Horrible Vet!We took our schnauzers to Mission Village after adopting fr/the NE Humane Soc in Dec 05. Our lil Bruiser started having accidents(he was house broken),hot spots/itchy spots,increased water consumption,lethargic,seizures,eratic appetite,panting&signs of discomfort.I asked many X's if he had Cushings or Diabetes.Was told no each x. After months of testing&explaining his symptoms between getting juggled between the 2vets,Soulliere sd Bruiser had an impacted anal gland that would have to be operated on&taken out. She told us she needed another Vet to help her.1st Red Flag! Bruiser had no bad smell coming fr/his tush area. After surgery,she would not let me take him home.2nd Red flag! She was adament I leave him there overnite,to the point she was rude&made me mad. Reluctantly we left our lil guy there who stayed all by himself w/no one to attend to him. My instincts told me something was wrong. We went to pick him up the next morning (it was a sat/06/22/08)&they had him in a crate which he had peed in.(no one took him to go potty?)Including the surgical area,he was covered in urine & he smelled awful. We were told not to bathe him until the stitches healed. The following Sat morning at 2am we rushed to the Emergency Vet clinic as Bruiser was panting,trying to find a place to go hide&showing terrible signs of discomfort.The Dr/Vet at Emergency Vet clinic sd there was no reason for Bruisers anal gland to have benn taken out.And couldnt believe Bruiser hadn't been clearly diagnosed. At this time he was suffering fr/acute pancreatitus. We were told whoever reviewed his blood work just days earlier wouldve known how to treat him b/c his numbers were so out of range&couldnt change w/in this time. We lost Bruiser that nite b/c of Suulliere's incompetance.We were urged by the ER Dr.to change vets immediately.That morning we went to Mission Village to get med recds&no condolences offered,wouldnt even look at us.Never even a call.Whats that tell you? Medical records/blood tests dont lie--incompatent vets do.
