4 paws pet hospital

We took our dog here due to it being a Saturday and our vet wasn't in office. Our dog had gotten a large wound on her leg that needed stitches. We took her in they quoted us an exuberant amount, but she needed to be seen and helped. They did her exam and kept her due to fever and said 2 hours, they kept her for almost 5. We don't live in the area. They gave her meds and scheduled her for surgery on Monday. They charged us $85 for wound dressing that was down around her ankle (not even close to the wound) before we even left the office ( she came in with $8 in Walmart bandages that stayed on for 12 hours). When I picked her up after her surgery, her stitches looked like they were done in a rush. And she was bruised (I've never had an animal bruise after being stitched). Normal stitch removal is done 10 to 14 days post-op. They had her scheduled for 21 days post op. The doctor also wanted her to be sedated the whole 21 days. On day 12 I noticed her stitch site was starting to look irritated. On Monday (day 14) I called and let them know that her stitches were cutting into her skin causing more issues. I had to repeat myself due to the receptionist holding a conversation with a coworker while I was in the middle of talking. After I repeated myself she just said okay, then said if im concerned I could bring her in but it's not a guarantee the stitches will be removed. I hung up and called our vet and was able to get her in. Our vet looked at the wound and the pictures we've been taking to document, and shook his head. He said sedation for that long period of time was excessive and unnecessary, and she should of had the stitches removed around the 10 day mark even with the size of the wound. Her stitches were removed today (day 15) but is on another round of antibiotics due to the new wounds from the stitches. I do not recommend this place. The staff is rude, they do not give you all of your paperwork and the lobby is unclean. You dont even see the doctor yourself. They take your animal to her and then she has the techs relay her information. Plus they charge way to much.

Won’t accept “pet surrenders” even when the animal is dying in your arms. They weren’t mine. Wanted to give the animal a fighting chance to live. But all they care about is money.
