La Plata Veterinary Clinic

We had our female dog spay there and a few days later she came down sick, so we got another appt for Dr. John to see her on a Thursday. I could tell she was extremely sick and he didn't know what to do with her and just said if she wan't any better by Monday to come back in to see what he could do. She would have been dead by then!! Having some medical experience I could tell she was doing well enough to wait 4 more days. So I called MU vet clinic in Columbia and they got her in Friday. The doctor there knew right away she was in bad shape. Then stuck her right into the ICU that day and kept her there for 10 days. When she got home my wife had to take off work for a week to change dressings and help her walk outside. I believe she got the infection from the clinic's poor sterilization practices when they did the spay. We never went back because if I can do a better job at diagnosis than the vet, that tells me it is terrible place to put your animals!!!
