Will never use this vet again..We have been using Shivley since 2008 and have ran into several problems. The first being that one of our Siberian Husky's popped a tendon in her toe and they said it would heal on it's own in a few weeks, here's your bill have a nice day...The tendon didn't heal and Dr. Brittany had the courage to tell us it was our fault it didn't heal....In 2011 we took Shadow in because I found a lump on her right side, vet tech felt it and said fatty tumor and took her in the back...When Shadow was returned we where again told fatty tumor nothing to worry about. Last year for their annually shots I again voiced my concern over the tumor (which had grown) again told fatty tumor nothing to worry about...This year again for their annually again voiced my concern about the lump, which had grown even larger..Was told fatty tumor. At some time in the future it may need to be removed if it starts to impair movement\r

So after forcing the issue they agree to surgery and send it to UK for biopsy...Took shadow in last week for stitch and drain tube removal...Was informed that she had a maglient peripheral nerve sheath tumor and that they had to take so much of the surrounding muscle out, that another operation is impossible...I was also told that ""If we would have had early detection things wouldn't be this bad""...Excuse me I told you two years ago about the lump..In some ways it's a good thing it's this type of cancer ""slow growing and usually doesn't Metastasis...\r
\r
They did no type of screening over the last two years and try to lay the blame on me......Plus shadow refuse to walk back with the vet tech this time, which lead me to think she was rough handled during her stay, because the only other person I know she won't go around did the same thing... Ask for all of our pets (three husky's)vet records to be sent to us as we will seek out a new vet..today received only Shadows and they are incomplete, no lab report
