Bringing my animals to this animal hospital was the worst decision of my life. I brought my cat in for a basic spay and declaw procedure that was very much mishandled. I had brought her in for her surgery, not only but a few hours later i receive a phone call saying that there had been an "anesthetic error", but that she would be fine they were just unable to proceed with the surgery. Dr. Couvelaire and her veterinary staff had 'forgotten' the oxygen when administering her anesthetic, which caused her skin to bubble. When I arrived to see her, she was not functional, or responsive in any way. Dr. Couvelaire acted very loose about the matter, and suggested that I take her to MSU during a hailstorm for further care, because she could not give her the care she needed at that point. When I demanded she drive her to MSU because I felt as if it were her responsibility, she abided. Upon arriving to MSU I never received a phone call of her whereabouts, or anything in regards to the situation. I had to research for myself and make several phone calls to get through to the vet that was responsible for my cat. finally, I discover because of all the pressure that had been forced unnaturally throughout her body, she had went blind, Luckily, after arriving home this was just temporary. Dr. Couvelaire and her entire stafff are very careless, negligent and undeserving of their titles. I would never recommend anyone take any of their beloved pets to this clinic, if you cannot even trust them to do a simple spay & declaw, which should be like breathing to any professional in this field. I was extremely disappointed, and If i wasn't able to convince her into paying for everything involving this incident, and the follow up spay & declaw by another vet then I would have sued her into the next century.Read Less
