DANGER: Found guilty of malpractice after giving cat third degree burn. We paid hundreds of dollars to have our cat's teeth cleaned at Cole Park and while she was under anesthesia, due to a misuse or malfunction of heating pads, they severely burned her on almost 10% of her body. The burn that they gave her was misdiagnosed by 3 different doctors 3 separate times. Our cat was left without pain medicine or proper treatment for four weeks.
We took her to the ER as soon as we found out what really happened and after seeing a specialty surgeon, she had the entirety of the burn and the dead tissue underneath removed and the two sides of her skin were stitched together. They cost her 4 weeks of pain, a $1500 surgery, a week in emergency medical boarding, and weeks of recovery. It is shocking it did not cost her life. She was a perfectly healthy four-year-old cat. None of this was necessary.
They volunteered little support or apology, only offering to attempt to fix the burn with a procedure they were not qualified to perform. We have trusted all four of our cats to Cole Park Veterinary Hospital for many years and are heartbroken by the betrayal of both our loyalty and our trust, and by the lack of any sincere concern or remorse on the part of their staff.
I would not wish our experience on anyone. I would, however, strongly urge you to think twice before placing your animal in their care.
