MISDIAGNOSED MY DOG!!! I took my dog in for just a boarding. We were to be gone for 5 days. They have a piece of paper you need to sign that allows the staff to administer and provide any care needed in case of an emergency. It also states that they need to contact the owner about emergency care when provided. I came to pick my dog up and found out they had been treating him for diabetes! He didn't have diabetes when I dropped him off!! Where was my call??? They said he was showing signs for diabetes, so the treatment was just a precaution. I NEVER received a phone call before treatment was given. This happened 3 days prior to me picking him up. My dog was perfectly fine and energetic as crazy at time of boarding. When I came to pick him up, after hearing the news about the treatment, they offered to test him for diabetes. I agreed, and the test came back NEGATIVE! I brought him home. After about a week, he started showing some weird signs. Lethargy, drinking lots of water, major swelling and sensitivity in the abdomen. My mistake, I took him back to the WRONG hospital. I should have learned my lesson. Anyways, the doc checked him out. Told me it was all normal after being boarded. WRONG! Iv'e boarded my dog many times and he's never acted like this! I ordered some tests to see what was going on. All of a sudden, he had Cushings Disease!! We went from Diabetes to Cushing's Disease? Please. So not only did they give my dog treatment for the Diabetes he never had, there is nothing they can do for Cushing's Disease, because its "just something that happens to older dogs" and can't be treated. My pup passed away about 6 months after. This hospital is terrible.
