On 8/21/2025 my grown daughter took her older husky mix dog to The Ark Animal Hospital in…read moreClaremore, Ok. She has been taking her there for 6 years! My daughter stated that when she dropped her off that morning around 8:00am she was fine, her normal 13 year old self. Walking, riding in the car, looking out the window, and breathing normal. Her dog was scheduled to get her rabies shot, a bath, and nail trim. During her time there the staff told my daughter that she needed her ears cleaned. She said ok, do it. When she picked her up she was told that they had to have several people hold her down to trim her nails. I'm sure that was also true about cleaning her ears as she hasn't had that done often. When her dog was walking to the car after being there she walked very sluggish kind of like she was drunk. She asked if they gave her anything to make her feel/act like that. They said no. She couldn't jump on the back of the car like she did on her way there. My daughter had to pick her 83lb dog up and put her in the back of her SUV. She drove home, with her whining with every bump the car hit. My daughter had her husband look at her, he said she's not good and to take her back to the vet. So that's what she did. The vet came out and looked at the dog, and kept telling her she's just old and this maybe the end just to take her home and see how she does. He padded her on the back and said I'm sorry. He did suggest a couple things like give her electrolytes. I was on the phone listening to their entire conversation. She asked if there was anything they could give her to help her. He said well we can take her back in and draw blood and see what's wrong, but that's going to cost more money. (WHAT?!??) My thoughts were you guys did this to her dog, and that's what you tell my daughter, either pay more money to figure out what YOUR CLINIC did to my daughters dog, or take her home and see if she lives or dies. Well not really knowing what to do she took her home, tried to give her electrolytes, because that's one thing the vet did say to try. She was so upset that my husband and I went over there. Her dog was literally laying on the floor on her side breathing very deep and slow like she was going to die any second. We managed to get a few syringes of Gatorade in her, and she wouldn't take any more. She wouldn't eat anything. I read online that if we couldn't get her to eat and drink she would definitely die, so we continued to try, and she wouldn't. Thank God we have my other daughter who works at a different clinic in a different town, and I called her to get her opinion, she said she definitely need fluids, so she came over and gave her a bag of fluids. Along with that my daughter called Ark clinic back and just gave them an ear full, after that call they told her they would give her 2 meds for her for free. She got the meds and after she saw that she was doing a little better after receiving the bag of fluids she gave her the meds. It took her 3 days to come back from the vet visit at Ark. I normally only write reviews if they are positive, but this is something others need to know if they have an older dog. Older dogs can't endure having a lot done to them like the younger dogs can. It totally stressed my daughter's dog out so bad that if she hadn't been given that bag of fluids, we would have lost her, all because of a vet visit that was supposed to help her.
