I rushed my dog to Atlantic Coast at 2 am. She had been getting sick every 10 minutes. They took her right away. I am glad that these types of emergency vets are available to us. The person who looked at her turned out not to be a vet. I knew this when his first action was to pick her up by her hind legs as if he were checking for hip dysplasia.... and did not identify himself as a vet, even after I called him Dr. I realized he was not the vet on staff. I used to work for a vet and can tell the vets from the vet techs. They of course did xrays, which was fine and diagnosed her with pancreatitis... turned out to be stomach upset. They wanted to keep her overnight which I declined. So 2 hrs and $500 later I left with my dog. I went to my regular vet that am and he concluded it was "something she ate".... next time let me know you are not the vet on staff...
