The staff handled everything with such care and compassion and very competitive price . Just this week I had to take my 14 year old little Chaweenie in on emergency and I really thought I was about to lose her too ... But they handled her issue with such care and accuracy that she's home and so far doing great ! Also super competitive priced on her care too ( I guarantee from experience, if I would have had to drive her down to Loomis basin I would have paid at least 3 times what I did and without the care and compassion )

I know this is a late review but I have been thinking about this for quite sometime now, 3 years to…read morebe exact and I feel like this needs to be addressed. In January of 2023 I took my cocker spaniel to motherlode veterinary for surgery to get a cancerous tumor removed. After the surgery I took her in to make sure everything was healing properly and the vet said yes everything looks fine. Several weeks later after the scar was more healed I noticed there was still a part of what looked like the tumor left. I then took her in again they tested it and said it was benign. I really did not think this was this case but I just wanted to believe so badly that she was cured and everything was fine. Several more weeks go by and I notice it's growing vastly so I call up another vet to get a second opinion in Auburn. I bring my dog there and they very clearly are like yea this is cancerous and needs to be removed immediately although your dog may not make it because of all the stress from the last surgery. Unfortunately she did not make it. If the vet at motherlode would have been honest about not removing the tumor all the way with initial surgery and also about it being cancerous I believe I would have had more time with her. I just think people should be aware of this. After this experience I personally would never recommend this veterinary hospital to anyone. 0 stars for me. I think they care more about your money than the actual pet.

Dr. Abbie Barker LIED about my dog's diagnosis, COERCED us into an UNETHICAL surgery she was in no…read moreway competent to perform that RESULTED IN HER DEATH, then LIED AGAIN and tried to COVER UP THE TRUTH. - Dr. Barker diagnosed Mia's front left elbow with osteosarcoma. HOWEVER, she failed to disclose that she detected the presence of a Mast Cell Tumor near the surgical site that presented extreme risk, and failed to disclose additional masses detected in other limbs that would have disqualified Mia as a candidate for amputation surgery. Instead, I was told that Mia's other limbs were arthritic but healthy and of no concern. All 3rd party veterinarians who have now reviewed the case have stated that it was unethical and never should have been performed based on this concealed information and Mia's age. It has become clear after reading the statements of the state medical board complaint FILED BY HER OWN EMPLOYEES that she knew alternative treatments would not be profitable for HER, so she coerced us into the $6,000 surgery. Dr. Barker has been overheard by staff members saying that she "only wants cash cow clients", clearly demonstrating that her decision making processes are completely financially motivated, not ethically motivated. - Dr. Barker withheld the fact that a surgery of this caliber was beyond her professional abilities and that her facility lacked the necessary resources to manage any complications. - Prior to surgery, Dr. Barker's staff repeatedly expressed their concerns over the ethics of the surgery and whether Dr. Barker should be attempting it at all. She ignored these concerns. - On the day of surgery, Dr. Barker stated to her staff repeatedly that she shouldn't be doing the surgery as she recognized it in the moment to be beyond her abilities. She chose to attempt the surgery anyway. - Dr. Barker started the surgery, cut Mia open, then panicked, left Mia hemorrhaging on the operating table for 45+ minutes while she then called in an outside surgeon to come to her facility to complete the procedure. Mia lost a lot of blood during this time. None of this information was disclosed to me. Instead, I was told "the surgery went very well and there were no complications or concerns." - After the 2nd surgeon completed the procedure, Mia failed to return to consciousness and her heart rate remained elevated to 220+ BPM with falling blood pressure for over 3 hours. I was never contacted during this time. I had to just show up to the facility out of gut feeling that something was wrong to learn this. - Dr. Barker told her staff that she recognized Mia's post-operative condition as critical and that she needed to be immediately transferred to another facility to save her life. None of this was communicated to me until after I had been at the facility for close to an hour, costing us precious time. She also failed to disclose to me that she told her staff that Mia would need a life saving blood transfusion due to blood loss after she abandoned the surgery. - I asked Dr. Barker repeatedly why this was happening - she failed to disclose any of these details and just said "I don't know." - I was then forced to put my dying dog on a stretcher into the back of my truck and drive her over an hour through rush hour traffic to attempt to save her life. By the time we reached the other facility she was in very critical condition. She died hours later. - I returned to FTLOP days later to ask Dr. Barker again what had happened. She continued to conceal the truth and pretend that nothing out of the ordinary had occurred during Mia's surgery. She also stated to her staff "I'm worried about what's going to happen if he finds out the truth."... - HER ENTIRE STAFF OF 10 PEOPLE WALKED OUT ON THEIR JOBS JUST DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS and filed a complaint with the state medical board due to these events. All statements here are taken directly from that complaint and my direct interactions with her. FB: Justice For Mia Meatball

The staff was super welcoming and answered all my silly questions. The dr I had, I believe dr Jill (?), was super friendly and helpful! The vet nurse Catherine was also very nice and helpful.

It felt like having a long-lost friend in the room; she even sat on the floor with us to say goodbye to my 18-year-old Maddie. I was especially grateful for her specialized approach for cats she uses a gentle, sting-free method that made the process peaceful. Cats are known to hold on and suffer longer than they should, and without her, I know Maddie would have continued to struggle, and I would have been heartbroken watching it. She saved us both from unnecessary trauma. If you need someone who is spectacular, easy to be around, and truly understands the bond we have with our pets, she is the one to call."

Dr. Linda was a god send for us this past week! My 16 year old Beagle Sadie had been going downhill…read moreover the past couple of months. Thanksgiving evening she became worse, and her back legs started giving out. She was falling more and more and unable to get back up on her own, and that was really the final sign to me that is was time. I researched online but a few options had no availability until after the weekend. I found Linda's website and sent her an email that night, but really didn't hold much hope. However, early Friday morning when I grabbed my phone intending to call our local vet (which I was dreading by the way), to my surprise was a text from Linda saying that she had an opening that morning. The last thing I wanted to do was to take Sadie up to my vet's office- they are great, but having to subject my beloved pet into a place that would just stress her out in her final moments was not something I wanted to endure. Linda was warm and gentle, making the whole experience so much better. Sadie was comfortable in her own bed in her own environment, and my wife and I could not have been happier. Still extremely difficult, but so much better with Linda. I cannot recommend her enough!
