We've been taking our dogs here for a few years now, and the staff is wonderful- but the physicians are lacking. The Vet (and I am not going to fully call out this Dr by name because I am not that person) gave my dog an unnecessary death sentence after a 10 minute exam. I was told that "without question" my dog's enlarged lymph nodes were lymphoma and he would have 6 weeks tops. Gave me the medical term "lymphosarcoma" written on a card and told me to Google it... WHO DOES THAT!!?? I was crying and devastated for a week until I figured I'd see what our options were for treatment and took my dog to an Oncologist for tests. $650 later I discover that not only does my dog not have ANY KIND OF CANCER WHATSOEVER, his nodes are most likely allergy related. This is the very same vet that had treated my dog's severe allergies in the previous warmer months, but apparently couldnt make the connection. I resent the way I was treated and I really resent the unfounded pain and suffering I was put through. What if I was someone who didnt have the extra money to have testing done and made arrangements to have my dog "put out of his misery" based on this Drs certainty in diagnosis?? It makes me upset to think. I will no longer be taking any of my pets to this vet to be sure, but I wanted to get the message out there that you do not have to take any vet's diagnosis at face value. I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through.
