Review of Groupe Daubigny

TO AVOID!

TO AVOID!
We gave our cat several tests at this hospital. It took more than 2 weeks to get the results (and that's because we called several times and insisted on getting them because our cat was not fine). We finally got the results "botch" by the receptionist, who told us that they had found nothing, but that if our cat was not well, they advised us to consult again. (That's why we wanted the results, to be able to consult with a track!) So we got the results and that same evening, we were back in emergency at their home.
The veterinarian makes 2 proposals: $ 960 for a night in the emergency room with an ultrasound the next day (to be sure that not all the x-rays, blood tests, cultures, etc. were wrong when indicating nothing, the veterinarian himself said that he expected the ultrasound to give nothing more) and the same drugs that we had already been prescribed 2 weeks earlier OR $ 3200 for a urinary blockage with the big kit, but since we were not sure it was blocked, we had to wait a few hours.
When I asked if I could leave with my cat at home (I live 5 minutes from this hospital) in order to avoid paying overnight in the emergency room, I was told that I would not save anything, because by coming back (even on the same day) a fee of $ 82 for return will be charged (which is approximately the cost of the hospital night).
I finally decide to go home with my cat. The veterinarian tells me that if within 3-4 hours the cat has not urinated, it will have to come back and that will be the $ 3,200 option.
In addition, the veterinarian prescribed the same drugs as the previous visit, but since these are anti-inflammatory drugs, he suggested taking a blood test to find out if my cat had kidney disease. . This blood test costs $ 200. However, it had to be done at the previous visit, because it was exactly the same medication.
The next morning, seeing that my cat has still not urinated, I contacted the St-Hyacinthe Veterinary Medicine Hospital for their opinion. They were much more in tune and offered other options / tracks. When I told them about Daubigny's fees ($ 3,200), they mentioned that I offered services for $ 1,000 to $ 2,000.
Well, for $ 1000 less, I drove the way and my cat was immediately taken care of by a team who really wants his property and not my money like in Daubigny.
Daubigny is to be avoided at all costs, unless you are a millionaire.

(At least, they made the transfer of the file, to the veterinary hospital, without problem. Only positive point.)
