Brooklyn Veterinary House Calls?
My poor cat is at the end of the line. He's in cardiac distress after living very well for nine great years. I can't bring him into the vet's due to his heart problem. Does anyone know of a vet that will make a house call so that I can put him gently to sleep? (I am calling his usual vet when they open; I'm just afraid they won't be able to make it here today and I really don't want him to suffer any more.)
Thanks.

Try Greenpoint Veterinary Hospital on Nassau. I'm almost positive he makes house calls.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone. Hope Vet is coming out later today. They mentioned that it's actually on Thursdays when they do house calls, but the doctor's coming today because it's an emergency.
OK, back to crying.

So sorry for what you're going through.
You sound like you're all set, but just in case something goes kerblooey with a house call and you are in search of a walk-in clinic -- the clinic on 318 Warren Street was very kind with me when I had to bring my own little boy in unexpectedly for the same reason. Offering that as a backup (I know that having a backup plan for every "just in case" scenairo helps stave off my own panic sometimes; offering that advice in that spirit).

Response by poster: Thanks, everyone. My little buddy went on his own earlier today, in my arms. He was a wonderful guy.
In his honor, please make sure to tickle all your furry friends.

Again, I'm so sorry, Mixer.
I'll try and get a message to Zach (1993-2010) to keep an eye out for your friend and show him around.
