Athens Veterinary Service

"Noticed blood in my cats urine in the middle of the night and called every vet in the Wausau/Merrill and nearby areas but none of them had availability. I took my cat to the emergency vet in Kronenwetter and they couldn’t see my cat because she was aggressive towards the staff and then they entered emergency triage and my cat was not considered to have anything life threatening. With only 2 hours left of the clinic being open, Athens told me they couldn’t take anymore patients but then asked me to bring her in as soon as I could so they could try to help. Within 10 minutes of being at the clinic they found the issue and got my cat the meds she needed as well as scheduled for the bladder stone removal. I also informed the vet that my cat can be aggressive before they took her and she told me it wasn’t a problem and handled it extremely well. I am so thankful for Athens Vet!"

"I drive 45 minutes to them! My older lab was hopping on 3 legs. My vet consulted another one there to get a second opinion for treatment. My dog is so much better, but best if all, they are so respectful whenever I call or go there."

"Called to get my sick dog seen. My regular vet was short staffed and couldn’t get her in for weeks. I spoke to a vet about what was going on. She was extremely condescending. She belittled me for things I didn’t know. And then acted like she was put out because I wasn’t a regular customer. And they don’t normally see people that don’t go there regularly so she would have to charge me emergency rates even though I could have just made an appointment in the next few days. I was upset about my dog and had called numerous vets to have her seen in a couple days not weeks so I was also very stressed. I didn’t have to option of getting to Eau Claire or Wausau for emergency services either. She could have just said no or at least been nice. But I got off the phone more stressed and crying. It’s called being professional which this clinic is not!!!"
