About

Inland Empire Veterinary Imaging

IEVI is based in the Pet Emergency Clinic and Referral Center and is dedicated to providing diagnostic imaging services on a referral basis to veterinarians in Spokane, Coeur d’ Alene, and the surrounding area.

Imaging services include diagnostic ultrasonography of the abdomen, heart, thorax and musculoskeletal system. Diseases affecting the adrenal glands, pancreas, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, congenital and acquired cardiac diseases are routinely diagnosed using spectral, color and power Doppler technology.

Ultrasound guided biopsy and aspiration of abnormal organs can be performed and offers a safe, less invasive diagnostic test when compared to exploratory surgery.

Computed tomography (CT) was added in 2008 and allows three dimensional radiographic imaging of the body. Conditions involving the central nervous system (brain tumors), vertebral column (herniated intervertebral discs), joints, nasal passages, and body cavities can be evaluated. CT is a valuable diagnostic tool that can evaluate the extent of a disease process and provide valuable information for pre-surgical planning.

Radiographic interpretation on challenging cases is another important service offered by IEVI. Our goal is rapid turnaround on radiographic studies with written or verbal reports provided within 24 hours of receipt.

I grew up with my aunt's dog Trigger. My uncle said she ran up to him that morning before the cat scan with a sock in her mouth wanting to play. He dropped her off thinking the worst that could happen was the surgery itself the following day.

I have a few questions for your practice:
1) How can you not notice a dying dog if you claim the room was staffed throughout the entire cat scan?
2) How can you guarantee the safety of other dogs coming in if this has happened?
3) If she did in fact have "low blood pressure", why weren't preventative or proactive measures taken?
4) Why would you knowingly agree placing a 10 year old dog's anesthesia in the hands of an inexperienced tech? Where were you?
5) Did you at least have the decency to disclose what really happened in that room, or did you leave it at "veterinary error"? Did Trigger choke on her own vomit after you and your team pumped her full of so much anesthesia she couldn't breathe? We are at least entitled to the truth no matter how horrible it may be. We have a right to know. I urge you to give my aunt and uncle the peace of mind they deserve, it is the least you can do.
6) You sent back a refund and "veterinary error" fax, as some sort of compensation for Trigger being killed. Are you guys serious?

I pray that this hasn't happened to other dogs and their owners at your clinic and that you will take all necessary measures to ensure this does not ever happen again under your "watch". Otherwise, Trigger will have died in vain. Other people need to be warned about this. There needs to be a higher degree of responsibility and repercussions for incidents like this in veterinary practice. Whoever is responsible for this happening should not be in veterinary practice period if they are this incompetent and careless. I don't care what circumstances there were, there is absolutely no excuse for this happening.

Dr. Ramirez, you were just as responsible for overseeing this surgery as anyone else in that room. Trigger had at least 5 years left. So many people in our family loved Trigger, she was such a good girl. You do not know what you have taken from our family, particularly from my uncle. They were best friends and would walk together down the hill to get the mail every morning.

The fact that you are even continuing to practice after a 100% preventable "veterinary error " resulting in the death of our dog is extremely disturbing. How many others have there been? How many more will there be? We will never forget Trigger, but even more unfortunate, we will never forget how Trigger was killed and how preventable this was. I cry myself to sleep just thinking of her last hours in your hands. I imagine the worst because I don't know what really happened. We have no peace of mind because of this and hate the fact she had to die this way.

I hate the fact that you would rather protect your business and continue to put more people's dogs at risk rather than tell us what truly happened in that room. I think you are just too ashamed to admit what really happened under your watch, and frankly, you should be.

We drove 7 hours to get a can scan for our 11 year old Golden Retriever, who had a non-invasive tumor in her mouth. Otherwise she was in excellent health. We provided current blood tests and all medical records. We dropped her off at about 10:30 am. At 1 they called to tell us she was dead; no reason was provided. Trigger has always responded well to anesthesia. They told us she had a drop in blood pressure in the middle of the x-ray but they chose to continue the procedure and not address this. They put her into recovery in unstable condition. The vet tech said she was with her but we think she was lying. Who would watch a dog die and do nothing? We think they just left her there and we back and find her dead. They did not monitor her bp or heart in recovery, even though they knew she had low blood pressure. They were cranking people in and out and we feel she died of neglect in their hands. We are devastated. Do not go here,
