It is actually two vets, at the same clinic. Both of them see my cats. There is a whole plethora of reasons that I feel like I would like to see a different vet. I have many specific examples, but I would have to write a book to explain everything. The bottom line is I just don't feel confident in the (often conflicting) advice that they give me, and I kind of feel like they do not know what they are doing anymore. I often feel like I know more than they do. Both of them seem totally clueless about things like nutrition (I would like to get advice from them), and one of them cannot even seem to remember what medication my cat is on or how much. This is a small clinic, mind you. If it were just a matter of taking my cats in to get their yearly shots or check ups, it would be fine, but I have a cat with a chronic condition that is only five years old and will need frequent vet visits and monitoring for the rest of her life. I just don't feel like she will get the qualified care that she needs. This is a clinic that I have been taking cats to for close to twenty years, but one of the vets has only been there for about four or five years. I am not very good at confrontation, but I will have to explain myself in order to get the medical records if and when I decide to switch vets. Any advice on what I should say?
They are nice people and always greet me by my first name when I walk in the door, but I just don't feel like it is working out.
For those of you that live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, can you recommend any good vets in Crowley, Burleson, Joshua, Cleburne, or southwest Fort Worth? I would especially like someone good at giving nutritional advice and treating gastrointestinal disorders. Someone that is not so "drug happy" and likes to try a more holistic approach would be great too. I appreciate any advice.
