Here is a little info about our vet, as I know it. Seems to be one main vet, maybe the owner, and 4 or 5 other vets that work there. The main vet seems to be well liked and has high reviews from online and personal friends.

Follow up to my earlier post - http://www.bulldogsworld.com/f/bulldog-medical-health/spitting-weight-loss

Well here is a synopsis:

We took her in yesterday and saw a different vet then two months ago.  They did x-rays and determined that she had a growth in her abdomin area and they couldn't tell for sure until they got her open.  The vet did show us the X-rays from another dog to show us how you could see some of the organs and when she pulled up Frankis's x-rays you couldn't see anything, meaning everything is mashed up so close together.

Surgery was this morning, she is in recovery now.  They found a 5 pound tumor on her spleen and removed the spleen.  They are going to send a sample out to get tested.

So how could the first vet that looked at her 2 months ago not be concerned at all at the 4lb. weight loss in a 5 month period? At least he could have suggested x-rays and a blood test, but no, nothing. I hope the 2 months didn't cause any perminant damage.

I am just glad we took her in.

On a side note, this is the same place they have gone to since we got them.  When we had them fixed they were supposed to fix one of our girls umbilical hernia at the same time. Well they didn't and we had to take her back in later to get that done(at no charge).

I hope like heck that our girl will be fine long term. At this point there is really nothing they can do to change what they have done in the past. Should I take my files and find a new vet?

My personality wants to make it known, and I mean known, what has happened and urge people not to go there.  On the flip side, the location is close to the house, hours are great and the main vet is supposedly great.

Thanks for your input -
