I brought my dog to south view animal hospital in the hopes to diagnosis his problem. My dog would mess in my house and drink water non stop. When researching this on the internet, It showed diabetes and possible tumors as a result of the his symptoms. I called to make an appointment to get a urine test done to check for diabetes or what ever it might be causing his sickness. When arriving for the appointment the doctor told me that I would need to have two test done since he had water, nobody told me not to give him water??? This should have been a red flag for me but I agreed because I was desperate to get this problem fixed with my dog. After the tests were done they came back negative. The doctor told me we would have to try more tests, so we did. All the tests coming back negative. I was about $800.00 dollars into tests and all the vets kept coming back with is ""we need to do more tests"". Frustrated I brought him down to south saint paul vet hospital. I explained the symptoms and the vet did one test that cost me $130.00. This test telling me he has a rare form of diabetes. It blows my mind that I spent $800.00 dollars at south view animal hospital and got no answer and spent $130.00 at south saint paul vet hospital and got an answer....Do the math. I have to say this isn't the first time south view animal hospital has given me the run a round. I spent close to $1000.00 dollars on my other dog and they never found what was causing her back problems...she eventually got better on her own. I am just giving my experience at south view animal hospital in hopes others can learn from my experience. To say the least I will be bringing my pets to another vet.
