We first came to UW Vet Hospital for our beagle Mia who was having recurrent urinary tract infections. They confirmed she had transitional cell carcinoma, a type of bladder cancer. The staff was great, especially Dr. Fernandez, in explaining everything and what the options were. Mia ended having to have a stent placed and then she started chemo. Everything was explained well during our visits, we would get follow up phone calls to make sure things were going well and detailed write-ups via email. It was always easy to get in touch with someone when we had a concern. Mia did really well at first but unfortunately, as is typically the case with this cancer, the chemo stopped working and the cancer metastasized. Mia was on palliative care for a while after that and sadly we said goodbye early this February, she was 13. While the outcome wasn't what we were hoping for, the UW staff were so helpful and attentive through the entire process. I can't say enough about how much we appreciate everything they did for Mia.
