We took our Blue Heeler and he did such a sloppy job sewing her up he stiches came apart and she was was told by Dr.Roger Ward saved her life by re stitching her and we thought we were going to lose her.Dr.Ward saved her life by caring and 30 yrs.plus years.
I took a Whippet to this clinic to have a lump on his back removed and asked the doctor what kind of anesthesia would the dog get because whippets, like all sighthounds, have very little fat to distribute the barbiturate throughout their system and it is a known fact that their organs may be damaged or not survive the surgery if the lack of fat is not taken into consideration. I was concerned that the doctor did not seem to understand the sighthound pecularity to anesthesia. He insisted that anesthesia is delivered by weight of the animal. Sure. But he was not listening to me and to what I was saying. On the day of the surgery I brought an article into the clinic to explain what I was talking about and ask for a local anesthesia instead, after all it was not a big deal. When I talked to doctor again, he asked me how many whippets I had lost to anesthesia. None, because I was aware of this problem since whippet number 1 out of 12 to date. I was then told that he could not help me and declined to perform the service that I had paid some money for already. To be fair, they did good work on our Beagle prior to this event but if the doctor is not willing to cooperate and listen to his patients' owners, after all they can't speak for themselves, then it's not worth it to go there. Better go somewhere else, which is what we are doing all four of our dogs!
