If she had even said "it COULD be a laceration, and we COULD test for that" then I would have said YES, PLEASE DO - it's her DAMN EYES we're talking about here! I understand that mistakes are made (even our doctor's make them) but when I got home and did some research EVERY site I found said it was common practice when presented with Ruthie's symptoms to flush the eye, stain the eye to check for lacerations, etc. When all is said and done, I will be writing a letter to this clinic to inform them of this 'missed' diagnosis. Just because they are an ER vet, they should still take the same time, care and consideration with each and every pet - How else can they justify such outrageous fees just to step into an examination room ($115)???  |
Exactly! I completely agree with you! And I'm mad for you

.Your poor baby. I'm sorry someone's mistake is affecting her
and you. Big hugs all around!

Get better baby Ruthie, your way to cute to be sick.
