I just wanted to tell you that I sent my email today. I shared my story in my email and gave them a piece of my mind!

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

My heart breaks for you. you can tell how much you love your baby.
I pray that you get her back but I do have to say be careful putting stuff out there like this is not a good thing. yes people should know but please make sure you can back up your facts so they dont turn around and try and sue you. you have enough on your plate as it is. Its so sad they the Dr could not call you and let you know how Ava is. I agree people here can all write them letters but I would not let anyone call their place of work, they are busy working and caring for animals/ pets and those calls from other members will not make it better for you it will only piss them off and they will never talk to you.you should be the only one calling them.

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.

I agree with this and as much as I want her to have her baby back she does not need false hope but needs are support

I also send them a quick email, telling them to do right with you and telling them WHY I would NEVER, NEVER recomend or use a banfield clinic again, MAYBE, just MAYBE they will read it.. without hitting the delete button, I don't think those people want to hear the negative of their business..
best of luck..

thanks all again for all your support.

Have you gone back to AERA and spoken with them in person? Perhaps if you can explain why and how this all came about they will be able to help you. I've dealt with them many times and they are a caring group of Veterinarians.

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.

nobody is forcing you to offer support or advice; you can simply get off the thread.
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

I'm not interferring with your posts. I have offered condolences and very sympathetic.

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.

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.

Look, I'm sorry but if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. You don't know the whole story and were not there to witness any of this first hand.

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.

who are you to tell me to move on; i will move on when i am good and ready; Ava was everything to me and she was my baby and it's not fair to her if i give up easily and move on.
you have no right telling me what to do.
please for the last time, i don't care for your opinion; keep it to yourself.
compassion and love is what makes us human; i did or said nothing to offend you; you have been attacking me for no reason; so please i ask you nicely to stop.

A sad situation but I have to wonder if it's even been confirmed the dog is still at the ER vets?

Since no information or return phone calls have been given...why not simply drive to the office?

[ally173]

the dog is not at the ER hospital any longer; however someone from the hospital is fostering her. i did call but they told me to call back or come when dr norton is there.
