Diagnostics aren’t timely enough and they don’t act in an emergency situation and the triage that was required to assess the increasing symptoms of vomiting on Tuesday to discomfort, drooling and depression 24 hours later Wednesday morning warranted far more than ANOTHER 30 hours waiting it out in their clinic on fluids. I should have been referred out for emergency diagnostics. But by the time their diagnostic capabilities showed evidence of a blockage/torsion 48 hours after first arriving at this clinic to seek help (painfully waiting for results for blood to come back from Vancouver, waiting to ship him to another vet for ultrasound in Courtenay-which should have been done Wednesday morning, if not Tuesday, NOT THURSDAY LATE MORNING), surgery was just an insult to my poor dog’s injury and he died of septic shock. In fact he was already septic at surgery, shown by the histology report after the fact. He was then left to die post op when (admitted by the vet later) he should have been euthanized hours before he finally died when I showed up and sat with him one last time for an hour, questioning why we weren’t euthanizing him. The worst traumatic experience of my life. If you feel you need diagnostics results fast, I discovered the painful and hard way, they do not have the ability and seem to be ridiculously fine with risking waiting to take action in an emergency situation.
