I hope that no one ever has to experience the vet visit with Bloomington Blue Sky Vetrinary Clinic like I did today. I felt belittled, rushed, mistreated and disrespected. I also feel that my cat got treated incorrectly and too harshly. I left crying my eyes out. If you are wanting to know the details of this experience, here is what happened:
I came in with concerns about Cisco’s persistent diarrhea.
I was holding back tears within minutes of interacting with the staff.
I have had cats my entire life and have never been to a clinic where the animals were handled as poorly as Cisco was. He was not by any means struggling or resisting, yet he was constantly being held down, not allowed to roam the closed space when we were simply talking, was kicked away from the door before I could simply pick him up, and he was handled pretty roughly in instances when I know it could have been handled much less harshly.
Cisco purrs at the vet and in the car; he is not an anxious cat. He was purring at first but soon became much more anxious than I have ever seen him.
The very first thing that happened was the doctor checked his ears. He swabbed and checked for mites, then explained that there were no mites and it was likely an infection (there was a tiny bit on black gunk). I asked how he knew--as Cisco's ears had just been checked at another vet, looked the same, and raised no alarm there--and he just said "you can see it."
I tried to ask if there was a way to test or if they could just be dirty? After all, his ears have never bothered him, and my questions were not receiving answers. I even called the other vet to ask about their process, and they told me that they would normally run a test to tell if it's an infection, and that they would have asked the owner if the ears were bothering the pet. If not, they would have cleaned the ears and asked the owner to watch for irritation. I wish I would have gotten an interaction like that. I felt like I had no voice.
Then, without asking for medical history (which I brought and provided), or without asking for the stool sample, the doctor said "We're just going to go ahead and deworm him."
To this, I (re)explained that he had been dewormed and had his stool tested on 9/8/18 and no "worms" had shown up. The doctor ignored me, looked at the couple papers I brought for a second, and said I can't find where he was dewormed on here. I had forgotten to bring that paper. Then, he said again they were going to deworm.
So, now sweating and ready to burst into tears, I explained again that he had been dewormed and asked if I could call the Humane Shelter to get proof. He said "put the cat in the box while she calls and we'll see another patient."
At this point, I had been in the room for maybe 4 minutes. Isn't my money and my time worth being able to keep that room an extra minute to call the shelter?
I was sent to another room and the nurse shoved Cisco in his box that gives him extreme anxiety. I would have preferred to do that as you could tell he was not a fan of the staff. The call took me about 30 seconds, but I had to wait again to see the doctor and Cisco had to get anxious by going in his box again and to a new room.
Cisco had been treated with Drontal on July 2, which I was told should be a "one and done", "top notch" treatment. Not to mention, the other vet visit did not cause issues in this area.
Again, through sweat and holding back tears, I had to fight for why I was sure he did not need dewormed.
Eventually another nurse came in to gather some additional info. When I explained the kind of treats we gave Cisco, she rolled her eyes at me as if giving him Temptations treats was equivalent to giving your child cocaine. For one, it's called a treat for a reason.. for another, BloomingPaws uses this to help pets with shots, and lastly, how am I supposed to know that it's "like giving your kid McDonald's." And is it bad to treat your pet for reinforcement?
At this point, I want to walk out. I feel I am not getting heard, respected, or the help I need.
The doctor came in, treated his ears (which I still think are not infected, but paid to have treated as my voice was being silenced). Even the treatment of Cisco's ears made me feel as if the doctor had a ticking clock of 30 seconds to be in the room, and he was unable to take time with me, him, be gentle, or be patient. He left again to get some bland food and stomach treatment. As he was opening the door, he asked me to pick Cisco up, but didn't give me time to respond. Thus, he kicked Cisco accidentally on his steps out of the door, and nearly closed his head in the door.
By the time I left the clinic, I started balling. I had to sit in my car for a couple of minutes to decompress. At this point, Cisco was panting from anxiety, which he has never done, even on vet visits where he's gotten shots.
I am very disappointed with the treatment both I and my cat got today.
I am sad that Cisco had such a horrible experience, especially given that he has purred all throughout more traumatizing vet visits.

Not good, excepting once, for "bedside manner," and usual receptionist being so gruff. Hours of operation extremely difficult if one works 8am-5pm (their office hours) and then 10a-noon on Saturday. I've yet to find their hours online. They also recommend emergency care an hour + drive away in Indianapolis, although there are local vets that could be called. I do like that they are so generous with their work at the Animal Shelter. They also do not over-prescribe.
