On November 18, 2011, my family's 11 year old Golden Retriever went to Makai Animal Clinic. We had been taking are 6 dogs to Makai for 6+years. Five months later, my dog had to be put down. My dog died because Dr. Z did not look at my dog's Records and gave him a drug (Rimadyl) that tests showed he could not tolerate. The side effects (the drug has many side effects including Death) caused a red, itchy ""hotspot"" on the top of my dog's head. The lesion became infected and spread down his face and other lesions appeared on his legs, arms and trunk. Despite us asking Dr. Z (3 times) to take a culture test, he refused but instead kept prescribing different antibiotics. When tests were taken, it was too late. My dog's body has been taken over by 2 potentially deadly, transmittable (between human and animal) bacterial infections, MRSA and Strep. They have refused to take any responsibility but they were more than willing to take over $3,000 from us.
