Dr. med. vet. Martina Sommer

A very nice vet. I took my female budgie there in an emergency. Even though the vet isn't a bird specialist, she gave her a combination injection of vitamin B, antibiotics, and cortisone. The next day she was perfectly fine again. Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, I can't share the enthusiastic reviews. Ms. Sommer was covering for my regular vet. I brought my 8-year-old cat to the practice because she had stopped eating. After a brief examination, she diagnosed gingivitis and prescribed painkillers and antibiotics. She told me to come back the next day if there was no improvement. There was no improvement, so I came back again. My cat received an IV, but now she has to eat. A day later, I went to the veterinary clinic because her condition had deteriorated significantly. There, they discovered a chicken-sized tumor in her abdomen, pressing on her lungs, and one of her kidneys was also affected. The attending vet's comment was, "It's very embarrassing if you can't feel something like that; you don't need an X-ray or ultrasound." Of course, they performed them anyway, and that's how they discovered the damaged kidney. My cat was euthanized due to the poor prognosis. Ms. Sommer is a nice woman, no doubt, but I need a competent vet for my animals, not just a friendly one. ... Why this large tumor wasn't detected by her remains a mystery; it was shown to me at the clinic, and I felt it myself when the doctors showed me where it was.
