They need a letter from the law office, or more likely a law suit. They did this with a Mercedes at Downtown Mercedes. They were hit with millions of dollars in punitive damages. Were I there I would ask for permission to sue. That is pure nonsense. It would make for a great presentation to the jury. Never put up with that sort of crap. That is a legal word. Evan L.

Not my regular vet but the Emergency Vet who kept her alive said that if we didn't pay the $1500 for the one night up up front they were going to make my husband sign her over to them because obviously we couldn't provide the right care for her. They would make the decision to put her back together and give her to someone who could care for her or put her down. NICE PEOPLE - NOT!!! I can't stand them, but they did their job and they are the ONLY ones in town that are open all night to do this. They say if you don't like their policies to find someone else to work with...They wouldn't even wait till I got off the plane that next day. My vet is only asking for the surgery cost before she can go home. There is more cost above that they will work with us on. I didn't realize they couldn't do that. We are a very small community. Every vet in town I have worked with does the same thing. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
