I worked with Dr. Loken at the Community College in Az. back in the 80's. I visited him when he had moved to Cal. and I have to say he is a great Veterinarian and as compassionate as they come.

Warning~my cat died as a result of Loken failing not only to realize my cat was having a reaction from annual vaccinations but also for failing to take appropriate action. Calls to his office within a very short time after the injections were met with ineptitude and I was told it was just "nervousness" from the office visit. I insisted my cat was having a reaction to the vaccinations. Their office refused to consider this. I insisted on bringing my cat back into the office. Even so, Dr. Loken refused to accept the possibility of a vaccination reaction. He had no idea what to do. He gave my cat an injections and sent me home with him. My cat suffered horribly, seizured and died in my arms two hours later. Even afterwards he was dumfounded.

UPDATE - May, 2013

The veterinary board has cited Loken for "negligence, respondent failed to provide adquate therapy for a system post-vaccination reaction on 7/19/2011. Also for record keeping and failing to document "complete physical exam finding, complete drug dosages, surgical procedure description and a diagnosis/assessment in a 2010 medical record". He was issued a fine of $500.00.

Additionally, Loken had a dog bleed to death after his attempt to inject a microchip. A proper microchip injection does not require placement anywhere near an artery.

Please THINK before taking any of your animals to this vet.
