This is NOT a recommendation but a BEWARE. I took a very pregnant English bulldog to Berks Animal Emergency in PA today. It all started at 2:00 P.M. I noticed Ellie dripping green fluids. A dreadful sign, it means the placenta is torn away from the puppies and the sooner you get the pups out the better the chance of survival. So I called Berks animal emergency and told them I what I have have, they said how soon can you be here, I said 15 min. They said OK we'll notify the Dr and get ready.
So I RUSHED! and made it by 2:15, they admitted us almost immediately and then took us to a room and we sat and sat and sat for 2½ hours!!!!!
I practically screamed at the nurses every 15 minutes, what is taking so long?
Poor Ellie was forced to be on a cold concrete floor the whole time... her belly and nipples were cold. She was also having contractions and was very miserable.
Finally at 5:00 P.M. they took her in and told me to go home.
Well at 6:30 I get a phone call, it's the Dr. saying he wants to introduce himself before he does the C-section! I just about fainted, why on earth is introducing himself way more important then taking care of my dog....

I have been crying all afternoon and I just had to vent.......

I am still waiting to hear the outcome


Brenda.... how is everything?

Abby (my Sweetie Head 10.24.11-11.23.12) and Otis
I'm going to recommend ALL of Abby's doctors. Each of them are great and have gone well above and beyond the call of normal veterinary care

Rutherford Animal Hospital
755 Rutherford Ave
Rutherford NJ 07070
201-933-4111

Dr Sing has given me all of her off hours contact information in case we have a question or crisis. Most times I don't even have to make an appointment to see her, if she is there we can go in.

Red Bank Animal Hospital (already recommended here but I wanted to second that opinion)
This is where Abby's kidney doctors are. Dr Tamulevicus even got in touch with me while on vacation in Ireland to check on Abby's progress.

Holistic Pet Care
125 Paterson Ave
Little Falls, NJ 07424
973-256-3899

Dr Buchoff is a past president of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association and the latest addition to Abby's team. He is amazing and even makes house calls! He explains everything in the simplest terms and I always leave there knowing more than I walked in knowing.

I have to brag about our Vet, Dr Beste in Middletown Delaware (the Vet list needs added, as there isnt a Vet for Delaware on the referral list, and he is THE BEST)

http://bestvetyet.com/main/
[h=1]DVM David Beste
Middletown Veterinary Hospital
[/h] 366 Warwick Road, Middletown, DE 19709

Dr Beste has other vets working for him too, so its a full service Vet Hospital -

Dr. Beste is retired from breeding bulldogs, but his staff is extremely knowledgeable and highly recommended when it comes to bulldogs -
We have even boarded Gizmo and Hershey with the Middletown Veterinary Hospital -

Gizmo has been Spayed and had her Tail Amputated at MVH WE LOVE DR. BESTE and his Staff ! ! ! ! !

Dr Butler at Valparaiso animal hospital is amazing. She sees many bulldogs. we love her and tank does to he gets so excited when he sees her. he gets anxiety when it comes to the exam tables so she gets on the floor with him and does his exam that way so he dont have any anxiety issues. she is very caring and makes sure you understand everything before you leave.

Dr. Bob Cunningham is at the Banfield Pet Hospital in Spanish Fort, AL. This man was our vet in Hattiesburg, MS for 4 years and I would not HESITATE ONE SECOND to drive the 3 hours to see him if I needed to. He is an amazing person, vet, and he graduated from the grand home of the Mississippi State Bulldogs. He has never led me wrong, and he is just incredible. I normally wouldn't take my dog to a vet in Petsmart, but if you are in this area, you have to go to Bob. I can't tell you how blessed I was to have him in my life when Dexter was having so many issues and how wonderful he was to work with on all aspects, I literally cried when he moved.
