I WILL NEVER USE THIS VET AGAIN! My 9 year old dog started showing lameness. After a week, I noticed a very hard lump on her shoulder. I immediately thought cancer and made an appointment with Mountainview in Petersburg. After looking at the lump, they took 4 x-rays and told me that she had fractured a bone and that the knot was her bodies way of healing. It had created a calcium deposit over the fracture to help in healing. I was so relieved! They told us to limit her activity for 4-6 weeks. After about 4 weeks, I noticed another larger tumor on her neck and immediately went to South Branch Animal Hospital for a second opinion. The vet there said that the tumor on her shoulder could be moved so he didnt think it was a calcium deposit. After a biopsy on both tumors, it was discovered to be a very aggressive cancer. Unfortunately, because of the position of the tumor on her neck (being so close to major arteries and nerves), surgically removing the tumors wasnt an option. She is now having to do chemo to try to shrink the size of the tumors and improve her quality of life. If only the tumor had been examined more properly the first time, it could have been removed and possibly prevented the second tumor and the spread of the cancer. Now, I get to play the "what if" card and think that I could have increased her odds of beating this if I had just taken her to South Branch the first time...

I have always known this vets office was really good for taking in stray animals and finding them homes (I always see them posting on Facebook). I found a young stray kitten that I could not take in, so I called the office and the secretary could not have been more heartless. She obviously does not have any compassion for animals. Her exact words were "we dont take any cats in. So I really dont know what you should do" all of this was said in a very rude voice. I will not be returning to this office again.

I cannot say enough good things about this practice. Dr. Alt is fantastic! She is not only knowledgeable but very kind. I took her my very sick dog to see her. She was patient and explained everything so that I could understand. She was upfront with me about the costs and was willing to work within my budget. Katelyn is much better now. Many thanks to Dr. Alt and her wonderful staff.
