I just want everyone to be aware of the "quality" service Breaux & his staff are preforming these days.
Now I've used Dr. Breaux for years for checkups & shots, with no problems other than the grumpy attitudes you get from everyone there. I thought he was good at what he does. Up until an emergency situation this week. & I WILL NOT BE RETURNING.
We have a munchkin cat, named Cat. That has been in our family since his birth, for over 6 years now.
Cat woke my mom up early Monday morning, screaming & couldn't stand up.
I understand things happen, I really do. My mom took him to Dr. Breaux first thing Monday. Dr. Breaux had Cat for 3 days, 2 nights. He did x-rays on his spine & legs. Said he gave Cat pain meds & fluids through IV (mind you there are no spots shaved where they would have administered an IV, & also, no x-rays of his head/brain). Told us he had brain damage, we should take him home & see what happens but we would probably have to put him down. HE DID NO OTHER TESTS. NO head x-rays, didn't Check his ears, nothing to give us detailed answers. Charged my mom $200 for it all. He was VERY persistent on us having to put him down.
He used to live with my mom. So to make it less stressful for him, he came stay with us Wednesday night. He was walking (just kept leaning/ falling on his right side), talking, eating, drinking, purring CONSTANTLY, & even hissing/swatting at my dog. Other than his walk, EVERYTHING was normal. I automatically know, there is no way this is brain damage, so I made an appt with Animal Care of Gonzales for Thursday morning.
So Thursday morning we go in, Dr. Rob does an ear swab & knows right away its an infection. Keeps him for the day to watch him. I pick him up, 4 medicines( for inflammation, infection, ear flush, and ear drops) more x-rays(got some of his head, which Breaux did not but still insisted it was brain damage), and $240 more later. WE are home & he is already walking almost normal for the most part. He will be FINE.
This makes me sick!!! Had I not followed my gut instinct, or even worse, not been home to take him for a second opinion. He would have been put down for an EAR INFECTION!!
I'M NOT SORRY, BUT BREAUX SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS. HE WILL NOT GET ANYMORE OF MY MONEY. Read Less
