Lillington Veterinary Hospital

"If I hadn’t switched my cats to this vet, my little man wouldn’t be with us. The staff here are good people and go above and beyond. Our kitten, Lady, was spayed by them and made a speedy recovery. I switched vets to them because I had never had a female pet before, and was anxious for a spay, so I went with the best. I didn’t have a good feeling about our old vet, whose office was poorly run (they didn’t even record when they vaccinated Lady or put her in their system ! which was a hassle when we switched her but they were so patient here figuring that out). I am so so happy I picked Lillington Vet Hospital. A month later, thanksgiving day, out of nowhere our boy, Leo, started behaving like he was in a lot of pain. Hissing, crying, not moving. Stupidly, I thought he had a cut on his paw. Their hours were limited the next day, but they fit us in right away. Most places weren’t even open. We waited only fifteen minutes. Immediately, Dr Janet recognized his defensiveness over that paw was a red herring and that he was experiencing a urinary blockage. It was terrifying and shocking, but we were in good hands. Their vet hospital wasn’t supposed to be open over the long holiday weekend, but to keep him close to home (the nearest open vet hospital was 1.5 hours away), Dr Janet went in to work to check on him personally everyday. The techs called us twice a day, letting us know how he was doing and how much he ate. They were so reassuring and caring. Everyone who cared for him sacrificed time with their families, and we will forever be grateful. He was hospitalized for 3 days with a catheter, sedated, and on a lengthy medication regimen. The techs they have on staff are amazing people and such qualified professionals. I cannot praise them enough. Through the many follow up appointments and weeks long at home medication regimen, they were just a call away and so supportive, cheering him on to a full recovery. The vet techs were personally invested in his recovery and so up lifting. He loves them, even if he is scared of the vet now. He perks back up when he sees the techs who cared for him when he has a checkup. Their compassion and love of animals is that great — he is happy to see the wonderful ladies who cared for him, even if it was the scariest time of his life. Now that he’s on a prescription food, he is back to his happy, healthy, playful self. Once, before a holiday weekend, I misestimated how much food we had left. They were open a few hours that Saturday, but they were updating their system and couldn’t take payments. They gave us the bag of food with an IOU. Most places wouldn’t do that. I was shocked! That’s how good these people are — it really isn’t about the money."
