I usually dont complain any further than what I have already said at the establishment itself but this time I feel compelled. I brought my bichon to island rescue because as we all know times are tough and money is an issue. the people at the front desk were very nice and I am sure this is a great place for shots, spay,neutuer, and things of that nature but as far as diagnosing your animal and being helpful and informative I was completely disatisfied I will be fair and say it might have just been the one doctor that I saw but the man almost klled my dog. He was clueless to the point I had to ask if he was really a liscensed vet!!!!! He had no clue how to read an x-ray he had the personality of astro turf and I informed him more of my dogs situation than he knew even after examining her. Needless to say he deduced that she had a bladder infection (which would mean blod in the urine) my dog was bleeding profusely out of her v-gina. Due to the fact that I had a friend of mine with me who is a vet assistant we asked what about this and what about that the so called vets answer was duhh maybe I really dont know. so after spending $255.00 I left there being told wait 2 days for blod work and in the mean time we will treat her for a bladder infection . I knew this was the wrong diagnosis.The next morning my dog was near death. Brought her to another vet had I not brought her she would have died within hours she was diagnosd with immune mediated thrombocytopenia. She is now in critical condition at a wonderful vet who when I brought the x-rays from island rescue and asked him what is that his answer was not I DONT KNOW his answer was they are tumors. Waiting 2 days for blodwork they had back in their office THE NEXT MORNING !!!!! would have klled my dog. This so called vet needs to get off the doggie qualudes and get back to school !!!!!!!!! He should be ashamed of himself and stick to giving shots at petco! island rescue set you standards higher please!!!
Pros: people were nice
Cons: doctor horendous
