Does you vet have a fenced in outside area?: No Do you fully trust your vet?: Yes, Most of the Time What is your worst or best vet experience?: Just 5 weeks ago, a "Ophthamology" specialist recommended by my trusted vet of over 35 years, kept insisting our 17 year old dog's Cataract surgery worked. I knew the dog's vision was actually worse! As a nurse who's cared for many cataract patients, I know what my patients would say: "wow, what an immediate difference, I can see!" That's NOT what happened here. My dog did not have visual problems from Cataracts, but I later found out, even though this vet realized my dog had Retinal degeneration from age and cataract surgery costing over $3000 for ONE eye would never improve his vision, he told me I'd be amazed and my dog would see like he was a pup after the surgery. The dog is now in agony with pain, itchy eyes and this vet wouldn't have done a thing except I more than made it CLEAR, his evaluation was WRONG; my dog's vision was actually worse after having to undergo anesthesia. At this point, we're scheduled for a head CAT scan as it seems after the anesthesia and surgery, my dog probably had a Stroke. His entire demeanor is changed. He doesn't near from one ear now and has no recollection of his 17 years of over 1000 words he'd respond to. Bottom line, I'm so afraid but I am prepared to hear, our dog's sustained brain damage after a surgery that was totally unnecessary and was done, to line the pockets of this "GROSS" Ophthamologist in the Montgomery Co and Philadelphia area. Again, he wouldn't take time last week to do some blood work on my dog because he said, I took you early and I haven't eaten lunch yet, but he didn't mind taking the $1500 extra, on top of the $3000 he took for the unneeded cataract surgery. This vet REALLY IS GROSS folks, so check out any referral your trusted vet give you, before you see the GROSS Vet.

Pleasant, SC named Stan Gorlitsky almost killed my kitten Pumpkin in 2000. Fortunately, she survived because a second vet operated and repaired the spay procedure performed by Dr. Gorlitsky, which would have killed her. I quickly found out that Dr. Gorlitsky had many complaints filed against him in SC, and had already had his license suspended in Ohio for "gross incompetence". I vowed to stop him and eventually got Dr. Gorlitsky's license revoked in SC. I also worked on veterinary legislation to open up disciplinary hearings to the public and allow more documents to be available to the public. I am now working on legislation regarding animal abuse by veterinarians. Please see www.marciarosenberg.com for more of my story.

A huge challenge of course but even more rewarding when all the puppies and the mother survived, a rare occurence in veterinary emergency c-sections i'm afraid. Comments - or leave a good pet URL, Etc ...: First of all, I am very sorry for the loss of your pet. The veterinary staff should have honored your wishes about taking her outside. Having worked in two different veterinary clinics myself, I agree that having a client sign a waiver before boarding is absurd. We have boarding agreements that we have clients sign which only give us permission to treat the animal should it become ill while in our care. Also, I think it would be great if animal clinics could be staffed overnight but in many privately owned clinics i understand how that would be diffficult. However, that usually doesn't mean that the animals are not safe. Both clinics that i worked for had security systems to detect fires, break-ins and the like. Also, the animals that needed overnight care go home with the vet and one of the number one rules is that we never ever ever leave an animal alone with an IV especially overnight! 11 July 24 2008 at 05:57:07 Your Name: Sara Email: HmskoolrsRUs@cox.net Where are you from?: Florida Homepage name: PonsRUsA_Studios Your Homepage or Recommended Site URL:: http://www.youtube.com/user/PonsRUsAStudios How Did You Find Us?: Word of Mouth How good do you think this site is: No comments What Pet(s) do You Own?: Any Combination of 2 above types What are your pets name(s)?: Bodacious (American Bulldog), Nashville (Boxer/Mastiff Mix), Rebel (Boxer/Bulldog mix), Toga (Savannah Monitor) Should Vets have a fenced in area for their patients?: Yes Should pets be legally valued more than replacement cost?: YES - Replacement Cost is not enough! Does you vet have a fenced in outside area?: Yes, attached to the building. Do you fully trust your vet?: Yes What is your worst or best vet experience?: We have two, both related to the same Emergency Pet Care Center - We had two pups from the same litter (American Bulldogs), and one of the pups was run over by a hit-and-run driver. We took him to the Emergency Pet Care Center (because it happened early in the morning before our vet opened). They REFUSED to treat our dog without $$ up front, and when we tried to use our pet insurance/credit card, they said they didn't accept it (although we found out later, that was a lie, they DO take it, and in fact had helped a friend of ours whose dog had also been hit, apply for this insurance/credit card). We had no choice but to put him down. We are absolutely convinced they refused to help us or treat him because he was a bulldog -- regardless of the fact that he was not vicious, nor was he even exhibiting ANY signs of being dangerous or mean. We've recently had trouble with the SAME Emergency Pet Care Center when our pound puppy's leg was run over by accident. They made us give them a $400 check up front, but unless we agreed to over $1100 right away, they wouldn't treat him. They ended up wrapping his leg, VERY badly, and provided us with two very bad x-rays, a couple of antibiotic pills and pain pills, then sent us home (on a Saturday) to wait out the weekend until we could see our Vet on Monday Morning. Our vet was furious, and filed a formal complaint on our behalf, as well as two other patients. We are currently waiting for the outcome of the formal complaint.

It's been hell for me and my family for the last 5 months. I did file a complaint with the Alabama State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, but they dismissed my case. Alabama is the least progressive state of all. They do not protect the public but the veterinarians because they all are a clique protecting each other. The board NEVER releases to the public any information regarding discipline records. It is so devasting for guardians to lose their beloved companion pets to BAD VETS!

Yes, they should have had her double leashed with a harness to take her outside. Perhaps, being diabetic, she needed to urinate more than most dogs? It was probably the kindness of a kennel person who saw she needed to urinate. Stuff happens that is not fair. Quit blaming everything on everyone else. However, I have to leave a comment about your statement regarding "liability waivers" and saying that vets make people sign these because they care more about money than your pet. It is our extremely litigious society that makes vets have those signs! Do you REALLY think that people go to vet school because they will make a lot of money when they are done? NO! If veterinary medicine were a universally lucrative career, then maybe you're right. But in case you haven't noticed, most vets and techs care MORE about the pets than most of the owners. It is NOT about money. What is wrong with you? I drive a crappy Honda and have a crappy house because I'm a vet. If I want more money, then I'll find a new career. Then you will have no one to look after your next pets. 15 April 30 2008 at 03:21:03 Your Name: Maite Lopez Email: borikenlibre@hotmail.com Where are you from?: Miami Homepage name: Your Homepage or Recommended Site URL:: http:// How Did You Find Us?: Just Surfed On It How good do you think this site is: Looks great! What Pet(s) do You Own?: Dog What are your pets name(s)?: Luna Should Vets have a fenced in area for their patients?: Yes Should pets be legally valued more than replacement cost?: YES - Replacement Cost is not enough! Does you vet have a fenced in outside area?: No Do you fully trust your vet?: No, Not Hardly What is your worst or best vet experience?: Luna was always a very happy schnauzer puppy, full of life. She was always biting on stuff, then three weeks ago she had an explosive diarrhea and I took her to the vet where I had taken her as a small puppy to get her vaccines - they were cheaper. He said as he looked at the x-rays that she may had either an obstruction or her stomach had twisted. He advised that it was serious and she had to be operated. I had no time for a second opinion so I left her there, but the operation was done the next day.He said that he untwisted the stomach but did not find any object she could have swollen. That same day he gave us Luna with pain pills and antibiotics and we took her home. She was smelling like feces but I thought that she had pooped on herself. She was getting better but like four days later she was not eating properly, and was very lethargic. I called the vet's office to talk to the doctor but instead he relay a message to the receptionist and said to come by the clinic and buy another kind of food. A week later her belly was getting more bloated and she vomited, so I took her to the vet and he said her intestines were blocked not because of the operation, but because of what had happened to her. He did blood work, found the white blood cell count high and gave us antibiotics and sent us home. All this time he had always been very quick with his answers and always tried to dismiss right away. Or when I called on the phone he wouldn't talk to his clients but relay the message to his assistants. Last Tuesday when my mother-in-law took her to the vet to get her stitches out, he didn't even speak to her to advise on further care or the type of food we should be feeding from now on. I had to call and again the receptionist told me the doctor said to give her normal food. By this time I was not so sure about his advice so I mixed her solid food with soft food. I investigated on the internet what had supposedly happened to her - GDV or gastric dilation/Volvulus and found out many info on special care and procedures he did not discuss with us. I found out that this happens to big dogs like Great Danes and that 80% of dogs that had not had gastropexy - stitching the stomach to the abdominal wall to reduce the risk of Volvulus - would most certainly suffer from it again. So last Saturday when she was very down and had her big belly and wouldn't eat I called again and asked if he had done this procedure because I was seing her in this state with her belly inflated, and he relayed the message that he did do it and that if she continued to be inflated to take her Tuesday. But that night she got very sick and vomited and was with fever, and I took her to an animal hospital nearby. They quickly found she had an advanced peritonitis, or infection of the cavity between the abdominal wall and the organs, and that her white blood cell count was very high. They recommended to operate to see what was the status of her organs and if she had a ruptured intestine. I saw like 4 doctors and they all were shocked when I told them the story of her first diagnosis and operation and you could see in their faces the anger and frustration. They said they had never seen a case of GVD in such a small dog. She was operated yesterday, but her intestines were almost all dead; the surgeon did in fact find foreign obejects in there and he did not see evidence of GDV or that the other doctor had stitched the stomach to the wall, but he couldn't find a rupture, probably happened but with time the body repaired itself. But the intestine contents had spilled slowly inside of her, creating an infection that was killing her organs. She couldn't take the operation, and she passed away yesterday. That other vet should've performed more tests to see why she had her white blood cell count high; if he would've cheked her when he got the stitches out, the infection could have been properly controlled; or maybe she got the infection at the operating room. But because of his negligence and lies, the infection got out of control and finally took her life. He may think they are only dogs, but his ineptitude took more than somebody's pet life, he took away our sunshine, our baby. We miss her so much, with this website I can go foward and denounce to the public the irresponsibility of this vet and his clinic. I found today a review online that said that the back cages were filled with feces and that he would even eat while he was attending dogs. Please, if you live in Miami, never ever take your loved one to this vet, Pet lovers Animal Clinic. I miss you and love you Luna, even though you were with us your first 6 months of life, we felt you were with us a lifetime and gave us many cherished memories.

Does you vet have a fenced in outside area?: Yes, attached to the building. Do you fully trust your vet?: NO Comment What is your worst or best vet experience?: My worst experience is with Country Oaks Veterinary Clinic in Summerfield, Florida. I took my two females, mom and daughter, kicker & goldie to the Country Oaks Vet Clinic on March 11, 2008 to get them fixed a routine procedure, thinking that I was doing the right thing, I purchased the certificates from the Marion County Humane Society, knowing that my vet honored the certificates. I told the vet tech several times they would need to be muzzled as kicker didn't like other dogs and Goldie was afraid of people, she was afraid of my boots even when they weren't on my feet (no kidding) and NOT because we did not socialize her and NOT because she was mistreated in any way, I have her mother and brother and neither of them are afraid of people I have two sons who have people coming and going all the time. I took kicker in first met with a tech we went over the costs and procedures and I agreed to pay an extra $197.00/ dog to have their blood work done and examined first to insure that they wouldn't have any complications in surgery they weren't to do or give them anything until they first did the blood work. I was worried about it because of how sick Goldie was when she was little, they had me stay with her while they drew kickers blood, etc. she did very good but still no muzzle. They took her back while I went outside to get Goldie from my son. I took her in and again I signed the paper work for the extra preop stuff do be done we talked about the hot spots on her skin and the fact that she was on advantage and had just had a treatment the day before and again stressed that she needed to be muzzled. The tech said that I should go because the owner being there makes them more nervous. I kissed Goldie on the head told her she would be ok and handed her leash to the tech and made sure they had my phone numbers. I no sooner got her to work when they called and told me that Goldie had tried to bite the tech while she was trying to draw her blood so they tried to muzzle her and couldn't so the vet, who by the way was a new vet and I wasn't told my old vet wasn't there, gave her a shot of 50mg Telazol which is supposed to be a sedative, but it killed her. I told them not to touch my other dog and me, my husband and my daughter went back to the vets office I asked them over and over why they didn't listen to me and they kept trying to make up excuses and were very cold and nonchalant about the whole thing, I went outside, my daughter stayed trying to get copies of the paper work and she kept asking them why they didn't follow procedure and Dr. Slava said "SHOULDA COULDA WOULDA". I took Goldie to another vet here in town, who told me that she NEVER would have given Goldie the Telazol as it causes seizures and increased heart rate even when a dog is calm, and she won’t use it on any of her animals. I have spoken to several other vets and they agree they do not use this sedative on a dog already distressed, and most wont use it at all especially by IM. I looked up this drug and it says that you should not give it to a dog around the time they have had a flea treatment, which as you already read I had told them that Goldie had just had her treatment and that it is known to cause cardiac arrest in Boxers, hello, a boxer is from the bulldog family and Goldie is ½ American bulldog and it also states that a complete health evaluation and blood work is necessary PRIOR to giving this to any animal, as it can cause serious problems in animals with underlying health conditions if they had even bothered to look at her prior records, which are at their office, they would have seen the hard start and the medical issues that she had in the past and would have known that the possibility of a problem was there. I also looked up the vet and found out that she has only been practicing since January 08, again I was never told that my vet, was no longer there or that she was a brand new vet. Goldie was my baby, I delivered the puppies, I bottle fed her and 5 of her brothers and sisters every two hours for two weeks until they were able to eat a mixture of ground up puppy food and ebsilac, and then eventually solid foods, I took them to the vet every couple of weeks having them checked out, I also have one of the brothers who is now lost without her they have never been apart he walks around with her toy in his mouth and will not eat unless I put food in her bowl too, she was a part of our family, my baby, to them I was there mother, I took her to who I thought had helped me save them, someone that I trusted and they killed her because she was scared and because they wouldn’t listen to me. They completely ignored her medical history and everything that I told them and gave her an overdose of a drug that killed her and NEVER should have been given to her in the first place. If the tech had listened to me she would have been muzzled, she would have noted the flea treatments, and my concerns about her medical history, they would have done the blood work and I could have calmed Goldie down so they wouldn't have given her that drug they should not have allowed someone to work on my babies without telling me in advance that 1) was NOT their regular vet and 2) that she has only had a license since January 1, 2008. I never would have let her given the procedure that was going to be done and Goldie’s prior health issues. Dr. Slava, Dr. Ramirez and Country Oaks were grossly negligent in killing my 9 month old baby girl, they completely ignored her history, and my concerns and showed no remorse for what they did. Goldie may have been a dog to them but she was my baby I will NEVER be able to get the look on her face as she looked up at me crying, as if to say, mommy please don’t leave me, as I kissed her on the top of her head telling her she would be OK and I can not stand by and let them do this to someone else’s baby. My whole family is devastated over losing her, I am ridden with grief and guilt for leaving her with what turned out to be an inexperienced, uncaring so called veterinarian. We are supposed to be able to trust the vets and their staff, we should be able to believe that they are going to do no harm. On top of all of this after obtaining copies of all of my pets records, I also discovered that the tests they ran on Kicker showed that she has heart worms, they did NOT tell me, they offered her no medication, and if they had used this drug on her before I told them not to touch her, she would also be dead. Neither of these two people deserve to be able to treat or even be around animals. Not to mention the fact that they kept the original certificates from Marion County Humane Society to have them fixed and they did NOT perform the surgery one either of them Last night I was informed by someone who has personal knowledge of this incident that Dr. Slava and the tech pinned Goldie between a large fence gate and a wall using the gate to push up against her little body to hold her against the wall so they could give her the shot, they also state that blood work is ALWAYS done prior to sedation and never should have been given to her since her mother Kicker had already tested positive for heart worms. Comments - or leave a good pet URL, Etc ...: We need to make these veterinarians accountable for their actions, they charge us outrageous fees and we pay them to make sure that our babies are getting the best of care, then when they do something that is grossly wrong they get a small fine and slap on the wrist, which is nothing but a slap in the face to the those of us who have lost our loved one. 18 April 05 2008 at 20:22:09 Your Name: Abbe Guillet Email: anguillet@yahoo.fr Where are you from?: Baldwinsville New York Homepage name: Your Homepage or Recommended Site URL:: http:// How Did You Find Us?: Just Surfed On It How good do you think this site is: No comments What Pet(s) do You Own?: Dog What are your pets name(s)?: Chloe and Buddy Should Vets have a fenced in area for their patients?: Yes Should pets be legally valued more than replacement cost?: YES - Replacement Cost is not enough! Does you vet have a fenced in outside area?: Yes, attached to the building. Do you fully trust your vet?: No, Not Hardly What is your worst or best vet experience?: In October 2007, Chloe's twin sister died of an abdominal cancer at 11 years old. We immediately took Chloe to our vet - who had been caring for her since we got her at 8 weeks - to have her examined. He did no tests but declared her fine and we naively believed him. Still, I was so nervous that we brought her back regularly, visits for which we have records and bills. In April, she was operated on for small, but bothersome eye cysts. In July, she became very ill on a Saturday evening and we took her to the emergency vet; an x-ray revealed that she had the same tumor as her sister. On Sunday, we placed two frantic calls to him; both were ignored. Sunday night, she died, leaving us heartbroken, even months later. We dropped off her body to his office on Monday morning to be cremated. We never heard one word from him. His negligence, making jokes about our concerns, and his silence combine to make a person who should not be taking care of those who are truly family members. Is there anything that we can do? There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of her and how we failed her.

Does you vet have a fenced in outside area?: No Do you fully trust your vet?: Yes, Most of the Time What is your worst or best vet experience?: My current vet I DO trust most of the time. However, my previous vet was a quack. Without going into detail he tried to put my dog on a medicine/food regime that my dog did not need, gave him medication that did not treat his conditions, and other vaccinations/treatments that my dog did not need. Luckily I got a second opinion and now my dog is PERFECTLY healthy, and happy. He eats normal food, and does not require any medication. I also had a cat who nearly had teeth surgery (really???) and had his paw hacked up from a routine declaw (don't judge me cuz I declawed...we tried everything else...it was a last resort). Comments - or leave a good pet URL, Etc ...: I REALLY appreciate your website. I googled "veterinary malpractice" and found your website. Because of your website I decided to take action against my previous vet. I have filed various complaints and he is currently being investigated. I feel stupid for not having researched the vet better beforehand as there are many negative comments about him on the web that I have found since. Thank you for giving me some direction on where to file my complaint. Luckily my dog wasn't killed because of the veterinarian's actions, but I can guarantee his actions have resulted in the death of some of the other hospitals' clients. I'm doing this to stop that from happening again. 20 February 27 2008 at 22:34:17 Your Name: Debby Email: SANTANA9569@msn.com Where are you from?: Pittsburgh Homepage name: In Loving Memory Of Rajah Your Homepage or Recommended Site URL:: http://www.rajah2004.com How Did You Find Us?: Just Surfed On It How good do you think this site is: Well done!!!
