Lab work showed a likely UTI and anemia. The anemia was not shared with me. My dog did well over all and almost $900 later she came home. The next several days were uneventful but on Sunday March 22 in early evening my dog became ill and showed signs of distress. A trip to Mountain Emergency Vet was in order. Upon exam and radiograph it was determined she had a ruptured tumor on her spleen and there was little to be done so my sweet precious Buttercup was euthanized I'm not suggesting CBVC did anything wrong but it's their behavior since that has shown their true mission which is the almighty dollar and lack of caring being their mission. The emergency vet notified CBVC early March 23 of Buttercups passing. I called later that morning. Now mind you my dog had her annual On the 17th March and needed no routine vet services for a year had she lived. On Saturday April 4th I received a text from CBVC saying my dog needed vet services. I was really distressed and called them and chewed them out. Done with their incompetence so I thought. Yesterday I got a postcard saying my dog which passed 3 weeks earlier needed an annual checkup. These people should never be allowed to be in business. They really don't care about your pet or you. Run like hell to another Vet as fast as you can go. My heart is broken at the loss of my sweet precious Buttercup and they're so cruel that every time I start getting into a better head space they hit me again. They are cruel and evil.

The first vet, an older guy, was wonderful! He walked in, GREETED my docile dog, PET my docile dog, SPOKE KINDLYto my docile dog, got on the FLOOR with my docile dog. Today, the vet walked in, didn't GREET my docile dog, didn't PET my docile dog, didn't SPEAK to my dog. Not an ounce of attention. Vet is awful. My sweet dog then growled and snipped at the vet. The tech was equally as uncaring. I put a muzzle on my dog, they walked him to the back. Came back and said he was too aggressive to exam or take blood from. The tech stated that he was scared. Well, NO WONDER! They didn't want to spend even a few minutes to get my dog warmed up to them. Just throw the damn muzzle on him. These people don't care about your dog, they just want you in and out, like a herd of cattle. They wanted me to BUY meds and bring him back drugged at a later date. Rather than THEY take a few minutes to make my dog feel secure, they wanted ME to sedate my dog and bring back. That first vet had my dog loving him! I take my dog to my brewery, around dozens of people. He's NEVER been aggressive with anyone. These people can't relate to dogs and shouldn't be in the biz. $50 wasted on THEIR unprofessionalism. Never again. THIS IS THE HONEST TO GOD TRUTH. THEIR RESPONSE STATING ANYTHING DIFFERENT IS BS.
