I want to start by telling you the story of Cinnamon, my beloved daughter. Cinnamon was a Shi-poo, and the most loveable kind hearted (person) on the planet. She always greeted me when I came home, and no matter how terrible my day was she always made it better. Unconditional love no matter what. I was unable to help her when she needed it most, because I chose this veterinarian. I first started bringing her to this veterinarian, because they were open late and it seemed like a very nice place. I can tell you I went to one other veterinarian during this time frame, but it was just for emergencies. The other veterinarian was 1st pet in Chandler. I started going to this veterinarian, when she started having stomach problems. It took them a week to figure out the problem, which was a mass in her stomach. So we elected to have the exploratory surgery to remove the mass. She came through the surgery seemingly fine, and by ten days after the surgery she was acting like a brand new puppy dog. The eleventh day she started breathing heavily, being lethargic, and walking slightly to the side. Not that I care about money, but at this point we were about $2500.00 dollars in. I took her to this veterinarian again, to check and see what the complication was. The veterinarian insisted it had to be neurological, and completely dismissed the possibility of it being her stomach with nothing but a cursory examination of her stomach. Today was day sixteen since the surgery and four veterinarian visits since day eleven. Each time the stomach issues were completely dismissed, and I spent an additional $1500.00 dollars trying to get my baby fixed. This morning I woke up to Cinnamon convulsing trying to breathe, she had swallowed her tongue. I reached in without any thought, and pulled it back out. She started breathing again, and we drove her to 1st pet in Chandler. She was going in and out of convulsions the entire way. The doctors gave her anti-convulsion medicine, and she laid there almost lifeless. She would not respond to anything, even her name. I wanted to keep fighting for her life, but at this point there was no sustainability for life. I decided to have her euthanized, and cremated. We will keep her with us forever, but I want these people to pay for what they failed to do. They have the same Hippocratic oath as regular doctors, and failed to live up to their end of the bargain. I am so broken right now, and I don't believe it needed to be that way. I love you Cinnamini. Read Less
