So as many of you know Adam and I have two bearded dragons, Apollo who is 2 and (Tiger)Lilly who is…read more6 months old. Sadly we did previously have another dragon, Phoenix, but she passed away. In Halifax there are 2 (1/2) vet clinics that handle exotics. Fairview Animal Hospital, and the Sackville Animal Hospital. Poor Nixie tried to lay eggs one day and well things did not go well. We needed to take her to a vet and right away! Naturally this happened on a Friday night around 11pm, and I had been previously told that the emergency vet clinic did not handle reptiles (this was misinformation), so we waited until the morning and frantically called first thing. We were able to get in to see Dr. Benjamin the exotic specialist within an Hour. Although things didn't work out for Nixie all of the staff were extremely warm and welcoming. We walked in with our tupperware container and the second they saw us they said "Oh that must be Phoenix", and you could tell they all genuinely cared about us, our lizard, and wanted to do everything in their power to help. Some of the interns who were working there stayed with her the entire time she was there, trying to make sure she ate, that her distention was properly cared for and that she was warm and as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately Dr. Benjamin was not going to be in on Sunday and Nixie needed continued care so they did all the necessary paperwork, faxed it and called ahead to the emergency Vet Clinic, so that we could transfer Nixie there (which also saved us some money as they did not have to do a full exam and assess her injury or develop a treatment plan). About a week later we received a card in the mail signed by all the staff thanking us for choosing the Sackville Animal Hospital, and then about a week after we had called them to tell them that Nixie had passed away, we received a sympathy card from them with personalized notes from all the staff. Not just signatures but real notes. I have taken many pets to many vets and have NEVER felt like the vet clinic cared so much about the animals and owners. I would very highly recommend the Sackville Animal Hospital, and will continue to make the 45 minute drive to have my dragons cared for, rather than go to the closer exotic vet because the staff are so fantastic!

With that said, we bring both the dog & cat to this location for a number of reasons, but the main thing is that they are thorough and isn't that what that counts?

The front staff are always nice, even on the phone when the dog ate something he shouldn't. Reminders are sent via mail for the upcoming shots, the location is bright & clean. For serious issues that require an overnight, you might have to transfer the pet to the metro vet hospital in burnside since they are closed at 8.

Nov. 26, 2021: A…read morefew hours after his very first dose (1/4 pill of mirtazapine for appetite, 1/4 pill of tapazole for hyperthyroidism) our cat, Milo, is vocalizing, has an abnormal gait (ataxia), is restless, trembles somewhat when he stands to eat/drink and is lethargic. He still uses the box well enough, but if no one is with him he'll fall in it. Thankfully though, he's still eating and drinking; albeit, not very much. If he doesn't get that shit out of his system soon, I fear a very extremely difficult decision will need to be made... one that we are not even remotely ready for. On top of everything else, the vet who gave our baby this toxic garbage didn't even give us the correct bag of fluids; he needs saline, we requested saline, but she gave us plasma lyte--AND NO HOSE!!! Due to this horrible experience, it will be a very long time from now before we feel confident enough to give another cent to another vet for anything other than euthanization! When I called the vet back she tried to claim the change in him was the result of advanced CKD before calling it a coincidence, blaming it on his CKD, as well as his age. Very quickly after she suggested he spend the weekend at the vet for a "rapid flush". THE WEEKEND?? AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY?? WHY, SO THEY COULD KILL HIM AND CLAIM HIS CKD WAS THE CAUSE??? Or did she suggest it because she KNOWS just how badly she fk'd up??? When I explained that other than for his dehydration, HE WAS 100% FINE, she immediately went silent! After poisoning our baby, we will never fully trust another vet for as long as we have left on this planet! Mirtazapine risks:: The most common adverse effects reported to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center in 84 cats intentionally or accidentally exposed to oral mirtazapine included vocalization, agitation, vomiting, abnormal gait/ataxia, restlessness, tremors/trembling, hypersalivation, tachypnea, tachycardia, and lethargy. Tapazole risks:: Methimazole's (as it's otherwise known) risks include vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, blood clotting, and blood cell abnormalities. It should not be used in pets that are allergic to it, or those allergic to carbimazole or polyethylene glycol. Cats with autoimmune disease, liver disease, *****kidney disease*****, or blood and clotting diseases should not use this medication, or it should be used with extreme caution and significant monitoring. UM, FKN, WHAT??? NICE DOCTORING! NOT A SINGLE SIDE POSSIBLE EFFECT WAS EXPLAINED TO US NOR WAS IT ADVISED THAT WE MONITOR HIM WITH EXTREME CAUTION! Additionally, at the very first appointment we had with M. Jahncke she mentioned euthanasia may be necessary and that was even before she examined Milo; who at the time was still very active! When we called her today she mentioned euthanasia THREE FKN TIMES IN A SPAN OF FIVE GODDAMN MINUTES! WTF??! On top of all that, Jahncke said, "He should be checked for hyperthyroidism." This YT vet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3qeRtfeckU) very clearly states that hyperthyroidism and renal failure go hand in hand. So, Jahncke charged us $120 extra for something she most definitely already knew Milo had just so she could tack on even more money for poison pills, she most certainly knew the negative effects of; after all she holds the fancy vet degree... Zero stars! Would not recommend! Nov. 27, 2021: Update: Our cat is no longer with us; he was euthanized today. He became immobile the day after we originally Yelped about Bedford Parks. Side effects of the aforementioned drugs:: He could no longer lift his head; his nose was practically dragging on the floor. He was yowling, sliding all over the floor, trembling when he tried to walk, and could not even look at the people who love him unless he was being cradled in our arms or laying on his side; which was the most comfortable position for him to be in after all the shit drugs destroyed him. During one of our snuggle times, I lifted his head to look at his eyes, which is when I noticed his head/neck felt very heavy and rigid. WTF DID THOSE FUCKING DRUGS DO TO OUR BABY?!? To all those who have a beloved furbaby, please NEVER take them to the greedy, heartless, incompetent staff at Bedford Parks (North End Animal Hospital, East Hants Animal Hospital, or Eastern Passage Village Vet Hospital) as I can't imagine Jahncke or anyone who works with Jahncke are any better; morally. And please NEVER give them the drugs I've listed above. I've spoken to several dozen people in a CKD-specific pet group; many of them have had similar/identical issues happen to their precious babies as what has happened to our beloved treasure, Milo.

We have always had excellent treatment here for our dog. Great staff and nice clean facilityread more
