My name is Jennifer Hernandez I brought a Yorkie to your facility ""City of Angels for Animals"", by the name of ?Sprinkles?. I'm extremely disappointed with the care she received in your facility. I paid $3,700 for two days of ICU treatment and in return you gave me a dying dog. Yes, she had a sodium level that was 131 and yes, it decreased to 128 but it continued at 128 which meant to me that it's her norm. Her difficulty breathing became worse as the day progressed but it didn?t seem to be a issue to you or your staff. She had labor breathing the whole time she was at your facility. Not once did you give her medication to help her breath easier or better nor did you try to make her feel comfortable. You were too busy trying to figure out what was wrong with the sodium levels. I'm a nurse and in my line of duty, ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) are my first reaction to anyone in my care. But in your facility it?s obviously the last thing on your mind. Sprinkles had all exams done on her and they came back negative. Except for the labor breathing which, again, was noticeable on her. She went to your facility with clear lungs and in two days, she was released to me with difficult breathing and her lungs were filled with fluids and an enlarged heart. I voiced my concern time and time again regarding her breathing and pain medication but your staff didn't think it was an issue. I know your body couldn?t breathe that way for a long period of time without giving up. In return you have caused my dog to drown in her fluids and allowed her to die with pain... I not only lost my best friend but I lost my Baby... I'm very disgusted in the treatment I received for Sprinkles. May she rest in peace.
