Preventive care

hi neighbors, I just received a biopsy result that confirmed that my little best friend has cancer (skin cancer, from being in the sun). Im writing this for two reasons: 1. I’ve previously endorsed Gardiner Animal Hospital, whose doctors have dismissed my concerns of my cats lesions (ear scab) for years until casually mentioning during our last visit it “may” be cancer. A type of cancer they’re familiar with and have treated before and is most common in white cats. After doing my own research i realized it is absolutely what my cat has and i’m wondering why it took 2 years to mention the possibility to me, especially if they have the knowledge experience of this rare cancer. The doctors were kind to my face, but have refused to call me back. I believe they know their mistake and are embarrassed. no accountability is an awful trait for a doctor. Not only do i not endorse them, i would absolutely avoid them. 2. I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know there are such things as animal specialists like cat dermatologist, and internal medicine vets whose practice is more advanced than the general practitioners (most vets). If you suspect there’s something wrong with your best friend , go to a specialist. You know your pet better than anyone else, and sadly that includes doctors. I knew the scab that never healed was strange but i NEVER thought it could be cancer. Since it’s been years it has spread across his little perfect face. We’ve had to cut part of his ear off, and now with the positive biopsy we’re going to see a pet oncologist. All of this could have been avoided if a doctor recognized it the first time I brought him in and removed that little area. I’m sad, angry and frustrated. 😭❤️

A huge thank you to the entire staff. You've always been great to my dogs but today, my baby had a stick wedged and stuck in her mouth. You brought us right in, and two seconds later, the stick was out!!!! Pepper and I are very grateful!

Love everything about Gardiner Animal Hospital. Have been going there over ten years. Dr Ally is the best with my epi-cat Shirley.

Bought my pup in for a lump on her abdomen that appeared suddenly and she was in obvious pain. No blood work, no x rays and no ultrasound were completed. She was sent home with antibiotics for a skin condition and steroids. Brought her back 3 days later as it got worse. Did a biopsy and was told results would be available within 4 days. They never called - we ended up following up ourselves after two emergency visits with other vets (no appointments available in Gardiner) only to find out she has cancer. Date of results available on the paperwork when picked up was 6/15. Called to follow up for results on 6/19. This has been our vet for 30 years and I'll never bring another pet here.
