    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    Called Shively animal clinic in April to make a reservation to board my dog June 14,23. I was told boarding was $20/day. I was told she needed a vaccine prior to boarding. I brought her in on 5/19/24 to be vaccinated. After she was vaccinated, I wanted to confirm our boarding res. & price/day. The girl went to check the book, came back & told me there wasn't a res. She took the dates from me & told me she put it in the book. She told me boarding is $20/day. On June 14th I brought my dog in for boarding. I had found a tick on her chest in the waiting area & asked for tweezers to remove it & the girl told me she would have 1 of the docs remove it. She didn't say there would be a charge. I came back to pick up my dog on June 23rd. After a wait they called me back, I went to check out to pay my bill. They said it was $26.50. I asked for what? Was told for the 1 day of boarding. Told the guy that she was boarded on 6/14. Then he said $225. Told him that was too much it was $20/day. So then it was adjusted to $180 ($20/day). Then another person said they would go ask the Vet. I wrote my check for 180. As we were finishing she came and said the vet said it was $25/day the price went up. I told them I was quoted @ $20/day & it was on my dog's treatment card. Someone had crossed it out & put $25/day. I wasn't told of the increase, It isn't fair to change a price on something after a person has already dropped off their dog! They then told me I would owe the extra $58.50. When my dog was brought to me she had wet yellow ears (she is white), scabbed over bump on her back (was not there when I dropped her off) & a large amount of dried poop on her butt! I had to wait again for them to come back & get her to clean the poop off. They did say sorry for the poop. When I got home we noticed she had a raw spot on her nose. Had to give her a bath, found a tick on her. I called today & asked for them to take off the amt. owed. They refused, saying it was right price.

    4/15/23 Took my pup because she’s was bleeding from her nose , vet was terrified of the blood, he ran blood test and sent us on our way, Doctor calls next morning at 9 am , says blood test were perfect calling in the medicine she was on 6 months ago from previous vet , get there to pick up medicine, can’t find her records for an hour, kept stating how busy they are , and asking me when was she seen? Then they find her records and tell me to wait in car , so they can get it ready . I go inside to pick up medicine, they refuse to give me a copy of her blood test , supervisor calls me and said she will email it to me on Monday, so Wednesday comes( today 4/19) and I have to keep calling to get the blood test results, they finally send them via email and her blood test was not perfect, it’s even written in red ink . She is extremely low on iron , anemia, the other count shows she has had an untreated infection for awhile and the other count shows a bacterial infection. Literally I believe someone should step in and limit how many patients they see because the are inadequate to handle what they allow in , they are about quantity not quality!

    I had an extended visit with Ms. J**** on 4/15/2023 involving a detailed discussion of Abby's condition. I localized the source of the bloody discharge. I discussed the most likely differentials, and I discussed the necessity of performing detailed diagnostics of rhinoscopy and possibly a CT scan wince this condition dates back to October of 2022. I performed labwork to assess the overall health of Abby. I do not agree with Ms. J****' interpretation of Abby's labwork. I prescribed the same medication as her regular veterinary because Ms. J**** specifically stated that in the past those medications were effective. My last conversation with Ms. J**** was on Sunday, 4/16/2023. She was to call me in 24 hours if there was no change in Abby's condition. I never received any follow-up call from her. She never indicated to me that she was unhapy with my evaluation or recommendations. If she had, I would have certainly addressed those concerns. Ms. J**** was told that we would email her records. I only have a specific group of office employees that handle medical records. Therefore, there is a small time delay. Our hospital did reach out to Ms. J**** via phone and text on 4/19/23 but received no reply. - Joseph F***** DVM
