Anna, I have found that University Vet School Hospitals are so much better than people hospitals when it comes to keeping patient's families informed.

Several years ago we had to take one of our cats, Grady, to Michigan State for repair of a badly fractured left femur. He was there just 48 hours, but in that time they called us at least 8 times - keeping us up to date on the surgery, etc.

We are so thankful that if needed, we are just 49 miles from MSU.
