HORRIBLE!! Our pet was taken to All 4 Paws by the Scott County Animal Shelter for what we were told would be a "simple"" dental extraction. Of course this work had to be completed along with a spay before our adoption could be completed. We were told we could pick up our pet from All Four Paws once the procedures were completed. The so called "simple" dental extraction was anything but!! The veterinarian, Alexa Noble, had completely fractured our pet's jawbone. She, Alexa Noble, DID NOT mention this though when we picked our pet up from the clinic. It was an exam and x-rays by another well qualified, experienced and seasoned veterinarian who found the devastating trauma done to our pet's jawbone. She is very small, 6.5 pounds, all of her canine teeth had been removed, ripped out basically, as bone fragments were still in place, and her entire jawbone in the front of her mouth was completely gone. Not once did she admit to her mistake, not even when I called the second day to express my concern over our pet's pain, the fact she was crying and whining and in obvious horrible pain, not eating and not drinking. Her response was I may need to force her to eat or drink. Something I was not going to do. Instead we immediately sought the advice of another veterinarian. Our pet had a very very long road of recovery. One to which this day she still suffers from. Not only did she cause a permanent injury to her mouth as there is no fix for a complete fracture of a jawbone when it has been completely removed, our pet's mouth will always be disfigured, and there our things she will never be able to do because of all of her front canine teeth being ripped out along with her front jawbone. What we seen our pet go through I would NEVER EVER want to see another pet suffer the same way. It was excruciating, for our pet and for us. One thing she couldn't rip away from our pet though, was her adorable, loving and sweet personality! She has been through a long, hard road as most rescues. For someone who is suppose to be a professional, Alexa Noble, is anything but and is very negligent, uncaring, unprofessional and reckless. APPALLING!! A HIDEOUS, MONSTROUS, TORTUOUS ACT!! Read Less
