In memory of my Gizmo

zhohara
By zhohara

This is to make sure what happened to my little baby yorkshire terrier Gizmo does NOT happen to your precious pet. AVOID AT ALL COSTS the Veterinary Surgery Doha (www.dohavets.com) if you can.
I took my baby (a very tiny 7 month old yorkie) for a routine neutering. I spoke to the doctor to make sure she could do the procedure and she assured me she could, with no problem. She also told me she had to remove several of his teeth during the same procedure.
Not questioning a vet, I left my precious baby with the doctor. 3 hours later they called me and told me to come and get him, that he needed to be released. I brought him home, bought him a few baby onsies so he wouldn't be able to chew his incision and assumed he would get well. A day later, he was behaving strangely, between lethargic and playful and back to lethargic but clearly in distress most of the time. By the evening, he was gone. He has a few seizures, starting bleeding from his nose and mouth and passed away....
I had a vet in the US that had examined him not 6 weeks before tell me that he was TOO small to be given the medication he was given, too small to have 20 teeth taken out, and too small to have been neutered, it was too much for his body...the vet should have known this and should never have done this much if anything to him. Be careful with your babies.... AVOID this vet....

i am so sorry for ur dog i tottaly understand what u went throu

i love animals ,i have a persian cat for 7 months now and thank god he is healthy, i used to go to the veterinay surgery clinic for rutine check ups and vaccinations.

one day i found a sick stray cat and decided to take him at home as well .first i had to take him to the vet,he was really sick they advised me its gonna cost a lot ,it wasnt a problem for me so i told them so. just take care of him make him better so i can take him home. doctor walter is retarded from my point of view . for one week i visited the cat twice a day to see if he is getting better..every time i noticed there is no improvement,i was always remined that its a stray cat and he needs time .on one occasion i visited him and the cat had a huge infection on his tail bleeding and he was in a lot of pain and pale .when i asked the dr he said the cat is ok,i asked him to follow me behind and take a look at the cat's tail and started telling me thats its ok because the antibiotic he administred was so strong till the next day he will be better.

the following day i got a call asking for my permision to amputate the tail cas the infection could be deadly....its a really long and painfull story...

we couldnt save his life i wanted to name him cesar...

they apologised after for mutilating him .

they could have done their job.. all of them dr walter dr natasha ,kim they are all incompetents,they do anything for money,,

please dont take ur pets there

They removed what they said were his milk teeth (he didn't seem to have lost them) and a few with tartar on them.... It just seemed like all of this was too much for his little body....

I'm so sorry to hear that. I once had my cat in their cattery and personally I didn't like it. I go to Qatar Veterinary Center and so far so good.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
