Do not go here.
[Sorry this is long but probably worth the read if you are considering going here]
I took my dog in a few weeks ago because he was acting completely not himself, wasn't eating, had episodes where he was non-responsive, and was listless. The vet did a physical exam and did blood work, then told me he was completely fine (except for known issues of arthritis and cataracts) and that nothing new was wrong with him. Okay? You're the vet, I guess I should trust you.
My dog continues to deteriorate. Going off what I was told, that he was fine, I decided to try refilling his carprofen to see if that helps. Also, just because I am curious I get a copy of his labs while I am there so that I can look them over. There are three markers that are out of range, and it seems pretty apparent to me that at least his platelet count was significantly out of range. Also simply looking at my dog it seems fairly obvious that his eye has a hyphema, not cataracts. I remind myself that I am only a laymen with the internet, so I should not over react.
My dog continues to deteriorate, getting to the point where he is having difficulties even walking, bumping into things, continues to not eat, and then starts going under the house like he is trying to find a place to die. Decide enough is enough and take him into another vet. Turns out he has a brain tumor. Turns out he has a completely obvious hyphema and that his labs were NOT normal.
I am not sure if there is anything that could have been done if they got the right diagnosis. But, come on! How could you miss such obvious symptoms? If my doctor did this I would be questioning his medical degree.
Do yourself and your pet a favor, and go to Eagle Animal Clinic instead. They are the ones that got it right. Read Less
