    PAST TIME to file charges for this veterinary's abuse of people & animals READ the 1* reviews of MULTIPLE people repeated being treated horribly. If your pet is dying on the table scared & in pain they have kept owners from being with them to comfort them at all . MULTIPLE people have reported MANY experiences of this & similar treatment going far back for many years . READ just one year & you willl see these facts relating the horrific experience people & their animals were traumatized with . I myself was given a completely FRAUDULENT Diagnosis /cancer after 42 biopsies, 2 surgeries & THOUSANDS spent here. Dr. L*** did NOT send my script to online pharmacy before a holiday while my cat was going into panic attacks desperately struggling with TONS of mucus, unable to breath. FORCED to buy $400 ANTIBIOTIC from them at high inflated cost AND it was NOT correct one for his infection. THEN she did THE WORST scam I have ever experienced as I called & text for 5 DAYS in DESPERATION begging for L*** to write a script to clear his mucus from Wedgewood PHARMACY for guanifenisen in a form that was not toxic to cats. ( THIS is DOCUMENTED in many medical reports & their website as safe for cats) I had researched the exact dosage to give & this is the only medication available for cats to help clear extremely excess sinus & lung mucus.. You could hear my cat wheezing like a whistle from his lungs . Dr L*** REFUSED to write a script or EVEN read the information I sent because she said she was not aware of it & she ONLY recommends AFRIN human nasal spray LISTED AS POISON on hotline for cats. Dr L*** had the staff tell me that they were not receiving my emails for five days of lies until ONE staff member told me L*** got them immediately. I then told staff I was filing charges for malpractice & had everything documented & recorded L*** then immediately emails me to use baby saline . ALL of US MUST GET IN CONTACT , share our info & file charges together & SUE
