I brought my miniature yorkie here when I got him at 6 weeeks old, and I love it! They were great with him, and they were the only vet I would bring him to! But then they moved, and got bigger, and things changed! I then got a female miniature yorkie, she was around 3 years old, I took her in to get her yearly shots, all went well at 1st! Then, one night she was having trouble breathing, I called n, it was late, I told the answering service what was going on, it sounded like she had swolled a squeaker from her toy, but they told me I had to go to Lafayette animal hospital! Well at this point, it was around 10-11pm, my kids were sleeping, it was a school night, and my husband was offshore so I couldn't go to Lafayette, which is 45 minutes from my house, so I stayed up all night with her to make sure she was basically still alive! I went n 1st thing n the am, and he tells me, " good thing u came n cause her esophagus had collapsed, that's y she couldn't breathe! Well, he told me what I could do to try and "fix it" at home, instead of paying thousands of dollars on a experimental way that wasn't gaurnteed to work! Well, thank god it worked!! But then, she was acting funny one Sunday, and I called, and the answering service took my message, and told me she would call me back!! This was around noon, well, the response was to go to Lafayette, again! At this point I figured out she was having a seizure, so called a few times, to see if he would at least call me so I can explain to him what she was doing and what I could do to help her, but no, every time I called, their response was, he couldn't call me, just go to Lafayette!! Well, needless to say, on my 45 min of driving there, she went brain dead, from her seizure lasting too long!! So if u have an emergency, don't bother calling, just go to Lafayette, and be prepared to spend A LOT of money their! I was there for 20 minutes and I already had a bill of almost $500! Read Less
