Tri-County Veterinarians

Only worried about the money.He was my babies regular vet. Was refused two different times for an emergency appointment with 2 different fur babies. Both turned out to be true emergencies but he was to busy to see them. Would never take another fur baby there. Ok maybe I should have said only interested in the easy money, the kind that doesn’t really take a veterinary just their vet techs! And you were almost correct about the 20 other vets you just left out the words “More concerned about your pet”. And that’s exactly why you haven’t seen me in 2 years.

I brought my cat here a few months ago for throwing up and they did a radiograph and told us she was constipated and had an enlarged colon, so they decided to use Miralax for a little while mixed in with her food. It helped for a little while, but then she started throwing up again so we took her in again and they told us the same thing, constipation and to keep doing Miralax. The next days after that she continued to get worse, lethargic, no appetite, not grooming herself properly, losing a lot of weight, simply acting funny and weak, etc. We decided to make another appointment and they told us the exact same thing: constipation. We started to get confused and honestly, exhausted. At that most recent appointment they mentioned how her breathing was raspy also, but it was only due to the constipation as we were told. Through all of these appointments they never did blood work though. She got worse very quickly and I didn’t know how long she had left so I took her to SARVEC in St. Augustine. They said she obviously looked terrible and the first thing they did was put her on fluids and did blood work. The bloodwork showed that she had dangerously low blood sugar and they wanted to hospitalize her overnight to figure out why and to monitor her. We let them do this as this was my first pet and I loved her very deeply and found it to be worth the cost. They ended up finding out that she had developed FIP, so there was nothing they could do. We had to put her down. Obviously this enraged us, as we had been taking her to Tri-County and they told us it was just constipation. Now Dr. Springer is trying to say he offered bloodwork but we denied it because of the cost. That is not true at all. They did not offer blood work. Why would we say no to the bloodwork but keep bringing her back for more appointments that would cost me more money? The radiographs weren’t exactly cheap either. We just wanted to know what was wrong with our kitty. Now she is gone due to the negligence and malpractice of Dr. Springer. I hope to inform others of this so that they can take their pets somewhere that they will receive the best care possible, which is not at Tri-County Veterinarians.

We were traveling and my puppy got bite by something and his face swelled up so huge. We called the nearest vet which was this one. The lady that answered said they were too busy. I explained our situation and ask her to speak with the doctor. She did and he or she said No. They told me to go to the closet emergency vet. Which was is a different town and 30 miles away. The puppy survived no thanks to this vet. NEVER GO HERE THIS WAS OUTRAGEOUS!

Dr. Springer is a real veterinarian because he cares and has a high level of technical expertise. The staff is very kind and helpful A+. They talk to you, and at this point will not take our pets anywhere else. Thank you.
