The visit I had here with my dog was fine, albeit expensive. Dr Moss prescribed Trifexis which I paid $140 for through RVMC. After that ran out, I wanted to get more so I found a good price online and put in this vets info since they gave me the original prescription and it was still valid. My order didn't go through because RVMC would NOT honor my dogs prescription for this particular vender. I called and talked to a presumptuous and rude woman who explained this all to me. But she assured me that if the vendor was properly licensed and bonafide, that they would allow the prescription to be filled. I chose another vender who complied with all these requests and they denied the prescription again. To resolve the situation, I had to physically go down and pick up the script myself so I could mail it in to my chosen vendor in order for them to mail me the medicine. RVMC won't allow a prescription from their office to be filled by another vender because they want to force you to buy from them. I won't stand for this kind of extortion. Don't ever try and tell me where to spend my money! I'm irritated and will look elsewhere next time my dog needs to go in for a visit.
1) Brought dog in for general checkup, vet prescribed Rimadyl for mild arthritis without mentioning any of the side effects. After 3 days on the medicine, my dog could not walk. Turns out partial paralyis is one of the side effects of Rimadyl, not to mention death. There is a huge class action law suit against Rimadyl, and yet the vet didn't mention any of this. Had I known, I would take mild arthritis over partial paralysis or death any day. 2) The vet told us that our baby kitten was a female. The vet saw our kitten multiple times. It wasn't until we took our kitten to be spayed that we found out she was a he. How hard is it to tell if a cat is a boy or a girl? A professional vet should know the difference, or at least tell the patient that there is a some probability the cat is the other gender. 3) The vet charges $10/animal/record if you chose to go with another vet. Not only that, but the vet has to approve the records prior to release (are they retroactively changing the records for fear of lawsuit?) Do not go to this vet. Find another!!!!
Dr Moss really cares about his patients and always seems to have the time to talk to me about my doggy's care. He doesn't push unneccesary procedures (a big plus) but gives thoughtful, full opinions about all the options. Thanks Dr Moss!
