Where do I start. My dog had displasia since 2/08. Dr Jackson recommended Rimadyl for the pain. She took all the lab work necessary to make sure my dog was healthy enough to withstand the medicine. He was Dr Jackson told me to give the dog the Rimadyl when needed. It wasn't working so Dr. Rothstein told me to give it 2 times a day every single day. That's what did it. In May my dog started to have diarreha and throwing up.. No tests had been done to monitor his liver for damage due to the Rimadyl. He had surgery in August and again no lab tests were done to see if he would withstand the surgery. He got very sick shortly after the surgery, I brought him back several times. They did not know what it was. In one week in September I had the dog to the vet 5 times. The bill was astronomical with all the meds they tried. I have to say that Dr. Jacksn tried but had no idea what was wrong. My dog died on 9/21/08 in my arms from a heart attack. The truth is I requested all his records and noticed that the lab work that was done on 9/18 showed that his liver had been destroyed. The bottom line. They should have monitored him. I adopted another pet and will not be taking him to this vet.
Pros: convienient.
Cons: Do not do follow up work after prescribing medication
