In my opinion, the best clinic in Batumi. Professional doctors and administrators, good equipment and most importantly, everything is very friendly. I have an anxious dog, but even the doctors have found an approach to it and it is very pleasant. It's not scary to leave the dog in a day hospital for the whole day, because I know that the dog will be treated carefully. Well, the bandages on the paw with hearts are separate
It seemed that the specialists imposed unnecessary procedures on us for the sake of money. Or simply incompetent.
They treated a kitten named Orange, whose salivary gland became inflamed and a lump formed in his mouth.
I'll tell you the background first:
We live in Tbilisi ourselves, but we were passing through Batumi.
On September 5th, we found a lump in the kitten's mouth. On the same day, I went to the clinic in Tbilisi, the kitten was examined by a therapist and said that his salivary gland was inflamed and a surgeon's consultation was needed. But there was no surgeon in this clinic that day. We planned a trip from September 6 to 10 from Tbilisi to Batumi. The therapist of the Tbilisi clinic said that it was not worth canceling the trip, but it would still be necessary to consult with the surgeon upon arrival back. The kitten felt good at the same time. I ate and played. But since I am anxious in this regard, I decided not to take risks and not wait until I arrive back and decided to consult a surgeon in Batumi at the Impulse clinic. The clinic's reviews inspired confidence.
On September 6th, we arrived for a consultation in Impulse. I would like to ask the surgeon exactly how critical our situation was. As a result, both the therapist and the surgeon examined the kitten and said that they needed to take a cytology test from this salivary gland and at the same time make a puncture so that the lump would go away. I repeatedly asked the doctor if it was exactly reasonable in our case to do it now, because this procedure was performed under anesthesia, and the cat was stressed because of the long journey. To which she said that this lump could burst at any moment and the cat would get worse. Well, after hearing these words, of course I agreed!
What we have in the end: the lump came out again on the same day after the manipulations of the surgeon of this clinic, the procedure was absolutely useless!
The next day, I called the clinic, said that the lump came out again, they told me that according to the results of the analysis, the kitten had inflammation. But it was clear even without analysis! Of
course, there was no clear answer from the doctors to my question, and they said that they needed to have an operation to remove the salivary gland, and that there were NO other ways out.
We did not do it, it was time for us to return back to Tbilisi. The kitten would simply not have had time to rehabilitate itself, and we already need to go back. The kitten's condition was still good.
Upon arrival in Tbilisi, I went to another clinic. There we were prescribed ANTIBIOTICS and anti-inflammatory drugs. The lump was pierced again, but without anesthesia and very quickly, literally in a second. And she passed.
Without surgery.
They also told us that manipulations made in the Pulse were not necessary.
125 lari were wasted. Why do this puncture under anesthesia and take unnecessary tests? Why it was impossible to think of prescribing antibiotics is unclear.
We visited the clinic today with a cat, got vaccinated. Peaches was very afraid, but valiantly withstood all the procedures performed by a very sensitive and attentive Dr. Lev. We immediately felt that we had fallen into the hands of a specialist) The doctor answered all my questions about nutrition, water, and also consulted on the issue of antibodies, this information turned out to be very useful and important.
I also want to mention the work of the specialist at the reception - very friendly and friendly. She also gave us some useful tips about the next appointment.
It is very convenient that there is a veterinary shop next to the clinic. In general, we are happy with the visit, for all cat health issues - only there!
