Dr. Liz is wonderful. One of my cats, Clyde, had green gooey stuff coming out of both her eyes. I took her to Great Falls Veterinary Services, and Dr. Helms did a *very* cursory examination, charged me $50 and had me get $80 worth of medication; he said she had a fungal infection. After 30 days of this medication, Clyde was no better. So I took her to Best Friends and they did a very thorough exam, scheduled her for a biopsy the following Monday, and gave me some anti-biotic stuff to put in her eyes. In the end, Clyde was diagnosed with lots of allergies. In this case, we stumbled on the fact that she's allergic to birds... heh.. rather amusing, but apparently, not unusual. With prednisone she'll be fine. I have had all of my animals records transferred to Best Friends (I have 6 cats). The also called me on Tuesday, the day after the biopsy, to make sure she was alright. They are amazing, and I would not go anywhere else. I have sung their praises all over town!

He's saved our dog's life at least twice, and on one of those occasions two other vets had already told us her condition was probably fatal.

Was it an ear infection, or something more serious? Hope she's better. I've two, too. :-) Any updates on your kitty? Was it an ear infection, or something more serious?
