TOOK 1YR OLD BOXER TO EMERGENCY CLINIC ON SUN. HE HAD NOT ATE FOR 2 DAYS, DEHYDRATED, & LOSING WT. RAPIDLY. DR. TOOK URINE, RUN TEST & XRAYS. THEY ASSURED US THAT IT WAS A STOMACH BLOCKAGE & HE NEEDED SURGERY IMMEDIATELY OR HE WOULD DIE. AFTER SURGERY, THEY CALLED & TOLD US THAT IT WASN'T A STOMACH BLOCKAGE, THAT IT WAS HIS SPLEEN THAT HAD TWISTED. THEY SAID THEY STRAIGHTEN HIS SPLEEN & NOTHING IN STOMACH, NO REASON TO OPEN IT. SAID GETTING BETTER CAN COME HOME NEXT AM. WHEN WE PICKED HIM UP IN THE EARLY AM WE TOLD DR WE WERE TAKING HIM FOR REGULAR VET TO EXAMINE AFTER THIS MAJOR SURGERY. THEY INSISTED ON US TAKING THERE MEDICATION TO OUR VET EVEN AFTER I TOLD THEM OUR VET WOULD GIVE HIM THE MEDICATION HE NEEDS. AFTER BRINGING HIM HOME WAITING ON OUR VET TO OPEN IT WAS OBVIOUS HE HAD NOT SLEPT, ATE, & STILL IN SEVERE PAIN TO THE POINT HE COULD NOT SIT OR LAY DOWN. HE WAS TRYING TO SLEEP STANDING SINCE HE COULDN'T LIE DOWN FOR THE PAIN. TOOK TO REGULAR VET. AND SERIOUS QUESTIONS AROUSE SUCH AS: IF SPLEEN WAS TWISTED AND IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WHY WAS IT NOT REMOVED? WHY WAS STOMACH NOT EXPLORED SINCE IT SHOWED AN IMPACTION.. ON BOTH SIDES OF THE INCISION IS LARGE KNOTS THAT WAS VERY DISTURBING TO OUR PHYSICIAN. NOW OUR PET IS HAVING TO GO THROUGH ADDITIONAL SURGERY TO REPAIR THE 1ST SURGERY THAT MADE THE PROBLEM WORST SINCE HE COULDN'T EVEN SIT, LAY DOWN, STILL NOT EATING OR DRINKING, OR SLEEPING AND GUESS WHAT ELSE ANOTHER VET BILL.
