Worst Animal Emergency and it doesn't seem to matter about animals health, they care more about money! 3/27/2008

When I got home from work I had noticed my new puppy was bleeding from the neck and I took him straight to the 24 hour vet emergency that seems to be the only one there is. When I got him in after waiting outside ringing the door bell.They found the previous owner put a rubberband around his neck The vet came in and pulled on it also and when he left, he made the rubberband worse and left it around his neck and now tight on his ear.I only saw the vet that 1 time.The bill was very expensive and they had to have the money UPFRONT right then or they said there was nothing they could do to help my poor puppy in so much pain the rubberband had cut and embedded into his neck and throat and his ear.They would not help him without the full amount of money right then.I was not going to let my puppy die and they didn't seem to care they said the other option is to just take him back home and he would die.I asked why is it that if this was my son or myself the hospital would mail me a bill and fix the problem ASAP because its an animal his life is less and because I don't have all of this money right now.They told me well we have to get paid for our services.They didn't care at all!I spent all of my check so he wouldn't die.They wouldn't take half for the next 2 weeks my son and I suffered financially.They do NOT value an animals like to the fullest.I would not recommend going to this Vet clinic unless its VERY URGENT!They're very expensive and VERY unfriendly and you wait forever and you can't stay with your pet while the surgery.I was very concerned about whether the vet really knew what he was talking about!Luckily my puppy is doing much better!But I am still to this day very upset with the situation and how poorly they handled it! I think it is very sad they are supposed to be vets and care so much about animals and saving them and helping them but yet MONEY is more important to them and they HAVE to have it right then and there or they will NOT HELP AT ALL! Pros: Open 24 Hours Cons: To Expensive, they have to have the money upfront, very unfriendly, the wait is very LONG more
