EMERGENCY VET ON CALL PATRICK CONDRON (ABACUS VET)
Templeougue Road , Terenure. Dublin 6
WARNING:- definitely>>>>>>>> DO NOT USE THIS VET FOR YOU PET!!!!
I called this vet to our house on Sat June 1st as our greatly loved Retriever Cross of 15yrs was particularly ill and, as a family we reluctantly agreed it was time to say goodbye to him.
Having had pets in our family for 46 yrs, we never encountered a vet with such a rude and uncaring manner.
Arriving 30mins early, knocked us a bit with our final preparations. On arriving he was specifically asked by my wife if our pet would feel any discomfort.
Patrick assured us he would not at all! His manner was matter of fact and ice cold , with no concern for how difficult this was for us, our feelings or how emotional we all felt. It was a matter of (lets get this over asap), with no empathy whatsoever.
I stayed and requested my family to leave to avoid their upset. Giving the first injection to calm/ relax our beautiful pet , he then proceeded to give the second injection.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WILL SHOCK YOU JUST AS MUCH AS IT DID ME!!!
Holding my pets paw whilst this Vet tried to get a vein, I was instructed to position my hand in such a position to raise the vein. He was most displeased that I couldn’t get it right!
As if this wasn’t bad enough, this so called vet…. DECIDES TO ANSWER HIS MOBILE PHONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS PROCEEDURE) … ABSOLUTLY OUTRAGOUS BEHAVIOUR! Then after 5-6 unsuccessful attempts we switched to the other paw!
We began the same format all over again , me being chastised for not getting it right (He’s supposed be the Vet not me!) I would have thought a rubber band on the paw was the answer). After yet again several more unsuccessful attempts, I ask to ensure our Pet is sedated properly and suggest he change the needle ….. once AGAIN HE PROCEEDS TO ANSWER HIS MOBILE (he declines on my request) what sort of person would even consider this action!
After further unsuccessful attempts to administer in the heart, he reverts back to his paw , where finally after several attempts manages to give the injection. Why would a qualified Vet have such difficulty and act in this manner . My advice is, do not chose this person if you need a Vet. I will also be filing a report with the Veterinary Council of Ireland on the matter. Read Less
