We were in town on vacation on Tuesday evening. Our dog had very bad diarrhea after two days of extensive travel . We called around for an emergency vet. We were quoted an office fee plus a $200 call out. We gave all the information about our dog.

He looked at us and said he could have cancer but what could we do- he's too old to be operated on and too old to even sedate without worrying he wouldn't wake up. He said "the dogs happy, he goes on walks, he has a family who takes good... read full review
