    I can't comprehend how anyone would recommend this care to anyone. If they do they're foolish. This location really dropped the ball and crown point isn't much better. My husband found a 1 1/2 month old kitten by a garbage can while working (he's a garbage man). The kitten was crying for help and only had a little pus in his eyes. I immediately came, took the kitten from him and brought the kitten to this location on my way home. After an examination they said he had low blood pressure but looked fine and just needed a little TLC. While we were there they dewormed him just incase (without having results from a stool sample yet) and they injected him with antibiotics to kill an upper respiratory infection just incase and put antibiotics on his eyes. Before coming to coyne (st John) the kitten was able to walk and hold its head up. He was tired but coherent. He even took down a whole can of food in the car before we arrived. By the time I made it to my house after visiting coyne the kitten could no longer hold its head up or move. Can someone tell me why they didn't immediately put an iv in this poor kitten to stabilize before all this treatment was done especially the treatment for worms?? Or warm him up? This kind of incompetence can put the kitten's body in shock and lower the blood pressure more. Especially on a kitten with an already compromised immune system. Seriously, what do you think this treatment did to the poor baby who by the way, was already weakened from the heat and lack of water/ food for god knows how long?! When I got home (12minute drive from coyne St. John) I wasn't at my house long before rushing to coyne in crown point which was 5 minutes away due to the kitten's new behavior. There they put the iv and it was too late. His blood pressure was even lower and even though it wasn't getting higher to their liking it did get a little higher. 25 to 42 if I remember correctly. So after 10-15 minutes of being on the iv they strongly suggested putting the kitten down bc it was very rare he would survive this. Or i was told it could cost 1000s of it needing iv care and they were not equipped to handle that since no staff stays over night. I don't understand why he couldn't have been on the iv for possibly an hour or two just to be sure. They're so quick to put down. Not only did I pay close to 300 dollars at st John for the first visit, I then had to pay for the injection to put this poor baby down which was another 130. And he got sent home with me in a body bag. It was that or get him cremated for another couple hundred. I will admit after showing my frustration to the tech on this matter the Dr did then come into the room and explain how she waved 500 dollars for the iv and medication that tried to save his life (which I appreciated). However, I feel their concern was who's paying for the pet. They're worried about how much time a kitten would be on a iv and the cost. When a human is dehydrated and needs an iv do they give us one for 12 minutes and they say oh sorry it's not looking good, we need to take you off?! Make it make sense. This kitten was outside for who knows how long!!! People, listen I strongly suggest taking your pet else where. It's not worth it. My husband and tried our best to do the right thing. I can't help but feel if I took this baby somewhere else he might still be alive today. Coyne was careless, they didn't give him a fighting chance. St. John definitely in my opinion made a poor judgement on treatment. Was the cat sick...of course. But did the line of action hurt or help the kitten? I definitely think hurt. Stabilizing him should have been the very first line of defense. But no..he was stray and maybe in their mind that would have cost money. Then after a iv should they should have SLOWLY treated him for all other concerns such as worms. Or maybe a later day after he was rehydrated and nourished. All this medication was too much for his compromised little body. Find your self a vet who shows more compassion. Find your self a vet who has critical thinking skills. Find your self a vet who doesn't pump you with a bunch of crap and sends you on your way. Find a private vet that's not afraid to break the rules to do what's right. Find your self one of them YouTubers that finds animals on the side of the road left for dead and somehow nourishes them back to life after delicate care...you will be better off. Don't disregard the bad reviews for a few good ones like I did. It might cost you the life of your pet. It's too late for this kitten but not for yours. Rest in peace little baby, God knows I tried.

    First Xray

    Coyne's negligence cost us $1,000+ and almost our dogs life. Take your animals literally ANYWHERE else. On a Wednesday morning our dog became violently sick. Vomiting 20+ times a day and refusing to eat. Thursday he became sicker, vomiting, not eating, extremely lethargic. We decided to take him to Coyne and they told us to wait it out, it was probably just a bug. They gave him some anti-nausea and appetite stimulant. Friday night comes around and he is showing zero signs of improvement. He is more lethargic and now has violent diarrhea. We deicide we'll take him in first thing Saturday morning. We go in and Dr. Jasik orders an X-ray immediately. At this point he is concerned about him having a blockage.. X-ray comes back and Jasik says it's PERFECT. Nothing to worry about. He then orders a full blood test/ panel and a pancreatitis test. Again, everything comes back "perfect". He gives our dog fluids, anti-nausea/ anti-diarrhea, more food stimulant and a round of antibiotics. Saturday cost us $1,000. I question what we should do since everything came back normal and clearly something is wrong. He tells us we just need to wait it out.. its probably a food borne illness or could be parasitic. But we just need to wait it out.. bring a stool sample in if he can produce one suitable. Monday I am able to collect a tiny stool sample, so I drop that off. At this point his health is still declining. He is more and more lethargic, vomiting liver bile, and STILL hasn't ate since Wednesday. Tuesday the parasitic screening comes back negative for anything. Wednesday comes around and our dog cannot continue to wait this out any longer. It has been 7 days since he's eaten, he is vomiting liver bile regularly, he does nothing but sleep, he is shaking and won't produce a bowel movement. I bring him back to Coyne, Dr. Cuddihy takes an X-ray and immediately schedules an emergency surgery because he has a blockage! I'm shocked and ask how was this missed in the first X-ray... my question is dismissed. He immediately got the surgery and I decided I would confront them about the negligence once our dog is recovered, as his health is obviously the most pressing matter. After all is said and done, I come back in and ask to speak to a manger. I inform her of the situation and she says she'll bring in Cuddihy for me to speak with. We paid for a full blood test/panel, pancreatic test, parasite screening, antibiotics, anti-nausea/ diarrhea AFTER an X-ray was taken that clearly showed a blockage in our dogs stomach. Because of the negligence on behalf of Dr Jasik, when we brought him in that Saturday, they should have taken that X-ray and scheduled a surgery right then and there. Instead, our dog was forced to suffer, we had to pay for unnecessary test/ meds and had we listened to Jasik and "waited it out" our dog would have died. I showed the initial X-ray's to two separate vet techs from different practices AND an instructor from Purdue University and even they were able to spot the blockage in the initial X-ray. Coyne completely failed to take any responsibility for their negligence and nearly cost us our dogs life. They had a million excuses for why it was missed. Claimed it could've been food, except he hadn't eaten in 4 DAYS and was continuously vomiting. Claimed it wasn't shown in the aerial view, they never even took an aerial X-ray the second time right before the surgery. Too bad we were the ones who had to financially foot that mistake and Coyne has zero remorse for us or our dog. I've always gone to Coyne, as has my family. I will never step foot in that practice again, I suggest you don't either.

    Words and gratitude cannot be express in words for the care Maggie received by Coyne Veterinary. After Maggie was found we contacted them and they had a room waiting for her so she would not be further stressed. They checked her out and provided the necessary medication and we went home with a follow up a few days later when she was not so stressed. Their care, compassion and knowledge are by far the best I have ever received for a pet. They were also instrumental in getting the word out to as many other veterinarians, shelter and rescues that helped to find Maggie and bring her home. Maggie will go to no one else for Veterinary care, grooming and boarding. Maggie and I are forever grateful!!!!

We dropped off our cats at 8am, and weren't updated until 4:45pm that NEITHER of our cats' procedures were finished, despite one of them being put under anesthesia, waking up, and having the entire procedure abandoned because apparently she was being "spicy." It is already unacceptable that they had our cats for 9 hours today, didn't accomplish anything, and did not communicate any complications to us until their would-be pick up time, but we later found out that they spent the entire 9 hours in their carriers without being fed! Unprofessional, inefficient, borderline neglectful operation.

So today was the day of my appointment and I go to the address per Yelp and i find a pool store and not a vet.  So i then proceed to call the vets office multiple times and they do not answer or even have a voicemail system.  This is very frustrating so I drive back home and decide once I'm home to call one more time.  Finally, someone answers and tells me that the location i went is not the correct one. I explained what happened and asked if I could still bring in my pet for a rabies shot today.  They declined and asked for me to reschedule.  My one star is based on them #1 not updating their Yelp Address #2 not answering their phone or having a voicemail.  I dialed at least five times and had no answer #3 not sending a follow up reminder of my appointment like most places do #4 not letting me bring in my pet after explaining my situation thus showing a lack of empathy

She has helped me nurture wild CH kittens back to health when everywhere else rejected them when they showed signs of CH. They were in bad shape, one even had a botfly! She was the only Vet that actually helped these little guys I was trying to save and she barely charged anything for all the work she did on multiple visits, knowing I was just helping to get them ready for adoption. I would not judge her on her staff. As for a rabies shot, it's a law regardless of indoor or outdoor in order to register your animal. I personally have 3 snowshoes and 1 Siamese, I trust this vet over every other in the area. She isn't about the money she is about what's best for the animal. I have also waited longer- why because she has to take the K9 cop first, they are on the job and need what they need immediately. I have no issue waiting when it's someone in service!

I explained when I scheduled appointment on phone technician stated the September 27 was a Thursday, I looked back at my white board and thats what was written on it. I told technician that could be there in 5 minutes. I was told 'NO". I asked to reschedule and Four Seasons Animal Hospital made me aware that there was a $25 dollar no show fee. I once again asked If I could come now, it would only take me 5 minutes. Once aging I was told "No". Since September, 2022 I have been receiving invoices for $25. Now they have started adding fees on to the invoice. Increasing the $25 fee. I have taken 5 of my pets (past or present) to Four Seasons Animal Hospital for over the past 7 years and never been late or missed an appointment. I have been receiving there mailers that my pets annual physical is overdue. Four Seasons Animal Hospital is more concerned about a $25 dollar fee than my pets wellbeing this should be a red flag to anyone who would take there pets there for health services. Four Seasons Animal Hospital never made an attempt to resolve this issue. As an existing client that has never missed or was late a compromise could of been splitting the $25 fee. Instead they just hid behind there invoices and mailers. They probably don't care maybe think customer will continue to take there pets there because of the inconvenience of switching veterinarians. I have since taken my pet to another clinic. This veterinarian clinic is clean, has state of art equipment and are very good with my pets. And when it comes to cost for similar annual vaccines and lab test are more than 30% less expensive. I saved more than 25$ in cost during my first visit to new pet clinic. Lets all be real its not the $25 that is the reason I refuse to go back to Four Seasons Animal Hospital, its the customer service, lack of communication and the cost of services. I will admit I am sacrificing the convince of the proximity to my home but I had to weigh all factors.
