Dr. Closs, you killed my dog with your treatment plan for her CKD. You knew she had heart murmur, and you still prescribed too much fluids for her. You should know that heart disease and kidney disease are incompatible, but you never even mentioned that to me, and I only found out that I was drowning her heart when I rushed her to the emergency vet after a month of your SubQ recommendations.
After a month of doing your treatment plan, Dr. Closs, is when I found out heart disease and kidney disease are very hard to treat together. You could've at least told me to be careful about it.
When SL Specialist Vet Clinic suggested diagnostic testing, I consulted with Dr. Closs before going through.
You then called me "cruel" for wanting to undo the damage you've done to her and "selfish" for not putting her down.
No vet should ever gaslight their patient into doing something. As a first time dog owner, putting my baby down is such a hard decision. Fortunately for me, I was able to speak to a different clinic who gave me time, empathy, and space, not using emotional manipulation to pressure me.
The tragic irony is, you are the cruel and selfish one, Dr. Closs, for recommending a treatment plan that was slowly drowning her heart, ultimately causing her to go into heart failure.
Considering I have been a loyal client for so many years, Dr. Closs is extremely mean-spirited for calling me "cruel and selfish" for wanting to save my dog, a dog with a condition he didn't treat but worsened by his carelessness towards her heart murmur.
Dr. Closs is well aware of Mei Mei's heart murmur, but either out of ignorance or just plain carelessness, he told me to administer her that much fluids.
Dr. Closs is truly Dr. Cruel.
He just wants to sell you supplements. He really is not knowledgeable.
Because of his treatment plan, my dog's body was overdosed on fluids so much that her heart had enlarged to fill her entire chest cavity. It is Dr. Closs' recommendation that I do 200-300 ml SubQ a day that killed my dog.
Upon doing research, I found out that kidney and heart disease can be treated simultaneously when caught early and treated carefully. With heart murmur and CKD, as most 100-125 mL is recommended for 11 lbs. My dog was 8 lbs, so with her heart murmur, I should've given her at most 100 mL / day.
Dr. Closs was also very unknowledgeable about medications and supplements for CKD with Heart murmur. After I asked him questions about supplements, he completely ghosted me, most likely because he is so unknowledgeable.
I am now in deep pain, mourning my baby over Christmas. After being a patient with you for so many years, I feel extremely cheated and disappointed and hurt by your lack of attention.
I just think about what could've happened if I had gone to a more empathetic, caring, and knowledgeable vet. Perhaps I'd be spending Christmas with my Mei Mei.
