I followed Dr Abbott years ago when she started her own clinic in Erie , CO . I live in Boulder but getting to her clinic is easy for me - straight east down Baseline before reaching I-25.

In her later years we discovered that my cat needed her anal glands expressed on a regular basis which Dr Abbott says is uncommon for cats . Dr Abbott really knew what she was doing in this regard plus used some sedation as this is not easy on the kitty !

We saw Dr. Wydallis, showing her video of Nico's reverse sneezing attacks and telling her about all the places we've recently traveled. We were prescribed a ten day supply of Doxycycline. After the ten days of that antibiotic were complete, Nico had not improved and also developed really bad nasal discharge. After she started having blood in her nasal discharge, we went back to Foxtail for a follow up. This time Nico was seen by Dr. Grubb. We went over the whole history including explaining all the travel we had done. We were given another ten day supply of another antibiotic, Clavamox. After the second ten day supply of antibiotics failed to improve Nico's health, we contacted Foxtail again. We spoke to Dr. Grubb and, based on her suggestion, we scheduled Nico for a nasal flush along with having a specialist perform a rhinoscopy. The rhinoscopy showed no foreign bodies in her nasal passages. The biopsies also were negative. For two days, she seemed to be doing better. After the two days, the significant nasal discharge was back. Nico had also developed a deep, wet cough. We, again, contacted Foxtail. We, again, saw Dr. Wydallis. She listened to Nico's lungs and took some x-rays. Dr. Wydallis stated she didn't see anything concerning in the x-rays but they would have to be sent out to be looked at. Since this was a Saturday, we were told they would likely have results on Monday. We were also given another ten day supply of Doxycycline. This is now the fourth ten day supply of antibiotics that have proven to be ineffective. The next day, we ended up rushing Nico to UrgentVet with a fever of 104. They examined Nico and took more x-rays. Nico had developed pneumonia following the rhinoscopy, which UrgentVet explained was a common complication from the procedure. We were NEVER made aware of the risk of pneumonia from Foxtail. UrgentVet expressed surprise that Foxtail's X-ray wasn't examined by a radiologist and said that given how ill she was now, more ought to have been done the day before. They gave us a different medication for the pneumonia which helped bring Nico's fever down. We made a follow up appointment at CCAPM and Dr. Landry. Again, we explained the whole story from the beginning including our travel history. He asked, with the travel history, had Foxtail completed a Fungal test. -No. He also asked if they had done a Respiratory Disease Panel and Anaerobic & Aerobic Culture. -No. He told us that, particularly if the antibiotics weren't working, all of those actions should to have been done before the rhinoscopy. Dr. Landy mentioned the possibility of atypical canine infectious respiratory disease. When we contacted Foxtail, afterwards, Dr Wydallis told us she hadn't heard of it. WHAT?!?! It was all over the news for a while. How could she not have heard of it?! After taking a couple cultures from her nasal discharge, Dr. Landry was able to pinpoint the issue and a course of action. Nico was prescribed two different antibiotics that actually helped our girl. To sum it all up, Foxtail put our girl through unnecessary, invasive and expensive procedures. She developed pneumonia due to these procedures and had to be taken to UrgentVet. She suffered through months of reverse sneezing attacks, excessive nasal discharge and breathing issues. All of this could have been avoided if we would have taken her to a more knowledgeable vet. I can't even explain how mad I am about putting our precious girl through the rhinoscopy when all it really took was gathering a couple cultures. Instead of the noninvasive method, Foxtail chose the most invasive and expensive route. All in all, it was a nearly $4000 lesson we learned. Foxtail might be okay for your basic veterinary needs. But I wouldn't risk it.
