     4/16/12   1     3     5     1   I had 6 year old male Australian Shepperd. ~85 lbs, muscular & very healthy. In bizarre accident, he suffered trauma to his hip & chest. Dog displayed minor hip pain & 2 scrapes. Otherwise *fully* mobile, alert & affectionate. Dog then let out soft cough w/tiny gurgle sound at end. I knew his lungs where slowly filling w/blood. I rushed him to closest clinic. Hospital staff came to car & grabbed at him. Frightened, dog jumped to & from front & back seats. With my assurance, they put him on gurney w/o resistance. Staff strapped him down w/alarming force & tightness. I was refused entry to OR. Slimy-sounding vet refused to listen to my pleas for immediately dealing w/dog's chest trauma. gave me lengthy, patronizing & dishonest rationale for taking x-rays, running many tests & doing invasive body probes...to my dogs stomach. I protested & pleaded otherwise. I also advised not to give dog anesthesia. Vet sneered at me, tried to intimidate me & ignored me. 10 minutes later my dog was dead. RID: 33552
Click to report rating    4/11/10   1     4     4     1   I brought my dog there because she was limping.The vet checked her leg out and couldn't find anything.I finally asked if it could be her toe,which he checked and found that it was swollen.Took xrays then suggested it could be cancer and should have an expensive biopsy. When I suggested he put her on antibiotics for 7 days and then see how she was he refused and pressured us and scared us into having an expensive biopsy done. Eleven hundred dollars later and a trip to my regular vet, 7 days of antibiotics she is fine. They are money hungry and prey on you at your weakest moment. RID: 17479
