As we continue to try to resolve the issue with a certain pet hospital, I wondered, am I the only one who feels this way? Please, anyone, write and tell me your experience with emgerency pet hospitals! I want to believe they are not all like what I have experienced.
Even as humans, we are treated we some shred of respect, even the knowledge from care providers, it is just this, an emergency. Emergency is something deemed, urgent, unexpected, something not foreseen. This is why, hospitals work with us. It is a bill we didn’t expect to incur. They don’t say, “if you can’t pay, we won’t render the service, do or die.”
We were told for our pet, “I don’t know what to tell you, we will put her down for the $30.00 you have on you.” My choice wasn’t to have her worked on, which even after $700.00, they couldn’t say what was wrong. Seriously, all I got was a shrug and nothing. A blood test, x-ray and oxygen. Oh….and a pepcid, antibotic and gas pill. Please someone help me here. Let me know, I am not the only person who has been taken advantage of because I brought in a pet that couldn’t tell them what was wrong and where it hurt. I got nothing. If you had a bad experience, please let me know. I am sinking here.

I really don’t know what to do. I have written before about the hell we went through with our pet. Yes, she almost died, twice. From what? Bad dog food, I purchased and fed her. So, after exstensive pet bills, I started feeding her, rice and chicken with peas(she loves peas). She seems to be having a little upset stomach after a month of this.
I know I am not the only person who went through this. After being jacked over by two different vets, which were both from the same place, I don’t know where to turn. What do others feed their pet that may have gone through the pet food recall.
I don’t know if anyone is aware that there was a pet food recall from Mars in November, 2008. I don’t want to lose her, but I need help.
Please send me whatever recipes you have that works for your dog. Mine is an Austrailian Shepherd, 7 years old.
I would rather have people here help me with this, as I don’t trust vets. Thanks.
