Beach Pet Hospital

I had been a long time customer of Beach Pet. I had been bringing my dog there for 6 years. This past May I noticed my dog had blood in his stool, as most people would be I was concerned so I took him in for an exam I was told by Dr. Imrich he probably had a worm of sorts in his stool. I was given some powder and antibiotics. It did not clear up and I brought him back in after he had hurt himself jumping off furniture about two weeks later when I addressed the blood again. I was given more antibiotics this time two weeks worth because obviously when theres a problem throw more antibiotics at it. Also was told my dog had a shoulder strain he said a few days rest he would be fine.



Nope.



My dog remained with alot of pain and did not have full range of motion, and would throw fits if he moved his neck incorrectly. Why I could figure out that it was a neck issue and Dr. Im Rich could not is beyond me. So I brought him back in two days later and asked for a different vet.Thankfully Dr. Upchurch actually listened and did an xray showing inflammation in his spine. He was given pain killers and a sedative so that he wouldn't move too much.



A third trip shortly after proved the staff still to be incompetent as the blood was still there. I PCSed shortly after. Took my dog to the military vet where they had the sense to do a colonoscopy finding a tumor just inside of his rectum. I was told finding this tumor even two months ago would have been greatly beneficial for my dogs health not that Dr. Im Rich would care.



In short Beach Pet is far over priced for what they offer, shop around for a vet.



Oh and they have a crappy looking fake water fall thats been without water for about a year or so. Either fix it or take it down.
