Animal trust Barnsley

Animal trust BarnsleyLottie 8 years French bulldogShe became unwell Friday 11 October. My daughter took her to the Animal trust in Barnsley. They did blood tests and found she had an infection, they gave antibiotocs, but over the weekend she became worse, they made another appointment Monday 14th October. They did an ultra scan and found she had pymetra which is a life threatening illness which was poisoning her uterus, our dog couldnt walk and was really struggling in pain, she was sent home with an appointment for the following day. She stopped breathing at 1.30am Tuesday. We raised a complaint the following day but heard nothing no answers why she wasn't kept in and operated on that day. We haven't even had an apology. Heartbroken family. Lola 5 years French bulldogMy sons dog had a seizure, so he took her to the vets Animal trust, Barnsley. They did blood tests and confirmed she had epilepsy, the vet told my son to go back for medication Friday the 1st November, which he did and the receptionist was so rude telling him they didn't have the medication and he shouldn't have come until they had text him and he was sent home. The following day or beautiful lola had some more seizures and he had to find an emergency vet as they wasn't open. He took her to the vets that deal with animal trust called Abbeys. They were shocked how he'd been treated and gave Lola diazepan this stopped the seizures for the rest of the day, he checked on her throughout the night and the next morning at 6am she had a massive seizure and he wouldn't come out of it. We lost both our beloved dogs in 2.5 weeks of each other, this heartbroken our family and we are all devaststed. These were two illnesses that could have been treated to give our beautiful dogs a longer life. We feel they're has been neglect from the practice and don't want this to happen to someone else. We want answers and will be taking it further to Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
