Pros: I don't ever have to go back there
Cons: Too quick to make money and not the right diagnosis.
Angel Memorial is too money hungry. I use to donate money to them every year. The first incident I had with them was two years ago when my six year old mini daschund died and they never told me why or how or anything. Just she died and how do you want to pay? Then about two months ago I had to bring my "baby" Jack in to the ER because he was extremely lethargic and could not stand up. He was also bleeding from the gums. I was frantic. Angel Memorial told me, after a very brief examination, that Jack needed a very expensive surgery and that he had a degenerative disease that caused his ACL to tear and eventually rupture, at the ripe old age of TWO YEARS OLD! I don't think so. Took Jack to his primary Vet the very next day where the Dr. looked at Jack, took his temp. and gave him a test right in front of me. About five minutes later I found out Jack had Lyme's disease. One month and meds later he's a puppy again. I'll never go back there. And they will never get a dime from my pocket again!

I am sorry you had a bad experience with the MSPCA. They should have been nicer w/r/t your doggy who died, that must have added extra hurt for you. I hope you informed someone so that the person who acted this way could be instructed on more caring ways.
As for the Lyme Disease, it can be hard to diagnose. I'm glad you found a vet who recognized it.

I tried to inform someone of all the problems and the only response I got was that I was told that they would leave a message with the person that I seemed to have a problem with and they would email me. Nothing was ever done and I didn't hear back from anyone. I am very disappointed with this hospital.
