Do not take your beloved pets here!:
My dog had surgery and died the next day. Dr. Sheehy used my friend’s shirt to attach his drain tube (my friend offered when Dr. Sheehy said she didn’t know how she would attach it), very unprofessional. Dr. Sheehy released him too soon. He should've been walking but he wasn't and kept falling down when they tried to get him to the car. They had to get a stretcher and a guy from a business nearby to help get him in the car and then needed neighbors to get him in the house. I thought it was from the anesthesia, trusting them and if anything not right they wouldn't release him. I only found out by talking to other veterinarians after how my dog should’ve been acting. I picked him up right before closing and they wanted to go home. And since my dog did so great during surgery they didn't think anything would happen. They shouldn't have been comfortable releasing him and should've recommended the after hours hospital. I will never know the cause of death, but my dog had no symptoms before he laid down and never woke up. They never got him fully out of the anesthetic to see how he was reacting (plus he had a fentanyl patch after surgery) - that alone is an issue whether or not it caused his death. Dr. Sheehy and her practice manager Tracy continued to cover/lie to my face after my dog died, Tracy even going so far as to tell someone that called for me that my dog walked out (she was not there that day). Dr. Sheehy is not compassionate and has a very cold bedside manner, even after my dog died. But that's the least of your worries here. If she was that careless with my dog, she could be with your pet. My heart is broken and I will carry guilt the rest of my life. My dog was my everything, and I was his.
