We brought our much-loved 3-1/2 year-old mixed breed, Alice, to Striegel Animal Hospital for…read moreextraction of a broken tooth. A pre-op exam was done by Dr. Cressey, who found her fit and healthy. Surgery was performed 5 days later on a Tuesday. Alice initially appeared to recover normally, but by the following Sunday she refused food and became lethargic. As Striegel was closed, we took Alice to Lakeside Veterinary Hospital in Carbondale IL., where they determined that she was dehydrated and that her stitches had opened. Bloodwork indicated a low white blood cell count. The wound was cleaned, she was given fluids and anti-nausea meds. She was prescribed an antibiotic to be given only if she ate. We were advised to return to Striegel for follow-up. She would not eat and so we returned to Striegel the next day, Monday. Dr. Cressey examined her at length and said the extraction site was fine despite the missing stitches. Although blood test results were borderline, Dr. Cressey diagnosed pancreatitis based on abdominal sensitivity. We were told that simple anxiety could sometimes trigger such symptoms in a dog. Alice was again given fluids along with pain meds and an appetite stimulant. We we're instructed to feed her as best we could but not to administer the antibiotic unless she ate. We were not provided with an emergency telephone number or any recourse to after-hours immediate care. In the middle of the night, Alice's breathing became labored and she began to cry. We did our best to apply pain medication. At two-thirty on that Tuesday morning, as we drove toward the only 24-hour clinic we could find, two hours away near St. Louis, Alice died in my wife's arms. Three weeks later, I can still hear my wife crying as I write this. A necropsy was performed at the U of I Veterinary school but results were inconclusive. Striegel called to inform us that the invoice for that necropsy was ready a week before the report was returned. Like other doctors, veterinarians swear an oath upon graduation: primum non nocere, first do no harm. Striegel did irrevocable harm to our Alice, deep and lasting harm to me and my wife. They did not provide the thorough, responsible care and follow-up we were promised and dutifully paid for. Alice was our best friend and constant companion. If you care for your pet as much as we did for her, you would be well advised to look elsewhere for a good veterinarian.
