I thought Dr. Montana was a good vet that cares... until recently.
I took my 2 dogs in because they were itching incessantly and had these little scabs and red spots all over. I thought they had mange, but when I got to the vet he told me they didn't have mange and that it was allergies. I thought, why ALL OF A SUDDEN would they BOTH have allergies when we've lived in AZ for 2 years? But I couldn't explain it, I'm not a vet, so I took the recommendation of giving them cortisone shots and went on my way. He said the itching would stop in a couple of hours and when it didn't it had me worried. The shots weren't working so what could it be?? I decided to check them again and upon further 'thorough' inspection I found that they were both COVERED in ticks!! I pulled about 30 off of them!
WHY did the vet not check for ticks?? Why was this not caught?? How could he diagnose them with allergies when he obviously didn't provide a thorough exam?? I was outraged!! Not only did I pay $150 for shots that weren't needed I had to completely tear apart my house a few days later because not only were ticks on the dogs, they were everywhere!! I had a professional pest company come spray and also treated the dogs with Frontline - another $200 bucks!
I called their offices asking for a refund for the shots and was told that they wouldn't do that because the Dr. didn't find any ticks. No shit!! Because he didn't check properly! Gr, I'm so mad!
I also mentioned that one of my dogs teeth were very bad and that he had a strong foul odor coming out of his mouth and he didn't do or recommend anything for him! Since then he has lost a tooth and isn't eating normally. Poor guy!! Come to find out, after my own research, it looks as though he has periodontal disease and needs treatment! I will be taking him to a new vet on Saturday. Hopefully, they will be able to help right away!
These are my babies and I will not tolerate anyone being so careless!! Shame on you!!
