  • If it were possible to give negative stars this vet shop would rate a minus 10. This Veterinary Shop let my cat die and took advantage of his distress to try to sell me about $900.00 worth of veterinary goods and services that weren't related to his last illness. This seems to be a common practice in Nevada as the Nevada Veterinary Board claims they have no authority to sanction fraudulent veterinary sales practices, only veterinary malpractice as determined (or denied) by their own veterinary insiders. Apparently, the entire state of Nevada is a free-fire zone for Fraudulent Veterinary Sales Practices. Short story: I took my 12 year old paraplegic tom-cat Panther in for diagnosis and treatment because his abdomen was bloated, he wasn't himself, and he couldn't pee. Instead of following my suggestion to take a simple ultrasound image that would have immediately indicated that Panther was bleeding to death internally, the vet tried to sell me $300.00 worth of useless plain x-rays. In an attempt to save Panther's life I let the vet persuade me to purchase about $600 worth of what turned out to be useless veterinary goods and services including expensive joint medication (Dasuquin), vitamins, arthritis medication (Metacam), a deadly antibiotic (Convenia), cat food, urine collection and testing (which did not reveal the urinary tract bleeding that exsanguinated Panther), in-house blood chemistry, fluid therapy, and "warming". The vet diagnosed hypothermia and dehydration even though it was 90F outside and Panther's hematocrit (% of red blood cells) was a normal 32.9. Although the vet was able to upsell me about $600 worth of useless goods and services he never figured out that Panther was bleeding to death internally. The next day Panther died shortly after I found him sitting in a large pool of his own blood. Could Panther have been saved if the vet had taken the ultra-sound I suggested and correctly diagnosed internal bleeding? I won't ever know. What I do know is that this veterinary practice was effective at fraudulently upselling me unnecessary veterinary goods and services and entirely ineffective at diagnosing and treating Panther's last illness. More later, I need to attend to my day job.
