Dropped my dog off for a checkup and weekend board, explained that she'd been intermittently favoring a hind leg after activity, gave permission for her to play with other dogs. Picked her up Monday morning to discover bite marks on her face and neck from, I assume, rough play, and she now has multiple ACL issues. Her ACL injuries were, I'm told by the doctor, diagnosed the day I dropped her off. Why was she allowed to roughhouse with other dogs all weekend? Supposedly because I okayed it when I dropped her off, according to the doctor, who possessed knowledge that I did not have at drop off. Had I known my dog had blown out one ACL and possibly torn another, I never would have given permission for her to play with others. Her leg injury (injuries) left her vulnerable to physical attack by other dogs, evidenced by the scabs on her face and neck. The doctor should have known better. Poor judgement on her part, possibly negligence. Information regarding my dog's condition was withheld at pickup - the vet tech explaining to me that my dog had an injury but the severity was greatly downplayed. I was told the doctor would call me that same day. She didn't. She called my husband the next day, telling him that the dog would require insanely expensive surgery and physical therapy. Bad, horrible, traumatic. Zero stars. Read Less
