| - I was there again last night. A neighborhood teenager was walking one of my Danes (he's been doing this for years, never had a problem) in a residential area when 3 Pitbulls came out from the side of their owner's house and without provocation, began mauling my Dane. 2 men came running out of another house at the sound of the commotion and beat the dogs off of my dog (who had laid down on the street, not knowing what to do and definitely not a vicious dog or a fighter). After all the hoopla with police and animal control, I headed straight to UAH. My dog was a bloody mess. it was late, but they were still open. The receptionist said they could get him in right now. She left and then another receptionist said they could get him in an hour from then. That was the only thing that I found a bit disconcerting about last night's visit, even after I told her that I had already been told they would see him right now, she still insisted that they only had an 8 pm appointment available. I was ready to leave and find a place that would take him in right away - this is an emergency, not a routine visit, the dog is bleeding, in extreme pain and if they aren't going to do anything right then and there, time to move on. The vet came out and dismissed the idea of the receptionist of waiting an hour, took him straight to the back and started cleaning him up and coming up with how much it was going to cost to fix my Dane. I agreed to the charges and left - they had to knock him out so they could shave and clean the wounds and put staples in some of them, I was basically invited to leave (not in a rude way, just it's gonna be a while, we'll give you a call when we're done and IF he can go home tonight). Which worked out fine for me, church just down the street and a prayer meeting going on. They had him fixed up and ready to go by 8:30 pm. The vet was great, 5 stars to the vet. She did a wonderful job, has a great demeanor for dealing with other people's pets in such a time when a pet is injured and I have nothing but good to say about her (so it probably would have been good to get her name, lol). I just hope that the receptionist that decided to make a dog and it's owner wait with that kind of thing going on gets a bit of an education. No, the dog isn't going to die if he has to wait an hour but he WAS in extreme pain and an owner that was extremely nervous and anxious about getting him looked at.
