I WILL NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PET THERE AGAIN THEY DO SURGERY IN THE ROOM WHERE THEY KEEP SICK ANIMALS THEY LEAVE YOUR ANIMALS IN KENNELS FULL OF FECES AND URINE IT IS INHUMANE,CRUEL YOU CAN SMELL THE OLD BLOOD THEY LEAVE PETS WITH IVS OVER NIGHT UNATTENDED I KNOW THIS BECAUSE MY DOG WAS THERE FOR A WEEK IN MAY 2016 I VISITED TWICE A DAY SHE DIED JUNE 1,2016 AT HOME

I took half a day off work yesterday and we drove 2.5 hours to Marcum Road Animal Hospital for an Ear Crop Consultation in Lakeland.They were highly recommended and not too expensive. Well, I was told the doctor is an older lady who is very experienced and would walk us through the process. However,she wasn't in. We saw the "relief" vet, Dr. Loosey who was an older man that appeared disabled (May have suffered a stroke at one point),he could barely move one side of his body. You could not quite understand him when he spoke and he could not handle our 5.5 lb dog with both hands and walked severely limped. Well, he took our dog to the back where you could hear him mumbling and our dog screaming like he'd been stepped on or dropped. He came back and told us that he took his blood but said the couldn't find a vain in his neck. So he used his leg. I noticed then that Dr. Looseys hands were bloody and our dogs leg was covered in blood. I said " oh my god, is that blood?" He said no it's alcohol. See you next week to get his tail done. And left the room. I of course had a meltdown, we weren't there for blood work or a tail dock. You could clearly see our dogs tail was docked. We were there for an ear consultation. I began to somewhat make a scene and a nice lady told me that the front desk person was new, and had mixed us up. 2 vet techs came out, calmed me down, and cleaned up Our dog. She cancelled the blood test and apologized and really tried to reassure us. We paid, left, drove 2.5 hours home and the next morning, I cancelled his surgery.

I took my Macaw and 2 other birds to this vet office. NOT only did they manhandle my birds, the wings look like they were chopped! i was vivid! 2 months later I called someone to the house to clip my new macaws wings and the woman stated who did this poor birds wings? I said a vet she said OMG! poor things, its gonna take at least 6 months to get them normal I was so upset the day this horrible vet did this and more upset today to hear what a professionl had to say about it! Do not take your birds here!
