I used to take my animals to this vet. I took my cat here for a standard neutering procedure when he was a kitten. The vet called me and told me that he wasn't doing well (apparently he was bleeding out) and that they didn't have the facilities to deal with his worsening condition and suggested that I pick him up and transport him to ER services elsewhere. I live 30 minutes from the vet and the closest Animal ER was 30 minutes from the vet as well. I asked them if they had any transport services or contacts to transport him to proper facilities in his quickly worsening condition (since I was far away). They said they would not transport him or provide me with a service contact that could help transport him where he could receive care. All this time he is continuing to bleed out- the 30 minutes I drove to pick him up and the additional 30 minutes I had to drive him to the Animal ER in Cincinnati in a panicked state as he still continued to bleed out. I asked if a trained technician or vet could stay with us/him while he was in an unstable state during transport to the ER since I did not know how to help him or keep him as stable as possible and they were still lacking offers, helpfulness, ideas, and/or advice as they, in short, just stared at me so they could go home for the night. The veterinarian said she suspected that he had a clotting disorder because he was bleeding from his surgical site. $1500 later, after having to spend that much at the ER, turns out that my cat did not have a clotting disorder, in fact the ER provided me with documentation that his very near death experience (as a very young kitten who had gone in for a simple, standard neutering procedure) was the result of the veterinarian's failure to perform ligation(tying off) of the spermatic cord during his surgery- which is a standard, textbook, and very important, necessary part of any neutering procedure. Care Center (Animal ER) in Cincinnati, OH is wonderful and thankfully they were able to save his life (he has a lot of life left ahead of him- he is just 6 months old). Obviously I am highly dissatisfied with this vet (while their prices may be lower than others - it clearly comes at a price here). If anyone is interested in contacting me about the handling of legalities regarding this unfortunate event- please contact me at rachelmorgan60@yahoo.com. I would be very interested in hearing from you. Also, I was billed as well for this epic failed practice. read more
