Four years ago my dog started breaking out in welts, itching and his eyes were red and inflamed. I took my dog to Best Vet and I was told it was most likely allergies. In Austin it makes sense, he was given a shot and I was told to try Zyrtec. He never got better, I must have visited the doctor every 3 months with the same treatment. This went on for years, I had tried other vets to get answers but they all said the same its allergies. So I would go back to Best Vet thinking its allergies and with the prices they have if I had to treat him for allergies I would try to be cost effective. I would ask about maybe going to a specialist and I was told that they wouldnt be able to do much other than find out what he was allergic to.
Finally after getting my dog shots, changing his diet, cooking for my dog, trying every voodoo allergy method I could find online I looked at my dog he had bald spots, he was itchy, he was wearing a cone when I was out of the house, he was wearing sweaters to not scratch, he was unhappy. I couldnt let him suffer anymore and I need answers. I looked up a dermatologist in the area and contacted them, they told me I needed a referral. I knew Best Vet wouldnt give me one seeing as how I had asked about a dermatologist multiple times and they said no. So I went to a vet a friend recommended. The vet reviewed his past records, I kept my receipts, and gave me the referral. That day I made an appointment.They did a blood test and it turns out my dog has eczema, the vet gave me the pill to treat him and his quality of life has changed 100%. Years of watching my dog suffer and spending money on shots that never worked all because my vet was so sure that it was allergies.
Fast forward to 3 weeks ago. My dog got an ear infection I asked my husband to set up an appointment with the vet, he set it up with Best Vet, I though fine its just an ear infection that cant be hard to treat they said he had a viral infection and gave us pills. He took them for 2 weeks and once they were done his ear was no better. He needed to see his dermatologist any way so I waited a week and saw them. They took a sample and said it was a bacterial infection and gave us drops. He has been on the drops for a few days now and he is much better.
Im angry. I tried to do what was best for my dog. I had gone to multiple doctors and I trusted Best Vet, but I will never come close to that office again.
