And nothing that would benifit a cat's kidneys, especially at $30 a month...

Small clinic. Nothing fancy. One Vet and two assistants. We asked for a full exam. They took blood, ran it though the machine, and sat down with us and discussed every single result. Blood test... not a damn thing wrong with her kidneys (or any other problem.) EVERY result was withing normal range.
But to be sure, the Vet suggested an Ultrasound. Did you know you can actually see the kidneys pumping?!? And in Felicity's case, pumping perfectly clear and wide open!

That other Vet clinic was scamming us every step of the way. There oughta be a law!

That your cat doesn't have kidneytrouble. My last cat, before Polly, had it. And she suffered. I had to give her injections with water under her skin to hydrate her. I cried and cried when she finally died.

And now, after the relief of not having a sick kitty............go for that #%^*+#%^*+ clinic! What were they thinking......
