I do not reccommend bringing any of your animals here to see Dr. Ishlam or however it's spelled. Unless you're okay with a dead family member. On an early Saturday morning, our puppy was not acting right. She had vomitted 8 - 10 times within an hour, very lethargic, and we knew we had to do something. So we called the veterinary clinic and they told us they would be waiting for us to arrive. Dr. Flinn was extremely helpful and kind, and let our pup vomit to check to see the color, odor present, etc. Well she then said there could be an obstruction, and she wanted to keep our puppy for a few hours to push fluids and prevent vomiting so she wouldn't become dehydrated. EVEN THOUGH SHE THOUGHT THERE WAS AN OBSTRUCTION, SHE DIDN'T TAKE XRAYS OR BLOODWORK. First mistake. A few hours later, we picked our puppy up, but something was still wrong with her attitude. Dr. Flinn told us she would let the vet on call that night know about our puppy's possible condition and if we needed to bring her back in due to more vomitting, do not hesitate to call. Later that night, early Sunday morning, our puppy woke up, left our bed and went to be alone. We could not coax her out from underneath our bed, and she was wretching a lot. But no vomit. She was extremely lethargic, shaky, and her pupils were shaky and dilated. Something was very, very wrong. We immediately called the vet on call at Walton and Haarrmann, told her all our puppy's symptoms. All Dr. Islham(sp?) could say was, "interesting, hmm...i see." And she was very quiet for long periods of time, without any talking from myself. You could tell she was very irritated that we had woke her up at 4am. SHE TOLD US TO WAIT IT OUT and SHE would call us back LATER IN THE DAY. There was no way we could wait. We acted immediately, brought our puppy to Animal Emergency Clinic in Champaign and they rushed her in, did a few xrays and found air buildup in her intestines and a blockage. They had to perform surgery, and the vet told us that if we would have waited another hour, more air would of built up inside of our puppy and killed her. Dr. Islham called us back an hour after we had left the Emergency Clinic....four and a half hours later from the original call. She could not believe thats what was wrong with our puppy, and could sense that we were very angry and upset with her. We will never take any of our animals back here again, and neither will any of my family members. It's sad though, because I used to be an great supporter of this vet clinic and all my animals went here. Not anymore. I think Walton & Haarmann need an employee refresher. If you are looking for an incredible vet and great, helpful employee's I would reccommend Clyde's Veterinary Clinic in Mattoon, Illinois. They won't mess around, and they care about your animals if they were their own.
They are very good with dogs and they have some excellent prices on all their services. Cheapest that I have found around.
