On October 26, 2010 I brought my two cats to in for de-clawing to Yonkers Animal Hospital, as both were destroying the house and it was the only way I could keep them. I received a phone call stating that my cats did not make it through the surgery. When I got there I found one cat bloated and deceased, Lexy, and the other, Bella, bleeding profusely in her cage due to the un-bandaged, de-clawed paws. They told me that the Lexy, the 7 month old, died of an enlarged heart. A month prior I brought Lexy to a different vet for a spay and she had no medical condition. Bella was bleeding to death and going into shock. I ran them to another vet and they were able to determine that the kitten's heart was fine, and that she died from an overdose. My other cat, Bella, is currently in critical condition. If I had not taken the older cat in time, she would have died as well. I understand that all surgeries have risks; however, to have 2 cats that are overdosed does not seem to be a normal surgical risk. I would never risk my animal’s health in no way, shape, or form. Added to the fact, the communication between the clinic and I was less than sympathetic, caring, and/or professional to say the least! Animals are part of our family and should be treated as such, you would never leave your child to bleed to death, nor should your pet be treated that way! The interactions that occurred between me and the staff at Yonkers Animal Hospital were completely horrendous. They were undeniably rude and had no remorse for the death of my kitten and did not own up to their actions whatsoever. I advise anyone that is considering taking their beloved pet(s) to Yonkers Animal Hospital on 526 Saw Mill River Rd, Yonkers, NY 10701 to strongly think twice before doing so. The condition of the other animals in the cages/kennels was absolutely appalling, as they looked as though they were overdosed on medication(s).
