VERY rude and cold staff. The doctor was going to admit my cat overnight because she was dehydrated and throwing up for 3 days repeatedly, but once they found I couldn't pay them with anything but a post dated check for the same week because I got paid on Friday (it was a Monday night) they actually had the nerve to make me call my family and friends for 1/3 of the bill up front. I had been unemployeed for 6 weeks and just started a new job and don't get paid until Friday. Then after a friend agreed to pay the money to get her admitted, they decided that they would not keep her overnight and they turned us away with nothing but a script for amoxicillan. Next day, my cat went into ketosis and was unresponsive and almost died. Oh, and now I owe my friend $170 for NOTHING. These people do not care about animals at all. They care about money and that's it. And since the office visit should have been $85 and they weren't going to admit her overnight, where in the heck did they find it necessary to charge $170????????????????? CROOKS!!\r

Thank goodness I went somewhere else. They actually did an examination and found that she had a piece of dental floss or string under her tongue which probably led all the way down her digestive track. They are keeping her overnight and doing a barium xray to find out if it will be able to pass or if surgery will be involved. She didn't need an antibiotic in the first place, first and foremost she needed people who cared and an IV full of fluid and medication to stop the stomach spasms. The people at the Animal Emergency Clinic are rude and don't know wtf they are doing and just want money. I was so insulted by their behavior and phrases like ""this is not a charity"". I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT TO BE FREE, I ASKED IF I COULD POST DATE A CHECK FOR FRIDAY. I DON'T THINK THE CAT WILL LIVE UNTIL I GET PAID AND SHE NEEDS IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY HELP.....DUH! They didn't care. Oh and besides a wrong diagnosis, they double charged my friend's debit card which caused her bank to overdraft and checks to bounce with multiple fees. THEY HAD BETTER PAY HER FOR THIS. CROOKS! They didn't want to help me or my furbaby. I will never go there again. I wouldn't send my worst enemy there to treat their pets in an emergency.
