It's difficult to believe that local veterinary clinics ignore serious problems with feral cats. Every town with a veterinary clinic that is owned by Dr. Holly Roe-Johnson has a serious and devastating feral cat issue. I first brought this issue to Eureka Vet and they suggested I go somewhere else. I then took it upon myself to buy traps and start trapping the feral cats myself and paid full price for these services through Eureka Vet. From the start they were rude to me and difficult to deal with even talking badly about me to locals. I think guilt guides their behavior as they are vets who ignore serious issues with domesticated animals in their own neighborhoods. The 4 cats I paid to be neutered and spayed all did not receive the proper ear-tipping and each time I mentioned this to the employee I dealt with. Looking point blank at the face of each 4 cats I could not see a notch or ear-tip. Of course this is the only reason to tip the ear, so that the trappers can see the tipped ear and not target the fixed feral cat. They told me they did a deep and narrow notch because of blood veins involved and because that's what they do with pigs. Of course this is nonsense, as it is universal to tip the left ear of a feral cat that is spayed and I've been doing it for 35 years. They were lying to me and comparing feral cats to pigs. Finally I sent them a message with links to vets who work on feral cats and that they all cut the tip off and none of them notch deep in to the ear. Again this is so anyone can see that they are fixed, wild cats. This made them so mad that Bill Brower messaged me that they will no longer provide services for me. When I called he refused to allow me to speak to the actual owner. Bill Brower is simply a guy who answers the phone. I made it clear I must speak to the owner and called several times and then Dr. Holly Roe-Johnson did call me back and told me I was fired as a client, lol. They were very over-sensitive from the beginning and angry because they did not want to work on feral cats and couldn't care less that these animals are suffering. I've been doing this kind of work most of my life and a few vets do not want to work on feral cats. Dr. Holly Roe-Johnson only considers her point of view as a vet. What is not understood by Dr. holly is that ear tagging is for those who work with these cats, those who trap them and get them fixed. With no way of being able to see that they are already fixed, those who do this difficult work might target a cat who is already fixed. We might trap them and hold them and take them to a vet. Again the ear-tagging is 100 percent for the trappers, not for the vets. Closed minded fools can not learn and only see things from their own point of view. I found out later that they were not only angry that I brought them feral cats but they were angry that I took this issue up with the city counsel and I mentioned that Eureka Vet was only able to work on 2 cats per week and that they were not happy doing just the two. This truth offended them and they took it out on me. I paid full price, out of my own pocket to get these feral cats fixed. I am the one doing the right thing by getting them spayed and neutered as this is the only way to deal with the problem instead of ignoring it while watching dozens of cats freeze to death each winter. Small town ignorance. I'm trapping, feeding and caring for these domesticated animals who have been forced to live in gutters in the worst possible weather. This is a people problem, not a cat problem. People made the problem and people perpetuate the problem. SD is worse than any Third World country I have been to.

Sophia was awesome with my German short hair that sliced her ear open on bar wire. They were funny and kept me from fainting with all the blood. They said it was obvious I was not a doctor. Great experience, caring knowledgeable people. I’m not sure of the nurses name, she was exceptional as well. My wife says to pass along the thanks for taking care of one of her four legged kids.

We have a 12 week old Chessie pup and we're in Eureka to hunt with our older Chessie. The little one had an Urinary infection. Doc seen us even though we're from Wisconsin and not a client. The pup got a checking over and some meds to put her on the path to getting well. Excellent service and compassion. Thanks a million!!!
