Fort Mill Animal Hospital

My mom and I have been using this vet for 30 years. We have had numerous cats and dogs over the years and they have treated all of them. We have been happy with their services until this year. It started several months ago, when my cat all the sudden turned ill. He wouldn't walk or eat or anything. We took him there, and the doctor gave him a shot. He didn't improve so 3 days later we brought him back in, well that was a Friday. This vet closes at 12. And instead of helping us out, they just shoved us off. We ended up at the emergency vet. They gave re-hydrated my cat and sent us home. The next week he still was not better. My mom tried to take him back to Fort Mill Clinic but decided to take him to Baxter Vet instead. There we found out that my cat had a blood clot in his spine. We ended up putting him down, because nothing could be done. We felt as if Dr Leslie really didn't put the time into looking over the cat. Now, we are having to deal with my dog. She has had this growth on her chest for 3 years now. Every yearly check up, and every tim she gets her nails trimmed (2months) we would ask Dr Leslie to look at it. He kept telling us it is no big deal. Well last week it started to bleed. We took her in and Dr. Leslie gave her a shot and said that he would remove it. No other tests were done. Well my mom decided to take the dog over to Baxter Vet. Turns out it isn't just a growth, it is a Mast Cell Tumor which will most likely kill her. If Dr Leslie had listened to us and our concerns and done a 5 minute procedure a couple of years ago, my dog might have a fighting a chance. But instead it is now a very serious condition.

My suggestion is to try somewhere else. They are nice and spoil animals but the fact that concerns of our weren't address 2-3 years ago really bother us. We are now having all of our animals re-checked at Baxter Vet.

Like I said, we have been going here for 30 years! We like the people, but our concerns are on how well Dr Leslie is actually paying attention to animals. All he had to do was a five minute test 3 years ago to see if this "growth" was a tumor, and my dog could be able to live a lot longer. But now, the prognosis is bad....

Go somewhere else, where the doctor will pay attention to you and your animals and especially your concerns!
