Well, our 12 yo German Shepherd was acting wierd and we waited for about an hour at home before calling this location. She was lethargic and had rapid breathing.
We took her in and the staff greeted us with gentle, kind words and was very concerned with her condition.
They took her back to get vitals and so on. Within 3 min of being there and filling out paper work the tech ran out and said "we are losing her, do you want CPR?" Without hesitation (and since we had no idea what was going on) we said yes.
The vet came out to talk to us. She was very kind and knowledgeable. She told us she most likely had a spleen tumor and she had internal bleeding (she took a sample from her belly).
She told us it was grim and asked if we wanted to be with her while she put her to sleep. We said yes, and the tech ran up and said she was slipping again. We went back there and she was gone. It was such a sad and fast-paced night. The tech and vet were all very compassionate and understanding.
We were there for a total of 10 minutes. When we went up front to pay the bill, I almost choked! The CPR was $200 and the total bill (mind you there was no shots, just an IV for fluids) The total bill was $515.
We had no idea what was going on and hence the CPR was something we had to do.
Sadly, we lost our dog and paid alot of money. But the care and the staff were superior and I felt the service was excellent.
