I took my dog to the clinic on 1/1/11. My dog's stomach was bloated and she was bleeding; An xray was taken and I was told my dog had a twisted stomach and sugery needed to be performed asap and 99.9% my dog would not survive and if she did the condition would reoccur. He told me an IV was put in my dog(without my permission) for surgery or to put her down. While I was crying and trying to make a decision, I over heard one of the SENSITIVE doggie staff say,""KIA'S GONNA DIE, ""KIA'S GONNA DIE.... before I could reach my cell phone to record this crap it stop. I confronted the staff at the front desk and was told, ""they weren't talking about your dog but about someone else. DUH I was the only person with a dog in the clinic at the time. I took my dog home because the incredibly smart doggie doc told me my dog is gonna die. Well my dog is fine the bloating went away on it's own and my vet said it was a bladder infection. Take from my experience what you will - I will never take my dog to pet emergency again.
