Worth noting
Dog bitten by own pet during rectal exam - owner placed in dangerous situation
โshe failed to alert me that she was going in and did not warn me to move my hand so I was bit by my own dog. I WAS PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.โ
Cat roaming lobby despite owner providing written notice about dog not liking cats
โThere was a cat roaming the lobby, after putting in writing that my dogs don't like cats the feline was still roaming and approached both my dogs at separate visits and hissed.โ
Misdiagnosis - lymphoma not detected
โwe found out she had stage 4 or 5 Lymphoma. This other vet said it was blatantly obvious that she had cancer and could not believe that Animal Hospital Brier Creek had not been able to diagnose it correctly.โ
Misdiagnosis - mass diagnosed as soft tissue swelling, later found to be cutaneous lymphoma
โMisdiagnosed my dog's mass in his throat as a 'soft tissue swelling'... was diagnosed with cutaneous lymphoma. Too much time lost and I ended up losing my dog.โ
Dog traumatized during nail trim procedure
