Oh. Good. Grief!!!!Sorry in advance for the novel.
We’ve gone to this vet for over 2 decades. She was a tiny hole in the wall when we moved here. Over the years she has moved in to a big practice with a lot of transient vets that work under her. Some are good & some are not, but they are all temporary which makes me think there are problems in house. I started to dislike the owner years ago & I don’t like being treated by a new vet every time she replaces them.
We’ve watched her compassion move from animals to money. Over the years she & her temporary employees have been burning our bridge one match at a time. There are too many things to list & all forgivable on their own, but at some point it started to become too much.
My breaking point came at the end of 2019 when one of her vets was giving Roo meds that I believed were giving him seizures. She had no tolerance for me & no compassion for the dog. On top of $600+ in tests that we had just done she said she thought Roo had a brain tumor & wanted to run an additional $600 Cronins test. I told her that I would not be putting a senior dog thru surgery, chemo & radiation. That pissed her off. When I reminded her that she said she could prescribe seizure medication for him she said that now she wouldn’t if I didn’t do the Cronins tests.
I called her again about the seizure meds roughly a month later when Roo had 9 seizures in a 12hr period. She told the receptionist to tell me she was busy & to tell me to go to the ER. I asked if she could please call me later that day & she never did. Never. Who does that?
A couple weeks later I called to file a complaint with the head vet. The receptionist implied that she was sorry for my loss. They actually assumed the dog was dead, but never bothered to check.
This is the same vet (the owner) that was furious that I was taking my dogs to an actual Doggy Orthodontist for extractions instead of having her do it. After throwing a fit, she actually tried to charge me triple the price I was quoted for blood work when she found out.
There is no way I’m ever bring another animal back there. The place we are going to tomorrow is a further drive, but they have really great reviews, so fingers crossed.
What a nightmare!
That is way too much stress.
If this was my ‘spectrum’ dog Meatball, he’d just drop dead.
