Was due in yesterday for blood tests as we suspected cushings disease on my 16 year old dog but made an earlier appointment for Tuesday as my dog was being sick and was having bloody diareah, he’d not eaten for 48 hours and hadn’t drank for over 24 hours. The vet didn’t see bothered about this and just offered him an injection for pain relief and did his bloods £380 later then sent us on our way. Next day we called twice as we was concerned for our dog, finally got a call from the vet at 4pm, said his bloods were pointing to cushings but wanted us to have another £260 test to confirm, that wasn’t my concern as I’d explained he’d still not drank and was still being sick and had bloody diareah, so just invited us down for an anti sickness injection (more money) the nurse who gave him this injection explained everything and gave us a bottle of fluid that was an electrolyte hydrating drink for him. He couldn’t drink himself I ended up having to shringe fluid into his mouth. He got that weak he could barely stand, was so lethargic, his eyes were sunken and his mouth was so dry.
We ended up making the difficult decision of having him put to sleep at home where he was comfortable and calm, instead of letting it get to serious where his organs start shutting down. I’d have hated to fetch him to pet vet dalton to spend his last moments, there’s absolutely no care here!! Just money money money..
I’ve also just logged on to my account to look at my dogs history and notice they’ve already wiped my dogs profile completely, not a single trace of him it’s not even beenn24 hours!! No email or call to say is this ok to do so, no I’m sorry for your loss. No sympathy at all!! Now as a family we’re left absolutely heartbroken as you failed to help him when he needed it most!!! £530 in 2 days for absolute no help what so ever!!
