Animal Medical Clinic of Peachtree City

FELINE CUSTOMERS BEWARE Took my cat in for treating a rash. Dr. John Keenan diagnosed the issue as ear infection and prescribed a steroid, an antibiotic and an ear infection medication (simplera). They took her to the back, gave her the medications and returned her with the third eyelid visible which was not an issue at all when I handed them my cat. My cat had developed Horner's syndrome immediately upon the application of Simplera. When I pointed it out, the nurse took her again to the back, washed my cat's eyes and mentioned her eye should be ok in a day. The issue still exists 3 days after my visit. I did my research and found out that NIH's website mentions "Do not use in cats" for Simplera. Do a simple google search "simplera for cats" and you'll see the NIH article as the first search result. I wasn't made aware before the application of simplera that it shouldn't be given to cats. When I called the doctor the next day to ask about this, the nonchalant response was "I have administered it to a lot of cats and this is not an issue. Wash her eyes with saline solution". I trusted them to treat one condition. Instead because of the doctor's negligence, my cat developed another condition. A second and third opinion from other experienced vets reveal that they wouldn't use this medication on a cat and there is only one medication available in the market (Tresaderm) to treat ear infection in cats. If tresaderm is unavailable, an alternate to this would be a compounding medication with the same formula as that of tresaderm. Instead the doctor chose a dog medication that is frowned upon to use in cats. I understand my cat will be ok in a few weeks but she is going through this issue because of the doctor's negligence. I have been a client of Animal Medical Clinic for 3 years and this is the first time an incident like this has happened. I will never visit them again. Cat owners visiting Animal Medical Clinic beware. There is a doctor taking risk and prescribing medication to cats that shouldn't be given and you will not be made aware of it. I really hope hospital administration takes this seriously for other customers.

Great people they helped us tremendously when our Cat was attacked and injured. They are very attentive to both pet a pet parents needs. And very helpful with finding and working with community organizations like Saint Nick's Closet and Fayette County Animal Shelter. They have Excellent follow-up too.

Was sent here for kitty ultrasound after 5 other doctors could not figure out why kitty was having trouble urinating. Doc went above and beyond and actually found a likely cause. Treating with meds and diet and hoping for best Outstanding help today August 31, 2022. Rescued 6 week kitten and decided to adopt. They cheerfully did required test as a walk in so I could get results before introduction to his new family.

First time I had bad communication but it was 2 different vets back to back. I wanted to ask for advice on behavior but I felt blown off and the last vet I saw maybe he thought I was joking around? But wanted to get out iv the exam room quickly. I do think they are good vets but I would like help on n my concerns.
