I took many pets to Healthy Pets of Lewis Center over the years. When I first met Dr Buck, I really liked him. When he met my little Philip, he was so nice and seemed very concerned for his well being. However, that seemed to change. I didnt know why until I took my dog to a different vet and asked for his records. There were several comments in his chart about ME. I found some of the remarks shocking. Im 72 yrs old and have had dogs my entire life. I remember how they used to get rabies shots, an occasional bath with the garden hose and every now and then a good scrub with a flea shampoo, and how they ran freely though our woods, always returning for dinner. Apparently when I voiced my opinions about so many treatments, vaccines, foods, and supplements being unnecessary it wasnt appreciated. I chose to only give rabies vaccinations. and cooked for all my dogs whom lived happy healthy long lives. Until Philip. The sweetest little Coton de Tulear you could imagine. He was my shadow for 6 and a half years. He suffered so much for so many years, with chronic, uncontrollable diarrhea. No one could figure out what was wrong with him. One Vet at Healthy Pets of Lewis Center said his problem was he ate too many cicadas, which blocked his bowels. He was put on steroids over and over, getting the same results, nothing. Finally, when he collapsed last week I rushed him to MEDVETS, where after considering the options, I so very sadly had him euthanized. Not before I was told that there was a treatment that could have fixed his bowels by inserting a balloon into his colon and stretching it. A balloon. Not vaccinations, not expensive diets he wouldnt eat, not cicadas, Not heart worm or the flu or even rabies. Six and a half years of suffering, thousands of dollars spent on medications, special order diets, not to mention replacing my floors twice because he couldnt control his bowels and now grieving his loss because they didnt like me? Ive lost other dogs over the years, because of old age and cancer and as painful as that was I could accept it, but to allow this sweet little dog to go through six and a half years of agony because you dont like me is irreprehensible.
