Zero for 3; fatal misdiagnoses 9/14/2008

Took my beloved to this vet for 10 years. They failed to properly diagnose cancer, called it allergies and pinched nerve. This went on for over one year. Symptoms were classic hemangiosarcoma that should have sent signals and could have been readily diagnosed with ultrasound, but this was not suggested and even discouraged. Perhaps it is because they don't offer it. Finally, I took her to UC Davis, where she had an ultrasound and was diagnosed that same day. She had surgery the next day, but I got the grim news that it is fatal. For whatever reason, my dog's life has been truncated needlessly. Same thing happened to two friend's dogs there. Both of them died. One friend did not know what happened to her dog until mine got diagnosed (one year after her dog's death). This is too common of a situation for this to be missed three times by this vet. Davis recommends an annual check up with an ultrasound to catch this disease early. I am grieving over what I could have done but did not. Cons: My dog is dying more
