    Quitman Animal Clinic - This is how they send her home in a cardboard box and a plastic trash bag

    Quitman Animal Clinic

    Staff is friendly enough, but they are incredibly over priced compared to other places for boarding…read morein the area. Not to mention it's the only place I know that you get charged by the day instead of the night for boarding so be prepared to pay for the day you drop off and pickup! Wish I'd read the reviews before hand because apparently there are plenty of people that feel the same about all their services!

    Took my dog in who was having wierd symptoms and they gave her Valium- they noted in her chart the…read moreValium lead her to have seizures. They called in a paradoxical effect yet they administered it to her again 2x more- which obviously led to more seizures and then ultimately they gave her some other type of sedatives took her off of all her machines because they didn't want her to have another seizure and thrash around and hurt herself- so they said! Although I was keeping her there overnight for a "observation" yet no one informed me that that meant that no one would be in the clinic, there's no cameras on the animals, and they're not attached to any vital machines or alarms or anything of that nature. So basically when they say observation, they mean she's just gonna sleep there and they'll hope for the best and when they came in the next morning, she had passed away. I was not able to get any answers as to the time that she passed away how she passed away or anything. But if I was to post, which I might, the medical record review on here, I'm sure many people would agree with me that this veterinarian killed them Dr. Bennett told me that he was so worried for my animal that he himself came in at midnight to check on her and she was "fine". But don't you think I should've gotten a phone call if the doctor is that worried about an animal that the owner should've eaten informed I was awake at midnight, crying my eyes out worried for my dog! The weird thing is that was a bold face lie because there's no documentation on his visit at midnight instead, there is a documented visit to her crate or kennel at 9 PM by an unknown tech who noted that she had woken up from her sedation and was back to thrashing around and not doing well and again where was my phone call??!?? this happened in August, but I still cannot get over the fact that my dog came home dead all due to the fact that they misled me and made me think that she would be OBSERVED when in reality all they did was put her into a sedation, almost an anesthetic sedation, took her off all machinery and left her there overnight. There was no midnight check like Dr. Bennett lead me to think and the last time she was looked at was 9 PM and she was not doing well and I did not get that news. Otherwise I would've picked her ass up and taking her straight over to the Tyler hospital where they have actual observation on animals overnight by their staff I'm so upset that the choice and veterinary care is what made the difference probably between my dog living or dying. I mentioned medications that were on the property and in a separated house and it's it appears like they treated her for getting into those meds which was nearly impossible, and I explained that to the doctor over and over again when I returned home and looked at the property, I noticed that there were several species of mushrooms that had bloomed after the recent rain that had occurred and I now believe that it was mushroom toxicity that she had stepped on a very toxic mushroom and was having a reaction to that maybe even just high or tripping and she needed to just kill or sleep it off, but regardless of all that once they found out that the medication they were giving her was causing her to have a negative paradoxical" effect they should have contacted me immediately and told me to send her to a higher level of care I would have picked her up and brought her to a 24 hour urgent or emergency care center which I believe is In Tyler. I explained the doctor that money was not an issue and I think that is why he decided to keep her on as a patient instead of doing what was best for her and referring me to a higher level of care. When they called me in the next day, I was devastated and I mentioned that I was gonna do the necropsy exam postmortem and I felt like they were trying to convince me to cremate. However, I have another dog here who is her littermate and everything that I know said that they had to say goodbye so I brought her home. Sorry the pictures are a little bit gory like I had your document everything as to this situation which was the advice of my attorney if anyone else has had a similar issue like this, please reach out to me or make a effort to find me somewhere that we can get together because you're not the only one there have been several animals who have died under the care of these veterinarians and they're getting away with it because in the state of Texas animals, I looked that like "property" and they know that so they don't really care as much as they probably should- one review I looked at on Google said that they killed an animal because they over vaccinated. They added too much of a certain vaccine that killed this animal. How many times can they get away with doing something like this? If I could give zero stars I would, but I have to give at least one just so I can have this people put into the public eye.
