We took our 10-year-old toy fox terrier there for a spleen operation in the morning. At two o'clock we were told everything went "fine". When we picked him up they gave him to us in a comatose state and said that he was just "tired".
These "vets" said he had probably had a stroke or a blood clot. So everything had NOT gone "fine".
You NEED to have blood levels checked for phenobarb because toxicity is really common with the drug. It happens very quickly and you need to make sure the dog's body is metabolizing it properly. It would be negligent for a veterinarian to prescribe the medication without current labs. This shows that they are excellent vets and aren't willing to let clients bully them into doing something that isn't in the pet's best interest. If you can't afford the vet, you can't afford the pet. A difficult decision should be made if you can't afford to treat a pet's chronic medical condition: do you euthanize or do you find rescue placement. Treating the condition haphazardly is worse than quickly and painlessly ending the animal's life.
If you want this horror story to happen to your pet, we highly recommend Clayton Veterinarian Associates.
When we got home and placed him on the couch to rest, he gave out a few breaths. We took him to emergency and there he was declared dead.
I have never had a negative issue with anyone at Clayton. I have been to several vets in South Jersey, and thus far, they have been the best and most consistent. I am not sure why someone was complaining about their service as I have never had anyone treat me negatively there. I have three cats and go there frequently. I have called for questions and services and was never given the runaround.
