Two years ago we took our Springer to Glen Lake Animal Hospital as she was not feeling well. I explained to the female doctor that she had a history of bladder and urinary tract infections.\r
\r
The doctor did not think the dog's illness was related to the bladder and said they needed to run a number of blood tests. They kept our dog for the afternoon and I received a call. They had run the tests and the last test they performed was urine and she had a raging bladder infection. Of course, we were charged for all of the tests - almost $600.00\r
\r
If the Dr. would have listened to her history and looked at her chart I would not have been out $600.00. A simple urine test and office visit would have taken care of it. It seemed the tests were run to generate money. Owners are with their animals 24 hours and know their behaviors, what has worked in the past, etc. - the doctors need to listen and not just run tests.\r
\r
We never returned and will never refer them to others.
