The vet there is very nice though switch a lot. What worries me is we had just taken our dog , little Maltese , to the vet about 2 weeks before at Fort Lee. She tested his blood etc. to get the heart worm meds and said he was okay.
We came home, he began to get worse and became unstable and then I took him to the VCA vet in Colonial Heights. We had him put down because he was passing orange urine and couldn't stand on his own long and showing signs of weakness and finally on Sunday would not eat or drink. I stayed home from church to watch him, Monday we took him to VCA.
They said only a possibility to save him and costs for all the tests would be over 1500.00 and then IF HE MADE IT - monthly costs for meds and iv's and the list went on. My husband had gone though this in life and we did not want to put Mickie through this stress. My heart is so broken we cried for 3 days and still cry from time to time. I wish I had taken him to a hospital right away and maybe he would still be alive. I don't want to put BLAME on anyone. But I can't help but wonder why they didn't catch something at Fort Lee when I took him in. I guess I will never know. read more
