Horrid experience

Horrible experience. My dog had been hurt by a car and a different vet sent him home. After a week I took him in for not eating and this vet did more x-rays and blood work and found some major issues. We decided it was best to have my dog put down. I asked if I could go home and get my kids so they could say goodbye and he said "how long is this going to take because I have a horrible head cold and was trying to move your appointment along so I can go home" then his Assistant came in and informed me it would be almost $550 and when I said I couldn't afford that, and asked if I could make any sorry if payment arrangement, they had to get approval from the vet who refused. I said I would take my dog back home and get a second opinion and my husband would take him to a different vet which is when they told me they already had the catheter in and made me feel awful that I couldn't pay to let them kill my dog. I ended up with my father in law helping cover costs and when they did the procedure, my dog started screaming and trying to get away. The Dr had to leave and go back in with different medicine so I heard my dog crying until the very end. This vet it's RUDE and inconsiderate and just disrespectful. I can not believe the experience I had here and it's absolutely hearty breaking that this vet is so money hungry and has ZERO compassion for pets or their owners. At one point, I truly felt cornered and as if they would not let me leave with my dog which is the only reason I had them do it, I truly felt STUCK and was an emotional mess because that's not what I expected to be the outcome of the visit and the vet was so callus in his way of speaking to me. I honestly assumed it was stress related appetite suppression from the accident. So I was caught off guard and heart broken then dealing with the vet and his attitude, my pup screaming until the end.... Do NOT go here.
