We took our 7 year 10 month old yorkie poo to this ER on Monday 10/24/16 because he was having a hard time breathing. This ER did nothing for him except maybe stop his coughing with Prednisone which cost $21.16. The office visit alone cost $115.00 then Xrays which they gave us a break on and only charged us for one at $168.21 then said they need to do a CBC which cost $267.35, then because the doctor wasn't sure what was wrong with him she had to send the xrays for a second opinion which cost $89.12. Plus an injection of I have no idea what cost $50.13 and medical waste disposal of $5.00 totaling $715.97. After all that the diagnosis was lung cancer. The dog suffered all night until we were able to get to our regular vet the next day. At our regular vet she didn't think it was lung cancer and there was no mass on the Xrays as we were at our regular vet's office our dog of almost 8 years started to expire and we allowed them to put him down. The ER never took an xray of his throat which apparently had a large tumor in it so he was unable to breath in or out. Basically all we can say is they obviously didn't have any clue as to what was wrong with our dog and received the worst care possible. The Vet was a little arrogant by stating that it isn't going to cost zero to treat him with the lung cancer. Yet that's not what he even had. They seem to overcharge and really don't have the compassion to deal with animals or their owners.
