Rare to find such a professional Team, and kind at the same time! They know what they are talking about, we had them spay two of our backyard cats hrs. ago. Surgery ca.1cm long, cats recovered very fast and behave absolutely normal. We will bring also the rest of those homeless backyard cats to the Old Pueblo VC...God bless you all, and thank you very much! Merry Christmas!
I will give the major details here. However there are many more subtle facts that in a whole would more than likely send chills. Am I being dramatic? I wish that were the case. First , let me say that due to a simple scratch on my dogs ear from my cat, I learned from the veterinarian that my dog, just 9 months old had a "SLIGHT" clotting problem,as he had referred to it. He put liquid bandage on the scratch and the bleeding finally stopped. He bled for nearly 2 days, never forming a scab. Well, I went to the front desk and made an appointment for a simple neutering, and took my dog back home..Bleeding stopped,he was back to being rambunctious, and chasing his buddy,the cat. A few days later I took him back to the veterinarian for his neutering. I dropped him off at 7:30 and scheduled to pick him up anytime after 2. At 10:30 I received a voicemail saying that Peanut had gone through the surgery , and was resting comfortably. At 12:30 there was another voicemail asking that we pick him up at 4 or 4:30. They "would like to keep him for observation a little longer due to the history of his bleeding problem with his ear". At 4:30 I walked in to find my little 8 1/2 pound playful pup covered in blood on his face and neck. The assistant informed me that the doctor had pulled 2 of his baby teeth while he was under anesthesia. She quickly gave me aftercare instructions for his incision area...".keep ice on him to help with the swelling, bring him back on monday for a follow-up". And off we went. Not once did I speak to a veterinarian, before ,or after the surgery. At 8:30 that same evening, I knew something was very wrong. He was not coming out of it, but just the opposite...he was sinking deeper. I called the emergency hospital, since the clinic had no way to reach them. They asked me to look at his gums. WHITE !! And his lips were cold as ice on the inside. They informed me that he was bleeding internally and I needed to bring him in right away. By 9:30 i gave them permission to euthanize . He needed a transfusion, and I just did not have the money for such an expense. I left the hospital with no baby. I gave them permission to cremate, and walked away. After an entire weekend searching the internet, I realize that this "veterinarian" was not only negligent , but very much seems like malicious intent. I picked up the frozen body of my companion this morning, hoping for an autopsy. He is still frozen..here...with me. My conclusions are this: Knowing that the patient has a clotting problem, why was he not given medication prior to surgery to help him with forming clots ?? Knowing that the patient had not been given the needed medication, why did the vet remove 2 teeth that I did not authorize, causing more trauma for his body to undergo. Bleeding from the incision, and from the removal of the teeth. AND, here is the kicker, Why was he given his rabies vaccine while under going such an already life threatening situation. After research, I found that when given a rabies vaccine, the animal is not to undergo any undue stress, so a bad reaction to the vaccine will be noticed, if one occurs. This poor bleeding ,weakened animal was introduced to a fatal disease. Not having the ability to fight against the rabies. I am hoping that someone will help me take that monster out of veterinary medicine. How many has he done this to in the past? How many will he KILL in the future?
This other person must be smoking crack, because this clinic went above and beyond for me. ABC spay/neuter almost killed my dog. I called as a new client and they fit me in same morning within an hour! The doctor told me EXACTLY what they had done to her, and told me that if I couldn't afford it, they wouldn't run all of the tests for me. I had them do the tests anyways, and he was RIGHT ON THE MONEY. He even gave her some free IV fluids to perk her up quickly. BONUS: While I was waiting for her test results, a guy came in with a puppy that had been run over. They are NOT an emergency clinic, but they rushed the dog in and started treating the puppy. They then prepared the pup for transfer to an emergency clinic, once they had done all they could. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Ferguson saving my dog, and for what they did for that puppy, even though they could have turned that man away. Best vet ever!
I brought my dog here for the first time here yesterday for his check up and shots. Never have I received such wonderful care for a pet as they showed. They took time to go over his diet, care, and overall well being. I highly recommend them.
I've been to several vets in my life and none of them have ever showed the compassion and patience I encountered here. The staff is very kind, the Doctor is very smart and the clinic is pristine.
