So its not just CA then!! I swear I knew more then they did!!! They almost killed my new puppy!!!! Just from a routine checkup and some shots!!
I took Jenny to the vet to get her "check up" before our flight and some routine shots. Well gave her a rabies shot (im sure it was waaay more then she needed!!!) and said to come back if she vomits. WELL SHE VOMITED right infront of the vet!!! Right there! KNow what she said? "oh its ok its just stress" . Stupid me dissmised it. For he next 3 days my poor baby had diarhea and vomited 4-6 time a day. I brought her in after I knew this was going nowhere good. The vet looked at her, yes looked at her, after i explained everything.. She gave my some overpriced GI meds and sent me home.. I came back the next morning SO MAD. She kept getting worse. SO now they had to hospitalize her! and they brought me a bill that half she did not need! Like wtf did she need an xray for???? And 24hrs there! WHY? ( I force fed her and made her drink water she was not hypoglycemic. ) So I made them fix the bill, and it went from $800 to $500. Yes they still ripped me off on the meds SHE did not need btw.. And they wrote a bunch of IVs they did which im sure they did one or two of the 4 they wrote.. Um and guess what? the lab sample we sent in, NEVER came back.. NOPE. So I had to get the care credit because I dont have 500$$$!!! Im still paying it off 5 months later..Im not going back there. I called my breeder and she was so disgusted. She told me next time to come to her and she will take care of any stomach issues. We took Jenny to the vet in Ukraine and the vet there was just appalled at Jennys condition. She simply gave us a probiotic for her and explained to us how to keep her on a strict diet for a few weeks. WORKED like magic!!! Jenny hasn't had one issue since August. Did I mention im not going back to the emergency vet here?? Sorry I took over yur post!! I wonder if there are any ppl who are satisfied with the emergency vets?
