Four Paws Holistic Veterinary Hospital

I have a 14 year old dog who had a bladder infection that kept on coming back. I thought I would go to a holistic vet for a treatment because none of the antibiotics worked. Dr. Edoff said that she could give me some bladder herbs but without knowing why the infection was coming back, the herbs may not work. So she did an ultrasound and found some small bladder stones. I was very nervous about doing surgery on my old girl so she said we could give her a food to dissolve them and we would need antibiotics to treat the infection. I wasn't planning on spending this kind of money but I am glad I did. She did a culture on the urine and found there was only one antibiotic that worked. She was on the special food for 3 months and I just got the results of the follow up ultrasound. NO STONES! And that means NO Surgery for my old girl! I am so glad I went to Four Paws. Thank you!

I am devastated to tell the community this establishment did not practice appropriate medical care. As a direct result of that unfortunate fact my dog died within three weeks of being in Dr. E’s care. His first visit As a Mobil, eating, barking, smiling Dog was on July 6th. He died July 23 unable to move, sad, and hungry. My dog went to the vet for a limp of the leg and for us to find out better ways to take care of him he had just turned 10 years old and was considered a senior now(at that point). We wanted to do our best for him as he started his older years. She ran a tick screen and found two tick born diseases. She said a limp was common with these tick born diseases and we should of course treat them right away. Within 48hrs of the antibiotic, he was throwing up twice a day. Everything he ate he would just throw it up directly after taking the antibiotic. 1.breakfast. 2. Med 3. Throw up.nRepeat with din.nI called this doctor to find out what our next steps were. She advised me to keep giving the meds. A week later He was 6lbs less.nmy partner and I called again for advice. No one called us back.n4days later we received a call back and we had by that time ourselves stoped the meds out of common sense. He obviously could not take them as his body was telling us. Her advice on that call was to stop the meds.nLess then 48hrs later my partner took our dog in because he was breathing pretty heavy. It was a hot/ humid day and older dogs do not breath well in the heat. She said she would take a listen to his heart/ lungs and also give a shot to settle the stomach since he had an upset stomach for some time due to the meds. She also administered an amoxicillin shot- this was to try and re-address the two tick born diseases... even though we had agreed to stop meds and let his body reset.nShe told us if the breathing continued to take him to the ER. But otherwise he was ok.nThe breathing subsided, most likely from being in the AC. He even ate his dinner. He seemed extra tired and a bit wobbly when he walked that night but the doctor told us the shot would make him tired. So, we didn’t question it.nThe next morning We woke up together. He was alert and wagging his tail but would not get up. he was unable to move his body. I realized this as I grabbed his leash and he stayed laying down and peed on himself. He was not in control of his body. It was as if he was so so weak or almost paralyzed. He died an hour later. We took his body to a different vet.nWe requested and paid for an autopsy. We were angry and upset to find out he passed away from a Bad and unusual reaction to antibiotics. The vet that took in his body was very sad for us as he explained “this should not have happened”. He asked us if he was ever on any antibiotics ever in his life that didn’t work with him. We said yes for almost two weeks before he died. His exact words were “that’s a shame” . I feel that this particular practice assumes because something hasn’t happened to them yet it just can’t. such as a bad reaction to antibiotics.nI also feel the level of attention given to individual patients is not priority. I say this because for almost two weeks I was advised to continue giving my animal something that was literally making him sick. He could have lived another year or two with Lyme. Sometimes antibiotics are not the best course of treatment. Hold your animals close and when they are telling you something listen to them not the vet. They know their body. Just as you would know your own. It’s no different. With an extremely heavy heart I advise the public to please not use this vet for ANYTHING that is not simple and routine. PLZ do not allow this doctor to administer meds to your animal unless you are 100% they r not sensitive to any kind of med. she will not recognize normal signs like throwing up, and de-hydration as signs to stop a med or look for a different course of treatment.

I brought my puppy to this vet because she was given a death sentence by 2 other vets. Dr Edoff gave her some supplements and did some acupuncture and she is almost 100 percent better now. No, she wasn't inexpensive, but my puppy is now healthy and happy and guess what?...she is worth it!nI'm sticking with this vet.

Our Golden Was diagnosed with advanced stage melanoma cancer. She was given 3 months to live,. We searched and found Dr. Edoff who immediately began with the RIFE treatments along with other holistic remedies. Our dog was able to live healthily and happily and pain-free before passing peacefully more than a year later. Am thankful for such dedication and attention from the entire staff.

Bait and switch... My partner called before going on to find out how much the total cost would be. $170 they said. We went in and decided to go with the $190 test instead of the $170 one and then another $15 item. So we expected $35 more than quoted. Our total? $420! They knew other costs while on the phone it turned out, but didn't tell us, until it was time to pay, even though we were asking throughout the appointment about -- what does this cost, what does that cost
