Complaint Review: Crown Valley Animal Hospital

I took my yellow lab to Crown Valley Animal Hospital because it appeared his back was bothering him and he was struggling to get up after laying down for a while.  Dr. Ivers told me he had arthritis (without taking an x-ray) and prescribed an anti-inflam medicine. Within a few days, my dog began to breathe heavily, lost his appetite and was lethargic. I called Dr. Ivers to tell him how he was doing, and I was told he would be fine. He did not ask to see the dog. A day or two later, I spoke with Dr. Ivers again and told him that my dog was dying! I told him he smelled like he was dying and once again I was told he would be alright. Even the day before he died, I spoke to the doctor once again and was told he would be fine. He died the next day, and I believe it was because of liver failure due to the toxic reaction he had to the anit-inflams medicine prescribed by Dr. Ivers.  Dr. Ivers even had the nerve to send me a sympathy card!  We now have two yellow labs, and if they were on their death beds I would not take them to Crown Valley Hospital! Since the death of my dog, I have had three people tell me that their dogs died because of the poor treatment received at Crown Valley Animal Hospital! If you love your animal, do not even consider taking them to Dr. Ivers at Crown Valley Hospital!
