MSPCA SNAP clinicJack was just recently neutered at the MSPCA SNAP clinic. It's behind Angell but I'm not sure if it's separate. Anyway, I had a wonderful experience with them. So didn't Jack! Because we met their financial limit, for $125 they neutered Jack (who had an undescended testicle), gave him a complete physical, a Heartworm test and a month's woth of medication, a dose of Frontline Plus and a Home Again microchip! They would have given him his rabies and distemper shots if he needed them. Oh and they also found an abdominal hernia and fixed it! All this for $125! Can't beat it! |
They almost killed my cavy friend AloysiusThe staff at this clinic has no clue how to treat exotic pets like a cavy (guinea pig). After having him wait for 3+ hours without any news, they charged my owner $500+ and almost killed my cavy friend Aloysius, totally misdiagnosing him, despite clear symptoms and an illness very typical for 99% of guinea pigs (vitamin C deficiency). My owner took him away there and found a lifesaving exotics specialist, who treated him for $60 including meds (his name is The Odd Pet Vet (Dr Greg Mertz) and he has clinic hours at VCA Weymouth and Needham's Chestnut Street animal clinic). When my owner asked his money back, Angell staff just ignored his request for a refund and never replied to phone calls nor a registered letter. They even suggested in the diagnosis that it was my owner's fault that Aloysius was sick, by suggesting that 'environmental factors' could be the cause of his sickness (typical MSPCA talk). When we asked for a report what they had fed him and what fluids they had given him, the Angell staff was not able to produce any records of that. When we visited the lifesaving Odd Pet Vet Greg Mertz, we encountered various owners of exotics who had similar horrendous experiences at Angell. posted: April 3rd, 2008 |
The Most Excellent Cardiac Veterinary Care!Dr. Rapaport at the Angell Medical Center took very good care of my severe HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy). My quality of life was enhanced by the care me and my family received here. I lived over a year and a half after they said I would not live much past a few months! |
