This place used to be called "Value Vet." Well you get exactly what you pay for here... Cheap, uneducated "vets", and I say that term LOOSELY!
I brought my cat here a couple years ago because he had a seizure. They did all kinds of work and ultimately diagnosed him with epilepsy and prescribed him phenobarbital twice a day. I remember when they did testing they mentioned his lymph nodes were swollen and just assumed he had an infection and gave some antibiotics. Maybe a year went by and he had one other seizure within that year. Then one day he just didn't want to eat. Brought him back and they did more testing and scans and then said he had fluid built up in his abdomen and he wasn't looking good. Said he might have lymphoma Cancer and I need to take him to an Oncologist for more testing. I did that. Turns out he never had epilepsy, his beginning seizure was from his lymph nodes and nervous system being attacked by cancer and it caused him a seizure. By the time (now a year later after they misdiagnosed him with epilepsy) that I was told to take him to the oncologist for tests it was too late, Cancer had already spread to his major organs.. I was also informed by the Oncologist that lymphoma is the leading cancer in felines and can be quite common. So my question is, when I originally took him in and they told me he had swollen/enlarged lymph nodes, then why didn't they take it more seriously and do more testing or recommend going to get more tests done to make sure it wasn't cancer and was in fact epilepsy like they diagnosed him with? Y'all are supposed to be the professionals right? Shouldn't you have known from the beginning that lymphoma could have been a possibility? Sounds like you should have known from what I was told by the Oncologist, and they were even shocked no follow up testing was done or recommended after discovering his lymph node problem and seizures. Y'all should have made that connection FIRST and had it checked out not just automatically diagnose him with epilepsy and a infection..I'm not a Veterinarian, Im trusting in y'all and what you are telling me! So, in the end because of this place my cat was put on phenobarbital medication for a year that he didn't even need, misdiagnosed with Epilepsy by this "vet", again I say that term loosely! My cat unfortunately ended up passing away from his Cancer. It hurts to think that if this place actually put in the effort and care with his testing and diagnosis, that his cancer could have been caught early before it spread to his major organs and he could have gotten treatment early on which would have had a much higher success rate for remission. He was only 4 when he passed, 3 when they misdiagnosed him with Epilepsy... My cat could possibly still be alive today if he had gotten the right diagnosis and then got treatment with the Oncologist. This place just brushed off his symptoms for much less severe conditions and sent him on his way. I WILL NEVER bring another pet of mine to this place and I highly recommend nobody else does either!! If you truly care for your animals and want the best treatment, possibly pay a little more and take them to a more reputable vet. This place is not it! read more
