TOOK MY NEW 1.5 POUND POM TO THIS HOSPITAL BECAUSE HE BEGAN SNEEZING MUCUS AND CLEAR FLUID. I WAS FREAKED OUT BECAUSE HE WAS SO SMALL AND DIDNT WANT TO WAIT TIL MORNING TO TAKE HIM TO MY INTENDED VET. WELL,, THE ONLY GOOD PARTS ARE THAT THERE WAS NO WAIT AND THE VET TECH WAS NICE. THE DR (DR. INNOCENT) CAME INTO THE EXAM ROOM AND ASKED WHAT WAS GOING ON. I TOLD HIM. FIRST OFF HE HANDLED MY SMALL DELICATE PUPPY WITH ONE HAND- CARRYING HIM AROUND AS IF HE WERE A BRICK. HE DIDNT HANDLE HIM WITH TWO HANDS AS MOST VETS WOULD DO. SECOND, THERE WAS A CHILD (LITTLE INDIAN GIRL) IN THE EXAM ROOM WITH HIM TRYING TO PLAY WITH MY SICK PUPPY. I HAD TO PULL MY PUP AWAY FROM HER. HE LISTENED TO MY PUPS' HEARTBEAT AND LUNGS AND THEN GAVE HIM A SHOT AND SAID THAT HE HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO A SPRAY. IN THE BEGINNING I ACCEPETED THAT. BUT ONCE I GOT HOME MY PUPPY STARTING PASSING TAPEWORMS IN HIS FECES AND I REALIZED THAT THE DOCTOR HAD DONE NO MICROSCOPIC WORK. NO FECAL SAMPLE. NOT EVEN A MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF MY PUPPY'S MUCUS THAT WAS AROUND HIS NOSE AND MOUTH. HE ONLY LISTENED TO HIS HEART AND LUNGS AND BASED OFF OF WHAT I HAD TOLD HIM GAVE HIM A SHOT. I PAID $150 FOR AN INCOMPLETE EMERGENCY VISIT AND INACCURATE DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE BEEN TO OTHER VETS BEFORE AND ALL OF THEM HAVE TAKEN STOOL AND/OR EAR SAMPLES. I TOOK HIM TO THE INTENDED VET THE NEXT DAY AND SHE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD A SLIGHT COLD AND TAPEWORMS THAT WERE BOTH EASILY CLEARED WITH ANTIBIOTICS- THE TOTAL VISIT INCLUDING MEDS WAS $75. IN ADDITION, BEFORE I WALKED OUT THE DOOR DR. INNOCENT GAVE ME ALL OF HIS PARAPHERNALIA IN HOPES THAT I MIGHT PROMOTE HIM TO MY FRIENDS. LITERALLY! HE LOADED ME DOWN WITH CARDS, MAGNETS, AND FLYERS AND TOLD ME TO PASS THEM OUT FOR HIM! NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL! IT IS NOT UP TO YOUR CUSTOMERS TO SELL YOUR BUSINESS..... IT IS SOOOOOOOO VICE VERSA. I WILL NEVER GO BACK.
Pros: 24HRS
Cons: THE PROFESSIONALISM AND THE COMPASSION
