| - NOTE: the 'vet responded with Completely INACCURATE information, more of a reason to not visit this 'vet'. The reasons just keep piling up!!
I would like to start off by mentioning that when I first adopted my dog she had been taken to this specific vet to receive her shots. We figured it was a vet and we didn't have to pay the enrollment fee so we stayed.
My dog started developing red bumps on her stomach line and her mouth area when she was about three months old. We took her to the vet and he said that it was normal for puppies to have these bumps along their stomach and that it was fine. He told me that all puppies get red infectious looking bumps on their stomach from time to time, it was normal.
About two months after this, my dog started developing patches of missing hair. We went to dr. petcu and told him our concerns, and we even mentioned that we thought she had mange. He told us that there was no chance that she had mange, and to buy his shampoo that would be hypoallergenic, use a medication called prednisone, and to buy a special veterinary diet. Keep in mind that the shampoo is his own that he sells, and the veterinary diet is about $2.50 a pound.
Now, we used this veterinary diet, shampoo and medication combination for about a month, and every day my puppy got worse and worse. We woke up one morning with her face bleeding and swollen to well over twice the size that it normally is.
Worried that my dog might actually die, I scheduled her with a separate veterinarian, who I highly recommend(Sugarloaf Veterinary Clinic, off of cave creek and Sharon). When we came in the door our doctor acknowledged that we had a dog with an actual skin disease, and requested that we do skin scrapings and blood work immediately. We come to find out that our dog does have mange, and it has become very severe being as though it was untreated.
This is five months after we walked in with a dog showing symptoms of mange with no attempt to even provide proper care.
There was not one phone call placed to us to ask us come in because of our dogs condition with doctor Petcu.
Dr. Petcu prescribed our dog a steroid that actually made her disease worse.
Overall Dr. Petcu will never have my trust with any animal, especially my puppy. Due to his negligence in practice, my dog has suffered through an elongated period of pain.
SIDE NOTE: Yesterday: 08.11.17 I visited this office to gain records of treatment and shots as well as speak to the vet regarding how disappointed I am in the quality of care he provided.
Long story short: I was basically told that I'm the reason for my dogs condition being so bad, and that I can hire an attorney. After months of not hearing anything, after about 2 months of not seeing this vet, yesterday afternoon(pretty much right when I left the vets office) a report was made to the human society about 'lack of care for an animal and lack of treatment'. Today, 08.11.17, a humane society worker showed up on my mother's door(her address was in paperwork from doctor Petcu's office) wanting to see Una, my dog, and her medical history and treatment.
I confronted an issue I had with this veterinarian and he called the humane society on me for 'not taking care of my animal'.
The reason I post and even went to speak to this vet, is because I do not want other pet owners to deal with the extreme lack of professionalism as well as care from this 'vet'.
The reason I'm so furious with the disgusting excuse of treatment my dog received is because of how much I care for my dog.
NEVER VISIT THIS 'ANIMAL CLINIC'.
Complete disaster, waste of time, pathetic excuse for a vet, and overall distasteful. I would give zero stars if I possibly could.
