I took my dog to PAPT with a swollen ear. They suggested a very expensive surgery. I asked if there were any other options and was told there was a way to treat the problem but that it only had a 50% chance of success. Because of circumstances, and the fact that I just got the feeling that I was being pushed a little too hard for the surgery, I decided to the second option. The "Vet" took my dog and said he would be back in about 5 minutes. I heard some yelping and 5 minutes later he was back. They had put a catheter in her ear and wrapped her head with some gauze. I knew there was touble when the gauze started coming unwrapped while the "Vet" was explaining that I was to leave it on for 10 days. They gave me a cone collar that came off in the parking lot. I managed to replace it. When I got home the gauze was seriously coming unwrapped and a couple of head shakes later the catheter has come completly out of my dogs ear. I called to see what I could do and they explained I could try to reinsert it myself. Needless to say I found a better vet the next day. At best these people are completly incompetent. At worst they purposely sabotaged my dogs treatment in order to force me into a ridiculously expensive surgury. Under no circumstances should anybody ever bring their pet to these unscrupulous idiots.
