What's wrong with it?

We had a super scary experience with our boy. He's 16, and we thought we would end up needing to say goodbye to him and letting him cross the rainbow bridge.

They retook X-rays and it showed my kitten was only constipated and did NOT need surgery. Dr… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

I have used Normandy Animal Hospital for many years now, I have had numerous dogs I have taken to them. The Vets that have worked there are very good and caring. The biggest issue I feel is the wait time since they do not take appointments. View on Google (opens in new tab)
