Anyone have any experience at the Animal Hospital at the University in Saskatoon?
They are tremendous. I wish our human health care was this good. Five years ago, one of our dogs became paralyzed in his hind quarters. It was hectic in that it happened on a long weekend, we couldnt get into our regular vet etc etc. By time we did, she said you have to decide to do surgery or not and you have to decide now, you can only go to Saskatoon or Minneapolis and it could cost $10,000. Long story short, we took him to Saskatoon which was an adventure because time was of the essence so we decided to fly. Westjet didnt fly direct and wouldnt allow an animal in the passenger area. Air Canada would only allow use of their animal carrier and our dog barely fit. Ended up missing the first flight. Anyway....had a great experience in Saskatoon.
Unfortunately, our poor dog had the same thing happen late Tuesday. Hectic again for different reasons. Our vet is on maternity leave. The other vet at her practice would examine him but their X-Ray machine broke. We're in the middle of a move etc etc.
So again, long story short, we hop in the car and drive all night, stay all day and drive back. I just got back. Exhausted. But the little guy had the surgery. We'll have to go get him again. But the hospital now has a patient liaison. Its really a great experience and takes a lot of stress off when you are in an emergency situation with your animal.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had been out there and give a thumbs up to the place. Top notch.
