I am absolutely appalled by the lack of urgency and compassion at this holistic vet. I brought my dog in while she was clearly suffocating—she was in severe respiratory distress and struggling to breathe. It was obvious she was in a life-threatening situation—something even I, not being a vet, could clearly recognize.
While the vet did examine her and provided acupuncture and herbs, there was no acknowledgment of the severity of her condition and no effort to stabilize her or escalate care. There was no emergency guidance and no sense of urgency.
I sat in my car for 20 minutes trying to stabilize my dog, then went back inside crying and begging for help, specifically asking for oxygen. I was told they do not have oxygen available. As a veterinary practice, I am shocked that they have nothing in place for emergencies like this.
To make matters worse, while my dog was in distress, the receptionist was visibly upset that my dog had an accident on the floor and questioned whether I had taken her out beforehand. Being asked that while my dog was struggling to breathe was completely inappropriate and added to an already traumatic situation.
Instead, I was told to drive home and “be careful,” while my dog was actively struggling to breathe. I then had to rush to an emergency vet, where my dog ultimately had to be put down.
Given how severe and traumatic this situation was, the lack of care continued afterward—there was not even a follow-up call to check on my dog or the outcome. That level of indifference is unacceptable.
In a moment that required decisive, compassionate medical action, I was met with a complete lack of it. I would never trust or recommend a practice that fails to recognize and respond appropriately to a true emergency.
