Response to rondogg p (Mrs. Perez):
Response to rondogg p.
Mistakenly, rondogg p had given her pet two doses of insulin. Not the hospital! Her pet was hospitalized for the day and her blood glucose levels were checked numerous times and she did not develop low blood glucose and she went home uneventfully. rondogg P then returned later to purchase more insulin, but declined to have the doctor look at her pet. Later rondogg P returned, believing there may be a bladder infection. X-rays were taken of her chest and abdomen. The chest was clear and the bladder was abnormal. Her pet was transported to a local emergency clinic for the night where her treatment of IV fluids and antibiotics continued. Unfortunately, a large pulmonary thrombic embolism is a fatal complication of an illness and rondogg p's pet succumbed later that day at the specialty center, not at Newport Hills Animal Hospital.
Unfortunately, her pet had acquired a severe form of a bladder infection that resulted in the secondary complication of a fatal pulmonary embolism. This illness could not have been foreseen, could not have been prevented and once the embolism entered the lungs, her pet would not have survived at any care facility.
Mrs. Perez (rondogg p) is grief stricken and has chosen to blame Drs. Lyle and Whitaker and the staff of Newport Hills Animal Hospital for the loss of her dog. Her posts on the internet are without any historic factual basis and are an attempt to smear the respected reputations of the staff of Newport Hills Animal Hospital.

Thier Incompetence Caused the Death of My Dog.:
Do not trust the veterinarians at Newport Hills Animal Hospital.
Dr. Whitaker and Dr. Lyle both failed to diagnose a simple bladder infection that my dog had. After bringing her in several times for issues indicating a possible bladder infection, both of these incompetent veterinarians told me that my dog was fine and charged me nearly $400. each time that I brought her in.
She eventually developed toxic blood poisoning and died a horribly painful and agonizing death.
Their final bill was $1300. The emergency hospital bill was $1800. An autopsy was performed at an independent location for another $1500.
When I brought her in the day before she died, the staff was slow, apathetic and unconcerned. Dr. Lyle did not recognize the dire situation and did little to try to save her.
As consumers, we trust people who hold themselves out to the public, as professionals, to know what they are doing in their chosen profession, and there is a certain implied trust.
These incompetent and negligent individuals overcharge and misdiagnose. Dr. Whitaker doesn't know enough to follow basic protocol and Dr. Lyle’s default answer to almost anything that he cannot figure out, is that your pet probably has cancer.
I have spoken to three people recently who were told by Dr. Lyle that their dogs had cancer when in fact they did not have cancer. That is what Dr. Lyle told me the day before my dog died.
The fact is that these individuals are not very good at diagnosing and dealing with what they are presented with beyond giving routine vaccinations and selling flea medicine.
Do not risk your pet’s life at this place. There are plenty of good alternatives.
