STAY AWAY!!!! 1/10/2012

If you love your Pet, please do not bring him to this Clinic. I have been a Medical professional for over 15 years. I brought my Dog to this Vet because he was not eating and somewhat tired. My Dog had a history of Congestive Heart Failure and has been on a Maintenance of Medications for a year and a half. I left my Dog with them on a Friday they did Blood work and Xrays. Upon the findings they determined that it was his Liver and told me that he was in Liver Failure. They then treated him with an IV fluid and Antibiotics and told me that he would have to stay through the weekend. We called them constantly and went to visit our beloved pet of 11 years daily except Sunday as they are closed. I was assured by the Vets and the Staff that my Dog was doing well and that his Liver levels had gone down and possibly he would come home on a Monday. They told me to call Monday morning to talk to the Vet and see if he would be coming home that day. I called as directed and the Vet told me that he wanted to conference with the Vet who originally was caring for my Dog and to call back in 4 hours. I called back as directed and he told me that we could pick him up at 5pm that day, We picked up my Dog and he was not home for 5 minutes and Died in my arms. As you can imagine, I was heartbroken and shocked. When my pet arrived home, I noticed that he was struggling to breath and had fluid in his lungs.. keep in mind that I am in the Medical field and knew right away what the problem was. I was going to rush him back in there but never had the chance as he died. This clinic gave my poor little guy an overload of Fluids knowing his history of Congestive Heart Failure. To put this in perspective they killed my Dog! Also they did not give him his Medications that he had been on for over a year because they said that it would harm his Liver.. does this make sense? Anyone who has a bit of knowledge about Congestive Heart Failure knows that adding more fluid in the body will in fact kill you!!!! I am so appalled and sickened that they even sent my pet home in ths condition. They never once indicated that he was in danger and could die! When we picked him up we told them that he was not right and that he was worse than when we brought him there.. their reply was ""he will be fine.. he just has not eaten in 3 days he will perk up""! To appease us the Vet checked him before we took him home and said ""he will be ok""! You mean to tell me that being a Vet he could not hear the Fluid in is lungs??? My pet although had this Heart problem NEVER was showing signs of fluid in his lungs. These people are the most insensitive, uncompassionate, rude people, I have ever met! Then they told us the bill was over $700.00 and that if we did not pay we would go to Collections. This was the very night my Dog died in my arms after being home for 5 minutes. This was said to us when we called them right after my Dog died! So. please do not bring your Pet here and spread the word as much as you can.. so this will not happen to another animal! They are incompetent and the office is unorganized and all the Vets and staff do not know what the other is doing. I had to speak to a different Vet every time I called. My Dog may have been sick but to put it as bluntly as I can they induced his death! Comment on Review Delete Review more
