I called the clinic upon getting home and asked how long she had been in her carrier after surgery. The secretary said she had been in the crate for about "15-20 minutes". She said she was in the crate for as long as the vet had been back from giving shots to some larger livestock at someone's farm. I'm not sure if they took us as idiots but there is no way in hell that cat could have urinated that volume of fluid that was present in the carrier. It was absolutely appalling and downright inhumane!
Our cat had surgery early in the morning (as all places, vet or your regular doctors office, do surgery) and was thrown in the kennel for the rest of the day to lay in her own urine. This is not the only negative encounter I have had with Dr. Silver over the years but we will never bring our animals there again to be abused/neglected. Not only should the way he practices medicine be in question, but so should his horrible attitude and clear disinterest in treating animals with dignity and respect. DO NOT BRING YOUE PET HERE!
I went to pick up my sister's cat with her around 3:30 pm after getting her "fixed". Upon getting in the car with the cat carrier we noticed that the cats fur was completely saturated in her own urine. Then came the smell.... we Iooked inside the carrier only to fine the whole bottom was filled with urine almost splashing out into the car. We had to immediately tilt the carrier to the back to not spill urine everywhere in the car.
This "Vet" (I use the term loosely...) asked my Dad to hold her head so he could look at her teeth. The dog was terrified, and fighting, the "Vet" was getting irritated, so I opted to end the visit and leave.
My large breed dog broke her leg at 9pm on sunday and Dr. Silver meet me at me there in 15 mins. He was very good with my dog and gave her an anesthetic then set her leg and wrapped it in a very nice splint, then gave me some material and a bunch of info and knowledge to care for her leg. Was leaving the vet at 9:45 and that included me going to an atm to get the fair fee of $50. He did a wonderful job with the splint. Will take all my business there.
Both cats doing fine
While I'm sure there may be other Vets that work from this office, the one that provided large animal care on our farm was interested in leaving as soon as he got there. Rushing our work flow nearly cost us a cow. There was nothing major going on at all. The weather was fine, the processes simple. The only thing that caused risk to injury to our livestock was the poor attitude of the veterinary.
DO NOT bring your pet to this person. He certainly doesn't deserve to have a license.
As I was walking out the door, my mother yelled at the "Vet" to let go of her dog. I turned around, and he had her up off the table, one hand around her throat, the other at the base of her skull to show my dad how to hold her. She was choking, her legs were flailing.
If I could rate a zero, I would. We took our dogs in today for a pre teeth cleaning visit. Given how nervous our little Jack Russell was, we should have just left. (ALWAYS pay attention to your pet's body language...)
