| - This office cares only about your money!! My sister and I took our cat, Lucille, there after she got bit by a rattlesnake. We were late in getting her to a vet, she had been bit about 36 hours prior to us getting her there. Dr. Brittany N. Lucchetti, DVM, examined Lucy. She told us that Lucy needed antivenin and observational care, but that "she was on track to a 100% recovery" - those were her exact words. She told me and my sister this in a way that was overly optimistic, and she gave us actual hope that Lucy would be able to pull through. What she should have told us is that it is extremely rare for animals who have been bitten by a snake to survive when they are not given immediate medical attention. What she should have told us is that it would be extremely painful for Lucy. What she should have told us is that Lucy was not doing well. Instead, she painted this pretty picture that everything would be fine and Lucy would make a "100% recovery". $3,600 later, I took Lucy home to keep her comfortable and love on her for her last couple days with us. I put her down 5 days after Dr. Lucchetti told me she would make a 100% recovery. My poor baby went through so much pain and suffering during that time, but all this clinic cared about was getting as much money as they could out of us so they kept telling us she was "recovering and doing well." Dr. Lucchetti should've been real with us and told us what her chances were at the beginning, instead of feeding us false hope of a "100% recovery." I could've saved my cat 4 days of suffering.
