text: My dog required emergency surgery for a ruptured anal gland The vet I initially saw was very kind though seemed a bit clueless She understood the cost of the surgery was overwhelming and let me know of a few small things I could cut the cost by leaving out or something small she would not charge me for I returned ten days later to have the sutures removed seeing a new vet She was also very kind and seemed a bit more knowledgeable I am an overprotective pet parent and intended on leaving him in the ecollar cone for a month a little longer than they recommended A little less than three weeks after his surgery date I noticed discoloration and seeping from the same area as the surgery I immediately took him back in seeing yet again a different vet She read the surgery report and said Yeah every vet has their own way of doing things and I cannot say if I would have done it differently butthis is where we are at all but flat out saying the first vet botched the surgery When she saw that the first vet had helped by letting me opt out of certain charges she called the owner of the clinic to see they could do the same this goaround since my poor little pound pup required the same surgery and sedation in under a month and IT WAS THEIR FAULT Instead of matching the cost or even quoting me the regular cost of the surgery the OWNER told the vet to charge me MORE than the first initial quote I said I wanted to take him to a different vet due to poor customer service and obviously lacking veterinary skills They said I still had to pay them for them examining him My dog was in the back and I could not get him back until I paid I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS TAKE ANY OF MY PUPS HEREnnI have since found an amazing vet who is HONEST takes time to explain things cares for the animals gives me pros and cons for every thing regarding my animals so I can make an informed decision I have since moved to Silverado Ranch and still drive all of my animals up to Cheyenne Tonopah with Dr V
