  • Warning: this review contains multiple references to cat enemas and green vomit. My girlfriend and I adopted a cat from Toronto Cat Rescue about four years ago and made the Animal Hospital of High Park our vet because it was in the neighbourhood and we were new to the city (this was, obviously, in my pre-Yelp days). Initially we had Dr. Regan, who was rather brusque and didn't give the impression of being especially concerned with the best interests of our cat or our wallets. Definitely pushy with the vaccines and not great about going over financial options before deciding on a course of treatment. So, we switched to Dr. Loews, who we liked a lot more. She was very thorough and patient with our drama queen of a cat during checkups, and was open to discussing our various concerns. She was also the vet to provide care when our cat became quite ill. One day I noticed she was puking green so I took her in and Dr. Lowes concluded that there was some kind of obstruction but that it would require x-rays to know for sure. We got the x-rays and there was indeed an obstruction, so a series of enemas were prescribed in the hopes that surgery wouldn't be necessary. No obstruction emerged from the enemas, but our cat seemed to get better and another round of x-rays confirmed that whatever it was had disappeared. All this treatment, including IV fluids, overnight fees and sedation, cost about $3000, a full tenth of our combined grad student annual income. I don't necessarily feel ripped off because our cat did get better, and I don't know what (if any) the alternatives would be. From what I can tell, Dr. Loews did a good job, as did the vet techs (though I do wish that they would have cleaned our medium-hair cat up a little post-enemas instead of leaving it for us to do when we got home... talk about unpleasant). Because she was so traumatized by the illness/experience we've since switched clinics, and our vet visits have been a lot less stressful for all concerned.
