At first it seemed fine and was close to home for my chocolate lab. He is 12 and doesnt enjoy trips to vet. 18mo of rx ointment in his eye to be told by a neighbor who is a vet that this is cancerous! THE HORROR I FELT!! He scheduled surgery for the next day!I HATE Knowing I went here and was misdiagnosed for nearly 2 yrs..while cancer was eating at his eyelid! Not sure what happened with this staff but could have easily been spreading and FATAL. #MostDisappointed
