I want to preface this by saying that the staff here are very friendly and accommodating. However, from both of my interactions they intentionally make the visit as expensive as possible. I made the appt for my dogs ear knowing there was an infection. After two visits back to back and 8 total hours my dog had been sedated twice without any treatment performed except a single cytology swab. I was told they didn’t want to give him ptsd and wanted it as stress free as possible. However him being in pain and not eating/drinking is more stressful in my opinion so I would’ve appreciated them doing what needed to be done to fix his ongoing issue. I informed them I wanted him to get a subq fluid bolus because he hasn’t drank in almost 48 hours, that wasn’t done. The vet said she thought it was highly unlikely he wouldn’t drink again tonight. As if I don’t know my dog or had witnessed him the day prior not eating or drinking. I received 2 scripts that the vet said may or may not help unless I paid another $140 for a culture and they wanted to try again in a week or two. So sedation for the 3rd time. These bills are ranging from 120-350 each visit. I appreciate the sentiment of not wanting to stress an animal but being from a medical background myself, I’m not coming to the vet for therapy on ptsd, I’m coming for treatment.
