Below , are my opinion’s how the vet could of done more to save her life .My dog Lacy was not feeling well Thursday evening. We already had a scheduled appointment the next day. My wife informed the Vet that Lacy was not feeling well so he examined her and drew Blood .He let my wife know that Lacy had fluid around her abdomen, which wasn’t there the last time he saw her around 20 days ago . Instead being a thorough Vet , finding out what fluid was around the abdomen he just sent Lacy home that day. Waiting for the blood results sometime the following day, unfortunately Lacy passed away that evening. As we noticed her really getting ill , we rushed her to the 24 hour Animal Medical clinic in Spring Hill on Deltona . We saw Vet Dr. Stone there and we explained that Lacy was at her Vet early today and what our doctor discovered about the fluid on her abdomen . Immediately Dr. Stone wanted to find out what that fluid was , and found it to be blood . Dr. Stone thought that Lacy had a tumor that bursted around her sternum causing it to bleed . She explained that if she could of gotten there sooner that she could’ve done an operation to save her life. My feeling is that if the vet Mike Marks would have been more aggressive and found out what the fluid was around her abdomen , that early Friday, we could’ve had it repaired before she bled out from the inside that night . Even with his own words he said he wished he would’ve been more aggressive . My thoughts are she was bleeding a small amount , which was making her not feel well and that’s the fluid Dr. Mike Marks found Friday Morning during her visit . Later that day a tumor around her sternum finally bursted and she bleed out from the inside of her body. This same tumor what caused the bleeding to start. My opinion, that if Dr. Mike Marks would’ve been more thorough and found out what fluid was around her abdomen in the morning,before sending her home,we could’ve had a chance for surgery to save her life .

Have always found Dr. Taylor and her staff to be straight forward and honest. We have been bringing our miniature and toy poodles to her for years. If there is an issue we just say something to her because she communicates and does what she can to meet our needs. We trust her and we trust the staff.

took my 10 year old chihuahua here to be spayed because the non-profit clinic said she was too old for them to do it...she got excellent care for a very reasonable price...I'm very satisfied with their service

I have been in with my Dogs a few times and always felt over charged because of the "office visit" charge...but they all have one. But while there with my Dog I asked about having a kitten I rescued spayed, vaccinated and front claws removed - they looked up the price and gave me an estimation of between 200.00 & 250.00. I felt that was expencive but maybe they quoted high" I thought, so to be loyal for caring for my dogs I took the kitten in and when I picked her up they said the bill was 356.98 - I was so up set" I asked why and was told that the medications are seperate, and was charged 29.25 for an ear mite treatment also!!!! No WAY! Since I was upset they discounted the invoice by 30.00.

I could have taken her to Pet Luv for 98.00 Total.

Just dont trust that kind of business.
