I cannot say this loud enough AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST! normally I dont write negative reviews and give people the benefit of the doubt that it was just an off day. I have waited many months to write this review to ensure a non emotional fair review and I still come to the same conclusion DO NOT take your pet here. I was forced to drop my dog off if I wanted him seen. The call I got said looks like he got bit by something and they would need to debride the wound that they had just done one last week and were capable or I could go to Reno they didnt say anything about it being serious or their being any flesh eating bacteria present, their communication is horrible no call after surgery so I called and left messages over 24 hrs before reaching someone. they said they need to cut more I said I will be there to see for myself what is wrong so I understand. After seeing the deplorable conditions back there and lack of communication I told her I am taking him home as they did not have anyone there at night and would take him to Reno in the morning.she got an attitude and told the helper to get her the laser cuz sue was going to laser this bitch (referring to the wound) she convinced me to let her remove some more on his foot and said she would LOOK at his arm pit while he was under I agreed and forever regret it as when they took me back to the area she was still cutting away in the most unsanitary surgery area I had ever seen, where other pets were allowed during my dogs surgery.she took it upon herself to cut his entire armpit out and leave an open wound when I asked why she said well I dont have enough skin to close it and we dont have the resources here to care for him like this. I was too upset and in shock to argue why she cut more than what I agreed to And to be honest it would not have undid the nightmare I firmly believe the infection came from the unsanitary condition. I took my baby straight to Reno emergency where they were appalled at what a "professional" did to my dog! if a wound is left open that large it must have a wound vac And while going over the meds they gave me with the specialist it was discovered that 3 of the antibiotics actually make the condition worse. I immediately called them and told them what the specialist said about those meds as I was concerned for the other dog that was being treated by them for same thing. I was told she would let the vet know. I will NEVER take my animals to the ranch veterinary clinic and will tell everyone I know to go somewhere else. Understaffed, unsanitary no communication no empathy they act like its "just" a dog! No maam he was my special needs sons support dog a young man who never expressed emotion cried his heart out when his best friend died And I fear will never get over what he seen and experienced. I believe had there been a review on them I would have took him clear to Reno to begin with and he would still be alive and that is something I will live with forever! I pray this honest review helps save another pet and owner the pain and suffering we were subjected to. I am sure there are people that have had good experiences in fact I had taken my old dog there to be euthanized it was inexpensive and they came out to the car and did it as she was immobile. I guess if you want an animal put down they will do but if you want it to live avoid them like the plague. I do not know which of the women vets it was one did initial surgery it was the second lady that butchered him and was quite rude but after being paid in full at time of surgery, they would not let me take him otherwise which was not told to me beforehand thankfully I had the $2200 I have made multiple requests they still have not sent me his records. A lawyer recommended that I sue for the unauthorized additional cutting as I have witnesses that verify I said JUST his foot. I am not that type of person and it will not ease the pain he felt or our suffering nor bring him back. Though it may deter her from taking it upon herself to do what she wants instead of what the pets owner requested. My main purpose of taking the time to write this is to make the community aware so they can make an informed decision and hopefully save another animals life. Thank you for reading and have a blessed day! read more
