Beware of this called animal hospital.
Months ago, my boyfriend and I had brought 2 of our dogs to pebblebrooke animal hospital for surgery. One of our girls had a surgery to remove her bladder stones. The other had a surgery to remove the lump in her necks. The one did both surgeries was Dr. Nicholson, (the part time veterinarian who works there).
We had so much confidence on her at first, and once they were done, we picked up our girls before the clinic was closed.
Immediately, once we brought our girls home in the evening, one of them let out painful cries. We brought our girls immediately the next day to Dr. Bair, who is the regular vet there.
Dr. Bair examined and right away concluded that my girl was depressed, due to her bladder surgery. She prescribed oral medicine as antibiotic and anti pain medication. She checked my other girl, and just wrapped the wound in her neck.
The next day, we saw no improvement on both girls. The one being said as depressed still didn't want to eat, and had difficulty with urinating etc. The other one, despite being wrapped in bandage, we could see the fluid in her neck wound. My boyfriend worked in long hour, and being naive as we were, we still believed to bring our girls there.
Dr Nicholson or Dr Bair, also prescribed oral medicine to make my girl eat, and she still didn't want to eat at all. We took our girls again there, Dr. Bair checked on my girl and said there was nothing wrong with her, although we told Dr Bair that she had heavy breathing and had been acting weird, moved and acted very slow.
Dr. Bair just injected her with medicine to gain her appetite, and she stapled my other girl's wound.
Still there was no improvement on my girl. At night, we decided to bring her to other veterinarian the next day. But, very early in the morning, suddenly my girl scream in pain, and she stopped breathing. My boyfriend performed CPR on her, but couldn't get her back to life.
We were devastated, especially after being told by Dr. Nicholson who was performed autopsy on our girl, that she died because there was leak on her bladder, and she indirectly admitted that they didn't place urinary catheter,yet we got billed for that.
We lost our girl, and no one said sorry for our lost, except one vet technician, who is happened to know us. We really think that they didn't do right on the surgery, thus there was leak, in addition to the conclusion and treatment given by their vets.
Dr. Bair even bravely suggested to do another surgery on my other girl, because she thought that they needed to sew her wound again! It will never happened again, as we brought our other girl to other veterinarian. The new clinic drained the fluid in my girl's neck and treated the wound. There was no additional surgery needed, as suggested by Dr. Bair. Now the wound in her neck is healed. Thanks God.
Every one has different opinion, but like two of the reviewers, i suggest you do some research on this veterinarian clinic. Read more reviews about them, and even one or two negative reviews might make us make different decision, and we would still have our beloved girl with us. Read Less
