On Friday, Aug. 10, 2018, I adopted two, 9 yr old rescue dogs (1 maltese, 1 shih tzu). On Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018 at approximately 10:30 p.m. the maltese was bleeding profusely from his mouth. My children & I rushed him to Garden State and felt fortunate that it was not very busy. We were greeted politely by the reception desk and told a technician would be out shortly. The women who came out gave me the impression that I was bothering her or that I had just interrupted her dinner. She acted as though all the bleeding or what happened to the dog didn't matter. (I had the underlying feeling she thought I had hurt it.) I had limited information about his prior history, but told them all I knew. We waited in a room for about 15 minutes and a doctor came in to talk to us. She said the dog wouldn't really let her touch his mouth, but she did get a quick look. She saw 2 lesions in his mouth, that could possibly be cancerous and that he had advanced gum disease - so bad that she felt if she touched a tooth, it would fall out. They never suggested sedating him to see what the actual problem was, never offered pain medicine, and didn't give him liquid form or shot of antibiotics. She informed me that they do not do dental work there, so that I should take him home - STILL BLEEDING! - and find a dental specialist in the a.m. They sent me home with CAPSULE SIZE antibiotics to give to a 12 lb. bleeding dog who could barely open his mouth. They are truly some of the most heartless, unsympathetic, cold, people I have ever encountered. No empathy, she just told me to confine him to the kitchen because he was going to bleed on and off all night. THANKS FOR NOTHING! I could have waited until Monday morning because they provided no assistance or temporary fix whatsoever. That was definitely my first and last time there.
