Anticipated Serendipity

Best Vet Ever

November17

I absolutely adore the vet who takes care of my kitties’ health.

Dr. Vijay of Healing Rooms is the most patient and thorough vet I have ever met. Not even the vets I’ve seen in the States come close to match his passion in caring for his patients’ health.

I took the 2 furballs to get their checkup yesterday evening (the other furball’s turn will be next week since I can’t manage all 3 simultaneously). Once in the examining room, I opened the carrier to let the cats out and Dr. Vijay sits on the floor with his clipboard and their records, and patiently observes the cats’ behavior and movements.

He noticed that Misty had a slight limp in one of her hind legs (which I’d never noticed!) but he assured me that she’s not in any discomfort because she didn’t display any sign of pain.

While examining the cats’ ears, he stuck his finger in their ears and dug out some of the wax, and put it to his nose to smell it (!) coz he explained that if it had a foul smell, that means that there’s something not right in the ears. Gosh, I’d never ever seen a vet so thorough! He does this each time I take them in for their checkup and his dedication to his work in ensuring the health of his patients (imagine sticking an animal’s ear wax to your nose and smelling it!) never fails to amaze me!

Another thing that I like about Dr. Vijay is that he doesn’t recommend medication for every single condition/ailment that my cats have. For example, Nessa’s been having this chronic skin thing, where she would lick herself in her hind quarters till the fur around her rump is sparser than the rest of her body. I wouldn’t call it a problem because Dr. Vijay had done all the tests that he deemed necessary to find out what exactly the problem is but he couldn’t find anything wrong with her. He had given me the option of giving her a hormonal steriod medication to treat the “skin thing” but he also informed me that he doesn’t really recommend it since the “skin thing” doesn’t seem to cause her any discomfort. As long as she isn’t displaying any pain/discomfort, I can just let it be. And also the medication could cause some side effects, which he had seen in some cats though the majority responded to the treatment well. So, I decided not to give Nessa the treatment and opted to monitor her “skin thing” to make sure it doesn’t get worse.

He takes the time to explain to me about my cats’ health and never ever makes me feel like he’s rushing me out of the clinic so that he can attend to other clients, even though his clinic may be full. I can’t say the same for some of the doctors that I go to for my health check!

So yes, if you are looking for a good and capable vet, I most definitely recommend Dr. Vijay of Healing Rooms.
