I took my 2 kittens in to see Dr. Larkins in mid to late may for their yearly exam and shots. I told the doctor to do a full work up on the boys and to do a feline AIDS and leukemia test. Dr. Larkins focused heavily on stool samples (knowing both kittens had already been treated for parasites in their bowels) and never performed the test, undenounced to me. When he came in to do their shots I asked him what shots he was giving them so I knew. I had in the mean time also explained to him that both had access to the outdoors and also came from a home with many cats. Dr. Larkins informed me that my cats were getting 2 shots each, 1 was a combo for distemper/ rabies and the other was a combo AIDS/Leukemia. I agreed to it and went ahead with the exam. 2 weeks later I returned with my kittens to have them neutered. I got home and in my instructions was not listed anywhere how long to administer the anti-biotic. 2 weeks later one of my kittens fell mysteriously ill so I took him to a vet closer to my home when he took a turn for the worst. There I was informed he was in the late stages of Leukemia and I chose to end his suffering. Upon further looking to the records from Dr. Larkins he and his brother never received a Leukemia test or vaccination. Having to tell my 3 younger brother that our kitten wasn't coming home from the vet this time was the most painful thing I have ever had to do. I would never recommend him to anyone sure he is cheap but you get what you pay for.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Neglegent, Deceitful
