Our family is sad to share that this past week our Riley boy passed away due to an undiagnosed condition missed by Dr. Thomas. We had visited with this Doctor for almost 10 years and he never wanted to run tests even after I insisted. I was always sent away with the usual, Cortisone shot for his allergies.
Every time I brought up certain issues such as itchy skin, loss of hair and eye problems Dr. Thomas would say it was just allergies and would send us off with our regular cortisone shot and enalapril for his heart murmur. I always trusted Dr. Thomas and his judgment and did what he had told us to do.

This past weekend, I noticed Riley had stopped eating and I knew there was something Very Wrong.
The next day, I rushed him to Dr. Thomas
office Monday morning at 8am, but they were closed even though their website indicated they were open at 8am. I then took matters into my own hands and took him to another Veterinarian.
Upon arrival, Dr. Singh ran a simple blood test and stated Riley had Liver issues and that he only had a few hours to live. This was a shock and not what I wanted to hear. All along I thought I had been doing everything possible for our Riley boy, but instead he was slowly dying of liver disease.
Sadly, he passed away the following morning leaving my family devastated.

After doing some research, I came to find out that liver issues can often be treated and managed if caught early. If only Dr. Thomas had taken the time to give Riley the proper care he might still be alive. I miss my Riley so much and would hate for this to happen to another innocent animal. Please think twice about taking or bringing back your pets to Dr. Thomas.
I know I will not be returning to him once I m ready to welcome another pet into our loving home.
