonderful in helping us w/Marvin's throat cancer and was so kind when we had to end Marvin's life. One thing Dr. Scibelli did was make sure vet techs put in IV line in so there would be no problems delivering the meds. He told us that it can be very difficult to locate veins in sick dehydrated (and older) animals. This made the experience much more tolerable. Dr. Scibelli has a great gift with animals ... especially cats and he has so much compassion and kindness for the animals...and for the HUMANS. He's able to solve problems and is really intelligent...capable of making accurate diagnosis. Dr. Scibelli also changed my dog to Lotensin for her heart condition.

My cat Sally Ride was literally dying from the effects of diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease when Anyes suggested we get an appointment with Dr. Stubbs. I had already taken her to five general practitioners and two Internal Medicine Specialists but decide to go ahead and drive two counties away for a 3rd opinion. Three times is the charm -- Dr. Stubbs was able to get Sally Ride's IBD under excellent control -- she's now 18 1/2 and enjoying her golden years. 3/1/02 - Claire Powell Clanton-Malphus Veterinary Hospital & Pet Motel Drs.

We have been treated with great kindness, respect and dignity since going to ACC -- the vets are knowledgeable, caring, and obviously love animals. They have a wonderful relationship with the University of Illinois vet college, and confer regularly with the staff there on cases. And the support staff at ACC is marvelous -- the vet techs, the desk staff are ALL professionals who care so deeply for the fur members of our family.

Devon Avenue Chicago, IL 60646 (773) 631-5300 http://www.chicagocatclinic.com/ Reviews In my 20 plus years of owning cats, Dr. Nordwall is by far the best I have ever encountered. I generally adopt cats that are elderly or have other health problems that make them "unadoptable." He is especially good with elderly cats. I can't say enough about how superior the treatment of cats is by Dr. Nordwall and the other Chicago Cat Clinic vets. -- Cindy Circo Zahora -- 5/12/05 Family Pet Animal Hospital Dr. Marla Minuskin Jennifer Smith 1401 W. Webster Ave Chicago, IL 60614-3037 Phone - 773-935-2311 Fax - 773-935-4528 http://www.familypetanimalhospital.com/ Reviews I recommend my veterinarian. A kidney specialist was part of the practice for years, but he moved to his own practice 2 years ago. While there, however, he gave the group a lot of good basic knowledge about treating CRF - and currently consults with them on their CRF patients. I would recommend them to anyone in the Chicago area. My favorite doctor there is Marla Minuskin ... but she is busy and can't always take new patients. However, the other vets are also all very good, particularly Jennifer Smith. 3/1/02 - Jennifer Byers Hyde Park Animal Clinic Dr. Jean Beau 5210 S Harper Ave # G Chicago, IL 60615-6019 (773) 324-4484 http://www.harpercourt.com/hpanimalclinic.html Reviews Reviews They readily prescribe fluids, Winstrol, talk about other treatments (Epogen, etc.), have an info sheet available, talk cat not numbers, have multiple foods. Willing to talk about different management strategies, and Dr. Beau is willing to talk about alternative medications. Have BP, will do ultrasound. Have posted the avatar site on their BB, although that wasn't how I found the site. Downs: sometimes have trouble seeing the same vet consistently, although they are all sympathetic. Varying levels of treatment based on vet, yet they all have strengths: Drs Hollis & Beau are good long term & diagnostic & communicativeness, Dr. Hautzinger is gentle in manner for blood draws and BP, Dr. Wake is good for emergency stuff and will calm a person down in a panic situation. Also, they are very good about seeing chronic patients with short notice if necessary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jean Beau of Hyde Park Animal Hospital in Chicago . . . was my vet in Chicago and was really excellent. She put Jack on Steve's Real food which slowed the kidney deterioration almost to a halt. She is innovative, intuitive, very bright and will do things you wouldn't normally expect of a vet, including helping me evaluate vets in Maryland when I moved there. I thought so highly of her I drove to Hyde Park from the North Side, if that means anything, for her to see my animals. 3/6/03 - Beth Townsley Roscoe Village Animal Hospital Dr. Scott Rovner 3131 N.

I highly recommend him. -- 3/22/02 - Dalia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Scott Rovner is the most wonderful vet. Not only is he an expert with CRF in cats - he is an expert with human beings and will always find time to explain everything, try innovative approaches and especially, get you in immediately when your cat is crashing.

Karen Mermel, Hanover Park, IL 1/29/04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We started taking our kitties to the Northern Illinois Cat Clinic about 10 years ago. Dr. Rebecca Schmidt is marvelous and I swear was a cat in another life. Unfortunately the charges for cat care at her clinic have skyrocketed astronomically. In addition, for a number of months up until recently, we started feeling hounded as someone from the clinic would call at least every other week in what seemed to be a telemarketing capacity. As a result we're searching for cat care elsewhere, kdo -- 4/23/06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Rebecca Schmidt is without a doubt the best cat doctor in Illinois.

He is extremely knowledgeable about CRF, is open to new ideas and suggestions and is very thorough. Monitoring blood pressure is a given with him for my CRF kitties. There is no hesitation to do testing that is needed in order to make an accurate diagnosis. The clinic has access to a cardiologist and an ophthalmologist. St. Joe is a multi-vet, state-of-the-art facility and recently moved to their very own new building. It sits adjacent to the Northeast Indiana Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital. NIVES has a board certified surgeon plus other vets who limit their practice to emergency and specialty care. It is open 24/7 and when animals need to be monitored around the clock, they are transferred to NIVES for the night. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who lives in my area; they are the best!

Dr. Lacopo, of Kryder Vet Clinic in Granger Indiana was so kind to us ... he allowed us all the time we wanted with our baby before he put her down. He also allowed for us to hold her while he did it. He showed genuine concern and care for both us AND our baby. He did an absolutely wonderful job of making the best of a bad situation. Andrew Long -- 12/29/03 Cat Doctor Dr. Alice Juel Johns 5654 Georgetown Rd Indianapolis, IN 46254-1512 (317) 291-2287 ajcatdr@aol.com Reviews Dr. Alice Johns was one of the first veterinarians in the nation to be certified as a diplomate of feline practice by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. Dr. Johns is always available to speak with me about Lucky and returns phone calls promptly. If a trip is made to the emergency clinic, she calls me first thing the next morning to follow up. She takes the time to help me understand and doesn't get annoyed when I ask her to repeat things. She's open for discussion on all issues and even cooperates with our other (retired) vet, Dr. Carolyn Blakey, who treats with alternative methods. A great example of the care given by Dr. Johns is that she refused to do Lucky's dental on the same day she was doing three others. Why? Because she wanted to have plenty of time for US! The procedure was done today and Lucky was the ONLY ONE scheduled for today. That says it all! She's concerned not only with her patients' needs, but those of their human "parents!" She called me every step of the way to let me know what had been done and what she was doing next. The moment Lucky was finished, we were called and invited to come sit with him as he was recovering. Dr. Johns is one of a kind! 3/2/02 - Sheri -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iowa Cat Clinic of the Quad Cities Dr Lisa Kulemin 4917 Utica Ridge Road Davenport, IA 52807 (563) 355-2927 Fax: (563) 355-7799 QCCatDoctor@aol.com You will love Dr Lisa Kulemin and her love of cats.

Although she handles all kinds of animals. I have four cats and with her coming to my home it has been an enormous help.

She's also very supportive in difficult situations with the cats, i.e.; one has FIV and is in the final stage - Sub-Q fluids, guidance for care and another one is always getting injured, etc.. Dr. Snodgrass has been our vet for around 10 years, and I'm very grateful to have found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone within the area.

The facility itself is wonderful, and as a cats-only operation, is very quiet and comfortable for our feline friends. The staff could not be friendlier or more capable, and Dr. Sinclair herself is outstanding. She is active in VIN, and keeps up to date on all the latest treatments. From a "bedside manner" standpoint, she can't be beat. She draws the perfect balance in being compassionate and caring, yet straight-forward and honest. I've never walked away with a feeling of "I'm not doing enough" or "I'm doing too much." She helps you work through all the emotions of dealing with a chronically ill animal so that you can make rational decisions that you're comfortable with. In summary, I simply couldn't ask for more. -- 1/24/03 -- Jane Gilbert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Sinclair was also recently certified by the Board of Veterinary Practitioners as a Specialist in Feline Medicine.

Dr Sinclair is absolutely the best vet I have come across in all my years of owning cats. I wish I would have found her many years ago. She only treats cats and her staff is top notch. I don't know what I'd do without her. I have 4 cats and although two of them are extremely cage aggressive, she treats them with the same care and attention that she gives EVERY animal that comes through her doors. Cat Sense is wonderful. Thanks so much, Carla Barbera 2/15/06 Hyattsville Animal Hospital Robert G. DuBois DVM 4567 Rhode Island Ave. Brentwood Maryland 20722 301-864-2325 http://www.hyattsvilleah.com I got cases of Abbot labs Normosol R for my CRF dog for 41 dollars per case from a vet! I also got needles there for 7 cents per needle. In the years of dealing with the dog's, Jack, health issues this vet was one of the kindest, most thorough and ethical people I have ever met. God I loved him. His name is Robert DuBois and he is located in Brentwood Maryland. When I initially called his practice he came to the phone himself after learning I was shopping for a vet experienced in managing a pet with renal problems. He also took a great deal of time with us upon the initial visit. He does handle cats. He has several cats in the back of his clinic that were dumped off for one surgical procedure or illness or another and the people never claimed them. He doesn't put them down or out. He houses and cares for them, until an appropriate person comes along who can give a cat a good home. Dr. DuBois is exceptional human being and one hell of a vet. 2/27/03 - Beth Townsley Cat & Dog Hospital of Columbia Dr.McPartland 7276 Cradlerock Way Columbia, MD 21045-5069 (410) 995-6880 Reviews Reviews Town & Country Animal Hospital Dr. Sara Moran 2715 Olney-Sandy Spring Road Olney, MD 20832 (301) 774-7111 Reviews I have been a client of Dr. Moran's for 18+ years. She never fails to be responsive and compassionate when presented with an ailing feline. Over the years we have dealt with the normal URI's and pregnancy-related issues in a breeding cattery. She has also treated the more complicated issues of pyometria, supportive therapy in a variety of rare conditions, and refers to an appropriate specialist when needed. She has helped me when babies and adults crossed Rainbow Bridge, and is always responsive to a telephone call for assistance. I highly recommend her and the entire staff here.

Is willing to give multiple transfusions and continue care despite age. Example: Arthhur-epogen antibodies-will get 3rd transfusion there tomorrow. Very very reasonably priced (best I've ever seen) for superb care. She is absolutely wonderful. Calls from home to check on patient. Takes calls immediately when you call with a concern. They have "24 hour" coverage with an answering service and will not send you to emergency clinics most of the time. I have finally found a truly great vet. 3/3/02 - Bonnie A.

Dr. Brum looks at my info from the CRF list as something to examine and learn by, and is not insulted that I might suggest things he doesn't know about, or if I want to be more aggressive about treating a particular test result. As long as he thinks it's reasonable, he'll support me in it. He is not familiar with homeopathic treatments, but is open to them and recommended a homeopathic consultant. The Boston Cat Hospital.

Dr Tapscott originally diagnosed my baby, and Dr. Willard has also seen him. The vets discuss cases amongst themselves to brainstorm other solutions, or possibilities. All have been very forthright in what my options are, and are flexible with payment plans... We all know this can get expensive. Everyone from the office manager to the techs to the vets know Oliver and care how he is doing. They make frequent calls to see how he is doing. They are all very aware of what is going on in the veterinary community, who does transplants, new drugs new treatments and explain the pros and cons of each and how well it has been tested and the results. They also value the cat's quality of life, don't encourage procedures simply because they are available. -- Amy E.

Andrew -- 4/25/03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital in Woburn, MA. We do not recommend this hospital. The ER staff is not experienced, and the hospital staff seems generally focused on making money rather than providing good care. We had several bad experiences with this hospital. If you go there, make sure you tell them that they need to ask for your consent before performing additional, expensive, invasive tests on your pet. Try to do some research before choosing this hospital. We would never use this place again. After having several cats, we can safely say that Angell Memorial has more experienced doctors, but you have to ask around to find out who their more seasoned vets are. Feel free to email us.

Jesse Lyn Sisk-Samuelson -- 2/27/05 .. Oakland Animal Hospital Dr. Patti Pilsbury 180 E. 2nd Street Rochester Hills, MI 48037 (248) 651-0303 Dr. Pillsbury is a fantastic vet and great CRF resource! I took my little guy, Rupert, to see her for what I thought may be a behavioural change - he'd been urinating on some plastic that was placed in my house for renovation. Dr. Pillsbury noted he had some white blood cells in his urine and suggested follow-up blood work, which revealed early stages of CRF. She is very compassionate and certainly knows about CRF kitties - she has been looking after her own little girl w. CRF for 2 - 3 years. She started Rupert on Normosol fluids and a potassium supplement right away, with a regimen to ensure his blood work is monitored every 2 - 3 months. MJ Johnson -- 8/22/05 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She has been absolutely fantastic, as are all the vets at this hospital. One vet, Dr. Matyas, diagnosed my little guy w. HCM and recommended atenolol for him which has kept him ticking along for over 3 years (he is now 17 years old). Last summer, I took my little guy in to be checked for a UTI (he was peeing inappropriately), and Dr. Pilsbury immediately suspected, tested and diagnosed CRF. She recommended additional medication and sub-q fluids which has incredibly helped him! His blood values have stabilized on the low end and he's been doing VERY well for a year. Not only was Dr. Pilsbury open to learning about alternative treatments such as slippery elm bark, she has started recommending it to her other CRF kitties. She is kind, compassionate and completely committed to the best care for elderly kitties. In fact, my non-CRF baby who is 16 years old benefited from her compassionate care - she noted he was a bit 'crackly' and recommended chondroitin for his joints. Incredible response! What a tremendous vet!!! MJ Johnson -- 5/9/2006 Michigan Veterinary Specialists Ned F. Kuehn, DVM, MS, DACVIM 29080 Inkster Rd. North of 12 Mile Rd. on the east side of Inkster Southfield, MI 48034 (248) 354-6660 http://www.michvet.com/ After two years of not really treating a serious kidney infection at several general vets, Dr. Kuehn was able to get to the bottom of the problem and recommend therapeutic treatment that has greatly improved his health. My cat's ultrasound was read by an expert who was able to identify the exact problem, and the culture MVS took grew bacteria - when a culture at the general vet never did. The hospital is 24x7 for continued care throughout the night, and they have state of the art equipment. Dr. Kuehn is just one doctor among many specialists at MVS. They take general appointments as well as emergencies. kawendland@comerica.com -- 12/20/04 Exclusively Cats Veterinary Hospital Steven Bailey 6650 Highland Road, #10 Waterford, MI 48327-1661 (248) 666-5287 ecvh@exclusivelycats.com http://www.exclusivelycats.com/ Reviews Ypsilanti Animal Clinic Margaret Muns DVM 37 Ecorse Road Ypsilanti.

I knew he and his staff were caring, compassionate people who treated our cats well during routine check ups, dental cleanings, and vaccinations. It wasn't until April of 2002 that we realized this was a vet that would be there when the going got tough. Our older cat Cleo had swallowed a mole, whole, that was lodged in her intestines. She couldn't budge it. Dr. D. acted swiftly and decisively in diagnosing the problem and operating. She's happy and healthy today with no complications. In April of 2003, our younger cat Jeter crashed and was admitted to an emergency clinic. After a prognosis of CRF and certain death and being given no hope, we transferred her out of that clinic and back to Dr. D. He was open to treating her CRF aggressively and understood immediately that we weren't going to give up without a fight. His entire staff is caring and taught us how to do fluids.

Sigmon, DVM, DABVP 3435 Kildaire Farm Road Raleigh, NC 27606 Email: CCAHosp@aol.com http://www.creaturecomfortsvet.com/index.html Dr. Betsy Sigmon founded Creature Comforts Animal Hospital in 1998. She is a 1981 Auburn University School of Veterinary Medicine graduate and a Cary native. After 13 years as a partner at the Apex Veterinary Hospital, she elected to start a hospital devoted exclusively to small animal medicine and surgery. Dr. Sigmon is a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, and is certified in canine and feline medicine, one of only 10 with this designation in North Carolina. This certification requires advanced training, research papers, and a successful completion of a rigorous examination. She was also North Carolina's Distinguished Veterinarian of the Year in 1991.

After scouring ten of Cleveland's west side suburbs, Avon Animal Hospital, owned by Dr. Martti Putkonen, was the only practice to be found with the Doppler equipment to do proper feline blood pressure testing and years of experience in using it and treating the feline hypertension so profoundly important to the CRF cat. Practitioner Dr. Anita Poling, a cat owner and lover herself, takes a special interest in feline renal failure and is on top of all the latest findings including Ohio State's Dr. Larry Nagode's Calcitriol studies and is a regular user of the therapy. This is also the practice that sells a Kidney Failure Diet Package, a sampler of most, if not all, of the available canned and dry prescription renal diets available for our all too finicky CRF cats to taste test. -- Rachel Taylor Nine Lives Cat Clinic Dr. Amy McKay 25990 Highland Rd Cleveland, OH 44143 (216) 738-1942 FAX: 216-738-7076 I have two FeLV cats that she has kept alive and reasonably healthy for 3 years now. She has brought one, in particular, through some pretty tense times. They are happy and content, living with a friend of mine who has no other cats. I have one other cat that got a strange viral infection at 3 months that she pulled through--I was sure I would lose him. She is very up-to-date on vaccination protocols and other such recent research, as well as very caring. Nancy Schuman -- 6/4/2006 Rainbow Vet Clinic Dr. Linda Mitchell 2636 Noble Road Cleveland Heights, OH 44118 Voice: 216-291-3931 Fax: 216-291-3961 http://www.rainbowvet.com I've been very pleased with my vet and would recommend her to others treating CRF kitties (or any other kitties for that matter). She has been very helpful, is knowledgeable about CRF and has been cooperative about helping me keep costs down by giving prescriptions when I find cheaper online sources. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to add my support to Dr. Linda Mitchel of Ohio listed on your web site. Only, she is no longer with Blue Cross Hospital; she's hung out her own shingle and can be found at Rainbow Vet Clinic, 2636 Noble Road, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118. I had a diabetic, later crf cat and we loved Dr. Mitchell who greatly assisted us in doing home care when feasible. She also has days where she will come to the house thus lessening stress on the cat (and mom of a toddler). Devorah Hoffman 5/16/06 Cats Only Vet Clinic Cynthia L. Bowlin DVM, ABVP Feline Janet K. Cohn DVM, ABVP Feline 3416 Riverside Drive Columbus, Ohio 43221 614-459-4105 http://www.catsonlyvc.com/ http://www.catsonlyveterinaryclinic.com Reviews I am recommending Cats Only Veterinary Clinic in Columbus, Ohio. They have two Board certified feline specialists and were the only place I found that would even talk about things to keep my cat Christopher going after his kidney problems were found. They have all the latest equipment and most important have the patience to work with people like me. CDeNiro@aol.com -- 4/17/04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been a client of Cats Only for over 16 years, and wouldn't take my cats anywhere else. Cats Only has board certified feline specialist vets on staff that are considered experts in their field. They are always up on the latest cat medicine research. The hospital and equipment is top-of-the-line, the staff is friendly and obviously very caring about cats. They even have a hospice program that has been a big help in the past. They are not the least expensive, but the care is well worth it. Stephanie Miller -- 5/24/06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an amazing, high tech veterinary clinic with the very best cat vets and staff. . I breed cats for show and was a client for 7 years (unfortunately, I had to move out of state) and they helped me with every kind of cat malady imaginable. They are not only smart but kind and caring as well – they became true friends of mine.

They run a first class operation and give nothing but the best care. They have even turned away clients wanting only minimal care for their pets. The office is very up to date with necessary medical equipment. Dr. Bater also has several special needs pets of her own. -- 1/13/02 -- Ronald W. Treat Best Friends Veterinary Hospital Dr. Ritchie 275 W. Olentangy St. Powell, OH 43065 (614) 889-PETS (7387) http://www.bestfriendsvethospital.com Our cat was taken to Best Friends when he was near death, cause unknown. His renal panel numbers were off the charts. For 3 days, we didn’t know how/if he would recover, and Best Friends took the best care imaginable – not just of the cat, but our family as well, even with twice daily visits from kids. They really knew what to do, and had a new state-of-the-art facility that helped us feel like he was getting the best care possible.
