I used to be happy to have an emergency vet nearby....until I had an actual emergency. \r

I walked into their clinic yesterday morning expecting help, not to be charged $90 for absolutely nothing.\r

I am pregnant and in early labor when my kitty started throwing up blood. I immediately took him to IVEC. All they did was take his temperature and quote me an outrageous amount for x-rays and blood work. I immediately started crying. There was no way I could pay them that. So instead of offering me Care Credit or some kind of payment plan....they sent me on my way.\r

I went to Georgetown Vet Hospital where the very caring vet did x-rays before asking any financial questions. They found that my boy's intestines were wrapped around each other from a string he ate. He is having surgery this morning. \r
