ALERT/WARNING!!!
DO
NOT
come
to
TVEH’s
emergency
services
for
"EMERGENCY
SERVICE"!
They
are
unreliable,
Do
Not
prioritize
critical
patients
or
even
in-house
critical
patients.
They
do
not
care
about
your
pet’s
prior
medical
history!
My
dog
Goldy
passed
away
at
12:15am
on
July
25,
2022.
Goldy
W,
everyone
in
the
clinic
knows
that
he
was
a
patient
in
the
Oncology
Department,
diagnosed
with
agressive
Mast
Cell
Tumour
and
had
been
doing
chemo
at
this
clinic
since
December
2021.
Within
the
past
couple
of
months,
Goldy
has
been
going
to
the
ICU
and
had
to
stay
overnight
multiple
times,
due
to
underlying
health
issues
from
the
chemo
side
effects,
or
from
the
MCT.
For
two
weeks
in
a
row,
on
a
weekend,
I
attempted
to
send
Goldy
into
the
Emergency
due
to
deterioration
but
failed
by
the
clinic!
Last
last
Sunday,
17th
July,
I
called
to
inform
TVEH
at
11am
that
I
was
going
to
send
Goldy
down
as
he
was
weak,
not
eating
and
urination
was
excessive
to
an
unacceptable
level.
I
was
told
that
there
was
a
2-hour
call
list
and
they
would
call
me
back
at
least
2
hours
for
an
assessment.
I
explained
that
Goldy
was
an
in-house
chemo
patient
with
Dr.
Patten
and
he
was
hospitalized
just
a
week
ago
due
to
zero
white
blood
cell
so
this
was
critical
and
begged
for
priority..
The
receptionist
didn't
seem
to
care
and
insisted
that
the
call
list
was
2
hours
long
and
I
just
needed
to
wait!
Ended
up,
they
didn't
call
me
back
unitl
8
hours
later
at
7:52pm,
JUST
TO
ASSESS!
I
yelled
on
the
phone
and
they
didn't
seem
to
care
and
no
apology,
just
asked
if
I
still
wanted
an
assessment!!!
I
sent
Goldy
early
in
the
next
morning
to
the
oncology
depart.
and
was
told
that
he
was
super
dehydrated
and
with
kidney
&
stomach
issues,
and
of
course
was
hospitalized
for
couple
of
nights.
This
is
the
opposite
of
emergency
services!!!
THIS
PAST
WEEKEND,
24TH
JULY,
I
drove
direct
to
the
clinic
at
11am
on
Sunday
because
Goldy
was
not
eating
again
and
drank
less,
and
weak.
I
sat
for
1.5
hours
waiting
to
be
assessed,
asked
the
receptionist
for
a
few
times
if
they
could
prioritize
Goldy
and
they
refused
and
told
me
they
had
first
come
first
serve
basis!
Dogs
came
in
with
limping
leg
got
treated
before
my
dog
who
had
cancer,
who
wasn’t
eating
or
drinking,
who
was
weak
and
was
doing
chemo
at
the
clinic,
JUST
BECAUSE
THEY
CHECKED
IN
FIRST!!
**ABSOLUTELY
NO
SENSE
OF
TRIAGE!!!!!!!!**
After
1.5
hours,
without
even
an
assessment,
I
was
asked
to
go
back
home
because
they
had
a
6
hour
wait
time!!
Instead,
the
receptionist
just
booked
me
an
appointment
at
9am
for
the
following
day
on
Monday.
I
begged
if
she
could
get
someone
to
assess
to
make
sure
he
was
not
dehydrated
and
I
suspected
that
IV
would
be
needed.
She
said
she
couldn't
becuase
all
the
cages
were
full
and
the
wait
list
was
long!
After,
I
was
like
a
crazy
woman
running
around
Shoppers
&
Global
Pet
Food
for
syringes,
electrotyle
and
chicken
bone
broth
to
feed
him
to
make
sure
he
could
make
thru
Sunday
for
next
morning's
appointment!
Later
at
night,
Goldy
turned
worse
and
I
rushed
over
to
ER
again
close
to
midnight
as
he
was
heavily
breathing
and
fast.
While
on
our
way
to
the
clinic,
Goldy
passed
away
in
the
car
at
12:20am.
We
arrived
to
the
clinic
with
a
dead
body
whom
TVEH's
EMERGENCY
refused
to
prioritize
treatment
for.
[CRYING]
They
tried
to
resuscitate
him
with
CPR,
but
it
was
no
use.
He
was
gone...
[Crying]
The
veterinarian
who
spoke
with
us
said
Goldy’s
files
stated
that
Goldy
had
been
assessed
and
re-scheduled
for
an
appointment
the
next
morning.
Goldy
was
NEVER
assessed
in
the
first
place
that
prior
morning.
And
because
of
TVEH’s
"INABILITY
TO
ASSESS
ANIMALS
FOR
TRIAGE",
Goldy
died
in
my
daughter’s
arms
during
the
car
ride
to
the
clinic.
It
just
ended
in
tragedy!!
I
repeat:
DO
NOT
come
to
TVEH
for
EMERGENY
SERVICES.
They
have
no
empathy
for
our
pets!
THANK
YOU
to
the
Department
of
Oncology,
Dr.
Patten
and
his
assistant,
Jennifer
for
everything
you’ve
done
for
Goldy.
But
your
emergency
services
bring
you
down...
***The
Emergency
Service
isn't
even
worth
One
Star,
just
need
to
enable
the
Post
Button!***
