Extremely displeased with the service today. About 8 months ago Oak Hill Animal Hospital treated one of our cats, Onyx. Where he was diagnosed with diabetes. After a round or two of expensive tests, this vet recommended diet change to MD food and 2 Units (U-40 syringe of ProZinc Insulin) twice daily (12 hrs apart). After 2 weeks at this dosage and high-protien food, Onyx had a diabetic seizure on a weekend and was taken to All-Pet clinic, where he was successfully treated (at great expense) and returned home the following day. Just so happened one of the Oak Hill Vet assistants was covering All-Pet that night, so she remembered Onyx. The whole diabetes episode cost over $1,000, and left us uncomfortable giving Onyx insulin. Prior to the insulin/MD combo he had very mild diabetic symptoms, after the insulin/MD combo he nearly died. So we kept him on the MD food, but stopped insulin altogether. We also found a less-expensive (half-price) and more 'common-sense' vet for services/food/etc. - enter Ft. Branch Animal Hospital. But without the insulin, Onyx deteriorated over 7 months. So I decided to begin the insulin again at half the original dose, and strict MD diet. Last week, we ran out of the U-40 syringes. Seems Ft. Branch Animal Hospital and every other vet we called uses regular human insulin/syringes not cat ProZinc/U-40, so back to Oak Hill with a prescription for the U-40 syringes for Onyx (who has now been without insulin for over a week). But guess what - they won't sell them to non-clients. So here's my take... Oak Hill Animal Hospital is OVER-PRICED, HAS NO GENUINE INTEREST IN YOUR ANIMALS HEALTH, and LACKS COMMON SENSE. I hope to never return there and will do everything in my power to encourage others to stay away also. End rant.
Dr. Hanson and her staff are the best. They take excellent care of out two Airedale terriers and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. Doug
