General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Too little Insulin will result in a higher blood sugar (greater than 300mg/dl). When the blood sugar is too high, sugar goes into the urine and draws water with it and the patient will experience increased thirst. Increased thirst causes the patient to drink a lot of water and therefore more frequent trips to the litter box. Appetite also increases since the patient can't use sugar for energy and the body's cells are essentially starving. This can h appen if the body's need for insulin increases, due to resistance or infection. The diabetic cat burns fat for energy (can't use sugar) and that results in weight loss. If too much fat relative to sugar is burned, the side product is ketones. Ketones decrease blood PH. Decreased blood PH leads to Ketoacidosis (ketonuria) and can be detected with a urinalysis. Too little insulin is more of a long term danger as you have more warning and it progresses slowly. Clinical signs include decreased appetite, sweet smell to breath (Ketones), vomiting and diarrhea.

Professionalism

The staff and Dr. Tracy are great. Dr. Tracy has always placed the interests of my cat at the top. I've been going there for years and would have difficulty changing vets. Once yogurt to know the people therein becomes clear that they love the animals they deal with.

This place has been around for years. Very caring staff, very knowledgeable. If your cat is like another one of your family members, then you can feel secure in taking them here.

Best Cat Vet EVER

I have been taking my cats to Dr. Tracy McFarland since 1990. From the moment you meet her you can just tell that she has a special understanding of cats that most vets don't. She always takes time to explain everything, and she and her staff have hearts of gold. If yoy have a cat & haven't been to her yet, you need to go now. You will be happy you did & so will your babies!
