If you want your pet to be put to death by an unprofessional, insensitive, condescending, uneducated, incompetent quack, then, by all means, go see "Dr." Michael Mordaunt.While walking my dog, my gf notices that he has lost the ability to walk. She rushes over to Town & Country Animal Hospital. During the visit, it is revealed that my dog also has a 106° fever. He is put on IV & kept overnight. We called for updates & were told that my dog's fever had dissipated. I call to make sure that we can pick him up the next morning. The tech immediately tells me that my dog has been moaning nonstop. We rush over. He was brought into the room & was still moaning uncontrollably. It seemed like he was in pain. It was heartbreaking. Anyway, in comes "Dr." Mordaunt. The first words out of his mouth are, "Well, we have to talk about putting him to sleep". First of all, even if this were in any way the case, what kind of a jackass just comes in & nonchalantly says that? My gf (who is a doctor, by the way), immediately questions him & asks, "Why?" Mordaunt then says, "He is in the end stages of his life. He's dying." My gf, very intelligently & logically (two traits that Mordaunt does not possess) states, "His bloodwork doesn't show anything. What is the problem that he is having?" She also asks what the blood culture showed (she was under the impression that a blood culture was also done. It had not been). "Dr." Mordaunt then, very condescendingly, asks her (knowing full well that she is an actual doctor), "You do know the difference between regular bloodwork & a blood culture, right?" Again, my dog is seemingly dying in front of this petty piece of garbage & he has the audacity to try to talk down to his owner in the midst of all this? The level of unprofessionalism, & apparent jealousy, displayed by this clown was shocking. Anyway, we continue. Mordaunt then says "Your dog is dying. You need to accept it." My girlfriend then says, "You still haven't told me what my dog is dying of. The bloodwork doesn't reveal anything. You haven't done any xrays. So, how on earth can you say that my dog is dying? Dying from what?" Again, completely logical and rational. His answer? "I've been doing this for 40 years." What the hell does that mean? How does that answer any of these questions? It's really sad that you've been doing this for 40 years and you are willing to put a poor little dog to sleep without having any evidence whatsoever that he is dying. All because he is moaning. Wouldn't a real dr try to find out the cause of his pain? Wouldn't a real dr do an xray, something, anything, to try to find out what is causing this, not just say "Hey, he's old. Let's kill him"? Oh, & we're still not done with this pile of excrement. Mordaunt then callously says, "Well, I have other patients waiting. What are you going to do?" Yes, my friends, this pathetic excuse for a "vet" asked us to accelerate our decision on our dog's fate because it was taking up too much of his precious time. "Dr." Mordaunt is a scumbag. Plain and simple. If anyone needs to be put to sleep, it is this old, decrepit, senile, bag of bones. During a 2nd opinion, Dr. Michael Wong vehemently disagreed with "Dr." Mordaunt. He ordered an MRI which showed my dog only had a slipped disc in his neck. He found NOTHING terminal and said that the moaning was not because of pain. Which was completely correct, as my dog has stopped doing it since he's been home. It's been 10 days since Mordaunt wanted to execute my dog, by the way, and he's perfectly fine. So, in conclusion, this scumbag was going to execute my dog for the simple fact that he was moaning, never bothering to figure out the root cause. Think about it, how many other pets has this "doctor" doomed to premature deaths because of his utter incompetence? How he ever received a degree is beyond me. Dr. Wong saved my dog's life. My girlfriend's decision to ignore "Dr." Mordaunt's uneducated opinion saved my dog's life. Maybe if you wouldn't have graduated from that Philippines Community College, you wouldn't have been completely outclassed by a newly graduated medical student, huh, Mordaunt? So much for that totally unjustified arrogance & those 40 years of experience, huh, buddy? The only way I'd ever take my dog back to T&C Animal Hosp. would be for him to take a huge steaming dump on Mordaunt's desk. Every day that my dog lives is a big FU in Mordaunt's face Read Less
