| - ******A REVIEW AND A NOTICE******
Last month I had brought my 6yr old PitBull in for a microchip and a concerning bump on his chest. They had quoted me 2 very reasonable prices, the low end included just taking a biopsy of the bump and sending it to the lab & the higher end included putting him under anesthesia and removing the mass completely + sending to the lab. I was not financially ready for either options at the time and they didn't pressure me into doing one over the other. I am in the process of getting finances ready to make an appointment for the first option, as I really don't want to put my dog completely under anesthesia, unless it is absolutely necessary, that's just my personal choice.
This week, I had brought my cat in for a check up and Dr. Coy informed me that my 10 month old cat has heart murmurs. She also took him to the back to get a 2nd opinion by another vet who has 40+ years experience in the field, and he confirmed the heart murmurs. Again, I was quoted for 2 options, a low-end & high-end, with a breakdown of everything they would need to perform on my cat, she even informed me on what I could or could NOT skip out on. I decided to skip the x-rays and immediately approved them to take a blood/urine sample to see if his liver/kidneys would be able to withstand the medications he would need to be taking for his heart murmurs. I will be bringing him back in order to do further testing with an "echo" ultrasound in a few weeks as they would need a specialist to come in and perform the procedure on my cat to see exactly what is going on in his heart and proceed from there.
The following is majorly for 'Belinda M.' & anyone else who has a critically injured animal:
I regret to inform you, but they were doing you a favor in giving you the emergency animal hospital's information. If your dog needed a blood transfusion, the VE+CC is the only 24 hour emergency animal hospital who is equipped to perform such procedures. I speak from experience when my cat was shot & nearly killed in critical condition. I called multiple vets (including my primary) and they all referred me to VE+CC.
Please consider the fact that your dog was in critical condition when you brought him in. If they had began examining him and found out that he needed medical attention that they were not equipped for, your beloved pet just lost all of that very precious time in which could have been utilized in getting your animal to the proper care in the first place.
If they truly weren't looking out for you and your animal's best interests, they wouldn't still be in business with loyal clients & patients.
