i tried telling that if it wasn't for the vet force feeding my dog she wouldnt be in the hospital; she said the vet didn't force feed the dog ; she "syringe fed her";
isn't that the same i said?
i brought my dog in because she didnt' want to eat or drink; so she obviously force fed her
anyhow she said they won't offer me anything; to get my dog back or any money back
however they want me to take the posts off because she's offended by me disclosing their information; and that she's getting emails from people who don't know the real story; (i think i know the story since it happened to me)
i think i know my rights; and this is called freedom of speech; i am not telling lies; just facts as they happened
she can call it my opinion; but i know my dog for 2 years and that day she didnt want to eat or drink
anyhow; i tried my hardest to fight for Ava with these people
maybe if they or the EC get enough letters something can be done
again i am deeply grateful for all your support
and please spread the word to AVOID BANFIELD AT ALL COSTS

However in this case, I can totally understand that they will not respond to her phone calls. There are privacy laws when it comes to these things and these people could get into trouble. They have given their answer.

yes these people can get in big trouble and lose their jobs giving out information.
You just have to console yourself that you did what you thought was best at the time and that it is now out of your control.

It's not easy, but many of us have been through it.

But I fear that all of this is doing more harm than good for all involved.

I feel there is more to the story than what is being told.

i told the story as it happened and i am not sure what you are getting at.
i understand if you don't want to offer kind words but you don't have to keep posting negative threads or interferring in my posts.
you don't see me interfering with your posts

But now it seems you have gone from sad and needing support to vindictive and your actions are encouraged by a group of vigilanties.., It's no longer about the dog, it's about getting even.

You did what had to be done at the time because you could not afford the bills. That was understandable. Has your financial situation changed? If so then take a check and go to them and talk to them. If not then let it go and move on.

At this point you have, no doubt, made them angry and they are not going to talk to you.

It is sad they they would not even give you the courtesy of telling you how she is doing, but this is not helping.

You are on a futile crusade to get even with them for something that you yourself did.

It's a sad situation but it is not their fault. Sometimes there is no one to blame. Things happen for a reason and we are learn and grow from it.

The OP has already asked you to stop commenting on here so why not just leave it at that?

Every situation is different, I know you offered a story about having your dog put down because you chose not to have a surgery preformed, but that is very different from this woman giving up her dog to do everything possible to save its life. She made rash, hasty decisions to keep her dog alive, she gave up rights to the dog, she did not give up on her. Now she wants to have her back and there is always hope, unless the dog dies she can try forever to get her baby back. I know I would. Maybe finances are not an issue anymore, whatever the case this womans heart is hurting and she wants to know her baby is OK. I believe she deserves to know.

No where do I see where the OP was vindictive....and I do blame Banfield because they are a $$$ hungry organization that really does not care for the dogs/cats. I have seen it time and time again. These vets will over vaccinate give wrong medical advise and do everything to just make $$$. It is also not right for any vet to say someone is coddling their dog and this is WRONG!!!! and not professional. This pet owner knew something was wrong and tried to do the right things and the vet did not listen. It is the vets responsibility (if they care) to listen and try to figure out what is wrong with a dog..in this case they did not.

I have not said anything unkind to her. I still feel very bad for her, but she made the decision to give it up. If she now has the money then go down there with a check.

But what she is asking people here to do is not the way to do it. Go there in person and ask to see the vet. Make and appointment if you have to. Bad mouthing them on the internet is not the right way to do it.

I believe she deserves to know too, but this is not the way to go about it.
I have compassion for her but there is a right way and awrong way to do something.

I'm happy to see she is finally getting a level head about it and making an appointment to meet with the vet. Hopefully he can make some arrangements to get the dog back. and that she does not find herself back in the same position in the future.

I am hurting reading this thread and i want to make sure that myself, family and friends never support there acts. Are all of there clinics just called banfield? i want to be SURE i never take my baby to one of these clinics when she comes home.... And again im very sorry your going through this.

i think you are confusing banfield with the ER hospital
there are 2 different practices.
and as i said i didnt give her up just to give her up; it was thanksgiving and she needed immediate medical help; so i had to do what's best for her.
i don't understand why you want to force your opinion on me or others; you made your point; once more this is not your post; and this post was intendend for kind advice and support; if you have nothing nice to say but judge then please stop.
again i think you are confusing the story and just making false judgment.

i will not respond to your posts anymore; as you are turning this into an argument or some kind of debate; and this is not what i intended.

But asking people to harrass the Banfield clinic is not right. There are always 2 sides to a story, too bad we are only hearing one side of it.

I do not believe in the over vaccinating either, but when I posted on another thread that I felt vets did this for the money I was tarred and feathered for it.

Todays vets are just like todays medical Dr.s. It's all about the money and everyone has to be involved in their own health care. If she felt the vet was doing wrong she should have taken her dog and left to get a second opinion.

What she is doing on here is none other than vengence, for something that she did and is now regretting.

Please show me what thread where you were tarred and feathered...I would like to read this and possibly comment.

Stop with the word vengence...you have given your opinion ..drop it as I tell my dogs.
