I am deeply saddened and disheartened from my experience with this hospital. I cannot comment on the actual vets as the receptionist and manager refused to let speak to them. I found an animal on the side of the road and brought him in. The receptionist recommended I take him to Raleigh, which I planned to do until he started crashing. The only thing they would do was euthanize him, which I agreed may be appropriate though I wanted to ask the vet if that was the right decision. Apparently, the vet and nurse manager was too busy to pull themselves away from their computers (there was only one other family there) and he died while I was fighting to talk to them. Upon checking into their claims of not being allowed to see wild animals, I found multiple pictures of their vets examining owls, bobcats, etc.

Their bottom line seems to be profit, not the animals' well-being. Unfortunately, they are the only after hours hospital in Durham (I've checked) so there's not really any alternative. That being said, I'll drive to Raleigh from now on.
