Wow.....My usual vet had already looked at my puppy the day before I went here and they sent me home and said it was probably worms or parvo. Now.......I'm not an expert but I knew she didn't have parvo and worms just didn't fit for me either and I told my regular vet this but she was still insistant it was one of them so they pumped her full of fluid and antibiotics and a nice chunk of change from my pocket. I got no medication and told to go home and results from the ""tests"" will be in tomorrow. Well.........tomorrow came and my lil puppy was almost DEAD!!!!! She was cold, couldn't move and I could barly see her breathing in and out.I called my vet again, who doesn't want to come in til 2, and got referred to Arrowhead animal hospital. My regular vet said they would fax over her file to Arrowhead. We got to arrowhead and they had no fax but luckily I called to give em a heads up. They took my puppy in the back and 20min later the doctor ask's us into the room.I thought she was dead. He told me she is hypoglycemic and it is extremly common in her breed (chihuahua) so thats the first test he did and sure enough here comes my Princess in the room ears perked up tail waggen and almost back to normal. I cried tears of joy. All she needed was a lil sugar. The unsettleing part is that my ""usual"" vet should have known what tests to do.They almost took her life by doing round about test that could have waited while more important breed specific testing was done.I got treatment, advice, rx and a new vet for less than 1/2 of my other vet. Great customer service too! Princess is back and better than ever.
