Extremely displeased with the service today. About 8 months ago Oak Hill Animal Hospital treated one of our cats, Onyx. Where he was diagnosed with diabetes. After a round or two of expensive tests, this vet recommended diet change to MD food and 2 Units (U-40 syringe of ProZinc Insulin) twice daily (12 hrs apart). After 2 weeks at this dosage and high-protien food, Onyx had a diabetic seizure on a weekend and was taken to All-Pet clinic, where he was successfully treated (at great expense) and returned home the following day. Just so happened one of the Oak Hill Vet assistants was covering All-Pet that night, so she remembered Onyx. The whole diabetes episode cost over $1,000, and left us uncomfortable giving Onyx insulin. Prior to the insulin/MD combo he had very mild diabetic symptoms, after the insulin/MD combo he nearly died. So we kept him on the MD food, but stopped insulin altogether. We also found a less-expensive (half-price) and more 'common-sense' vet for services/food/etc. - enter Ft. Branch Animal Hospital. But without the insulin, Onyx deteriorated over 7 months. So I decided to begin the insulin again at half the original dose, and strict MD diet. Last week, we ran out of the U-40 syringes. Seems Ft. Branch Animal Hospital and every other vet we called uses regular human insulin/syringes not cat ProZinc/U-40, so back to Oak Hill with a prescription for the U-40 syringes for Onyx (who has now been without insulin for over a week). But guess what - they won't sell them to non-clients. So here's my take... Oak Hill Animal Hospital is OVER-PRICED, HAS NO GENUINE INTEREST IN YOUR ANIMALS HEALTH, and LACKS COMMON SENSE. I hope to never return there and will do everything in my power to encourage others to stay away also. Read Less
