This is a vet practice that has no business giving medical attention to our babies. I have situation that was several years ago and I would have thought, for the love of all pets, that they'd changed, but after reading some posts on Facebook and taking to some friends it's obvious they have not. I have no love for Green Meadows Veterinary Service because they took something very special from me and didn't care at all.
I took a very special cat there once and paid every penny to my name just for them to let her die. It was not the fact that she passed away that shook me it was the lack of compassion and customer service. It was an emergency and I was treated as an inconvenience. I didn't tell them I was going to struggle to pay that was my secret. For the sake of my baby, I was going to sell everything I had and for all they knew I was a millionaire. So, money wasn't a factor (but shouldn't be anyway). They were just cold, indifferent, and uncaring of the fact I needed vet care ASAP. There was a suffering, yowling in pain animal right there and they acted like it was nothing. I was near histerics!
They looked at her and told me to give her a pill and go home. As she laid on the floor swelling/filling with fluid from some feline disease, her skin stretched tighter than a snare drum, she yowled in pain. That's when I called them back and by this time I was crying, but go figure they were too busy to talk and I had to leave a message. A couple hours later they called and that's when they told me that what she had wasn't curable and she will keep going down hill until she died. WHY DID THEY TELL ME TO TAKE HER HOME?They were simply too busy for a euthanasia at that time and I needed to make an appointment.....AN APPOINTMENT SO SHE COULD SUFFER NEEDLESSLY! Apparently she was "just a cat"...... Thankfully she passed on her own a few hours into the night after suffering on the floor for over 15 hours. They was she looked at me.... In her eyes.... I felt like I had betrayed her
I called to cancel the euthanasia and tell them she died no thanks to them. Did I get any sympathy? No! They even said "ok, have a nice day". I vowed that would be the last place I would EVER take my pet to again. I am so sorry for anyone's loss but I know your pain and know anyone feels about this practice. They have no business being a veterinarian.
After my experience I wouldn't even let them work on a toy train....... read more
