Forestville Animal Hospital may be a good Vet if there is no emergency with your dog but when there’s a emergency they lack urgency and medical advice. My dog had an incident while playing and hit his eye. I called their emergency line where you talk directly to the Vet, he told me to give my dog aspirin and human eye drops & since the eye is still intact he should be fine. I still was uneasy & noticed changes in his eye. Two days later I called them again but they were to busy to fit me in nor would they accept a picture of my dogs eye. I was told if I ‘wanted’ to, I could go to the emergency pet hospital in orchard park. This is during COVID 19 which all other vets were open to work with you. Calling the emergency pet hospital in orchard park they referred me to the animal optometrist directly since it’s a eye injury. Talking to the emergency pet hospital, the optometrist and the new vet I go to now, I learned that aspirin is harmful to animals. It can cause internal bleeding and human eye drops shouldn’t be applied to dogs. My dog should have been seen right away. If the vet at Forestville animal hospital would have just accepted a picture of my dogs eye the 2nd time I called when I noticed changes or had the knowledge to understand the urgency of any eye injury then I could have saved my dogs eye. I’m now told and dealing with having my dogs’ eye removed due to lack of immediate attention. Even after calling Forestville Animal Hospital (they received all information from optometrist) the receptionist didn’t care, gave an insincere apology and the initial vet I talked to never called me to apologize or recognize his error or even follow up on the incorrect advice he gave. It hurts to write this review because knowing that just by having the right vet my dogs eye could have been saved. I don’t want anyone else to experience what I went through! If you care at all about your pet during a emergency don’t go to this vet! It could mean their life. Not only is this a emotional hardship but it’s a finacial hardship as well..
