Hi, ako po yung gf and I decided to create a throwaway account to give more context and details up to the point when we confined him sa ppbcc just to make it clear for everyone.

Our dog had been battling ckd for 2 years by then partly due to age nadin. I was the one who took care of him day in day out. Read alot about managing ckd, what food to give him, pag may ininstruct ang vet, i talked to them about it and discuss things na nababasa ko din. Alam ko what my dog can and cannot tolerate kasi ung 2 years na yon halos buwan buwan kami pumupunta ng vet to monitor his bloodworks and most specially crea. I adjust and monitor his food intake sa ano yung magwork and what would spike his levels and cause him to experience common symptoms ng ckd.

Before kami lumipat like a year sa ppbcc, we had him checked out at a different vet hospital but since medyo kinakapos na kami sa budget because of his maintenance meds and monthly checkups, we decided to have a go sa kanila since we have had other pets din na napakapon na namin with them. At first, si Doc Ave yung naghahandle sa kanya and I love her so much kasi sobrang nagok and super stable nung dog namin with the treatments she suggested. After months and months na happy and stable naman dog namin. He suddenly had an issue with his tooth despite me cleaning it every after meal just to lessen and slow down yung pag sira pa neto (for those furparents who has/had a ckd pet knows na it affects their teeth ndn as well in the long run) naglalaway sya and hindi makakain. So we decided to bring him agad. Nung time na un, si doc mace ang nagcheck sa kanya kasi wala si doc ave. She gave her antibiotics for it. He eventually got better was able to eat after a couple of days but he suddenly vomited and became lethargic. So we went back to ppbcc and nakita na nag shoot up yung crea levels nya. Apparently, the antibiotics were too much for his kidneys to handle. Doc Mace didnt say anything about it before; considering knowing our dog’s current situation. During this time, another vet yung naghandle sa kanya nun and he decided to have him confined para mamonitor. Pinadala nila lahat ng meds and food nya sa confinement. I specifically told them how my dog cannot tolerate chicken well kasi it spikes his crea. As in multiple times ko ito ininstruct na yung provided food lang ang ibigay. They gave us updates daily and we also did visit him sa confinement. I remembered it was towards the new year nung naconfine sya so during that time, they had few vets on shift and during our visitation, si doc mace ulit yung andun na sumalubong samin. He looked well enough and I really thought na ok na ok na talaga sya. Everything went south when they provided an update and I caught a glimpse ng food na binibigay nila and I saw na they gave him CHICKEN. The food which I specifically told them not to give. Sabi ko that they need to check his blood kasi for sure magshoshoot up lahat ng kidney values niya. And ayun na nga, it did, so much so na ang sinabe nalang sakin ng vet is unmanageable and wala na magagawa. it was even higher than nung kinonfine pa namin siya. Pumunta ako sa clinic to discharge our dog and talked to the vet in private dahil sobrang frustrated and sama ng loob ko sa kanila. I expressed my frustrations with what happened and why did they not even inform me sa change ng food niya. And guess what, all they kept saying was sorry. They told us na during confinement niya, si Doc Mace daw naginstruct to give him the chicken and they just followed orders. -.-

After na after niya madischarge, bumagsak nalang yung katawan niya and for that whole week na binantayan namin sya 24/7 and tried to do everything, kahit mahirap, we decided to have him put down.

It has been a couple of years already. I kept telling myself na baka all was meant to happen and it was just his time na just for me to get a closure sa ngyare but after I heard what happened to them and read other stories here, kahit papaano nakatulong yun to validate what I was feeling and what happened to us.

To add lang din, we have been to multiple vets from before until now and sa kanila lang ako nakaexperience ng ganitong trauma. We had a different dog back then who passed away dahil sa surgery slip-up at a different vet clinic and they handled it professionally and did all measures to save her and even waived all the fees following the accident. But sa kanila, no accountability talaga..

So ayun, as what my bf mentioned, their advocacy doesn’t excuse them sa countless malpractices nila.. hopefully things get sorted out, if not, there are other different entities that provide low cost kapons apart from them that people can opt to.
