Hi this is Robin Bautista , I brought my pregnant dog in because she was acting different she still had 23 days to go. They did an exam they made me wait 2hr for results. They told me she might have leptospirosis and she needed to be cared for for 4 days to save her life . The cost was 4000.00 and I had to pay them 3000.00 in order to keep her there. I was unable to come up with the money . So Dr lang said she could test her for leptospirosis and hydrate her as she may not make it over night . I was able borrow from a friend.1650.00 for the day. A doctor called me at night and told me 2 puppys were still alive and she had little improvement and another day would flush her and the cost for every thing would be 1800.00. I agreed. They called me later on that night and told me the total cost when I pick her up 2700.00. When I Picked my dog up they told me to wear rubber gloves keep her away from the other dogs .that if she goes into labor she would die and she would have to have a cesarean section and would die. My problem was that they never tested for leotospirosis and I had her mother give birth to 4 pup and 2 other dogs live with us . so it is an infectious disease of animals and humans. When I got her home she gave birth to 3 still born pups ,and an hour later was eating drinking and playing in the snow. This place wanted her to miscarry and bill me 7000.00 to 10000.00 for a simple miscarry. it was a horrible experience and I was unable to get any information or no one called as a follow up .I also tried 11 times to contact a doctor but no one contacted me. I feel that this place is only interested in taking your money, and this is a place where the first year veterinarians are learning on our pets and they are charging specialists pricing .Along with a staff which encourages people to ask borrow from friends relatives or credit. I had a staff member ask me if i loved my pet? Please do not take your sick pet here they only care about emptying your bank account.
