If you love your pet, do not take them here for the low cost spay neuter option! Last week I took my cat to get spayed and I'm not sure why I didn't listen to my gut when I had an uneasy feeling about leaving her here. Because it is a low cost type of operation, it's apparent that they cut corners at the expense of the benefit of the pet. They used a gut stitch in my cats wound which was meant to hold all three layers of tissue together rather than suturing each individual layer. The lady at the front desk told me I really needed to get an e-collar because they have had a lot of cases where the cats have come back and ended up dying or needing to be euthanized because they pulled their stitches out and their guts fell out. That is a direct quote! Why that did not make me run for the door, I don't know. I trusted the reviews online. That ended up being a lie too. I posted this exact same review on their Facebook page and they deleted it because they didn't want the truth to be out there. Nothing I said was untrue and I have a receipt to prove it. Regardless, I trusted the reviews and thought maybe they had a different technique that I was just not accustomed to. I have had many cats and never once have had to get external stitches for spay that required a return visit to remove them. I was a little stunned that this information because I was not even aware that technique existed. After a couple of days my cat's tummy begin getting irritated because apparently this type of stitch is highly reactive to the skin, which encourages irritation. The lower stitch got pulled out and it was gaping and seeping. With the type of stitch that they used, and the fact that no underlying stitches had been made to secure the under layers of her musculature, there was nothing protecting her. She began acting lethargic and shaky because she had a fever. I knew that I needed to get her checked out immediately but I refused to take her back to the same vet who put her in this condition to begin with. And yes for anyone wondering I got her a cone, and inflatable collar, and she still managed to get a stitch out. The stitches were cheap and encouraging her skin to break out and get irritated. I took her down the road to Guardian Animal Hospital and that doctor saved her life. She gave her a shot of antibiotics, pain medicine, Betadine wash, and had to staple her belly. And she removed the ill performed stitches. She was like a brand new cat! For every cat that I have ever owned I have taken them to a low-cost spay and neuter clinic. However not all low cost centers are the same. I have had wonderfully perfect results with the other facilities I have taken my cat's to. However, they have been an other states with higher regulations. This surgery was a hack job. They cut corners used irritating stitches and did a quick wound closure as opposed to a thorough more safe technique. And to my previous point about the lady telling me that the cats guts could fall out, if this has happened so many times that you have to warn your patients owners about this, that would be a clue they need to rethink their technique procedure! Also I have a relatively small cat, and they charged me an extra $30 because she was considered obese. That is such a ripoff and excuse to make more money. I have never had a vet charge me extra because my cat was obese, especially when my cat is not obese! When I asked why it was charged and why they consider her obese the lady giggled and said you'll have to ask the doctor. I do not trust this facility for low-cost spay and neuter.. if you love your pet you would not either.

I take him to Ashland clinic when they opened even though he's not a regular patient of theirs to be seen since the er only could say we close at 730am no matter what and have to have my diesel put to sleep ahead of his time .

Her misdiagnosis of a common problem almost lead to the death of my ferret. How one mistakes adrenal disease for fleas is beyond me but he's doing fine now thanks to the Ashland animal clinic , which actually does care and shows that rather than repeatedly telling their clients this in a monotone voice. On top of that she over charges for all services and medication by almost double! She doesn't seem to understand the relationship people have to their pets as I have fought when I found a vet that does. She would take me usually calm ferret in the back for all tests poor thing would often require multiple tries with blood work because she said he squirmed. The vet I use now doesn't have this problem as he lets me hold my fur baby and guess what no squirming no needle bruises! Online research is discouraged by her as is asking anyone who raises similar pets I don't know how it is for dogs and cats but with exotics there are parent communities of people including other vets who communicate everything from the best toys to common health issues! I understand not wanting people to override your diagnosis with the animal version of web MD but honestly especially with exotic pets research is important! Discouraging it to the point this vet does makes her seem as though she has a god complex.
