State: Iowa
Hospital: IVRC (Iowa Veterinary Referral Center)
Address: 4631 Merle Hay Road, Des Moines, IA 50322
Cost: 2,705.00
Date of surgery: February 9, 2015
What was included in cost (MRI?, days stay, ER? PT? meds for home, sling, etc.) : Myelogram, Hemilaminectomy, all supplies, 3 day stay one in intensive care and two in basic, All meds
Comments: I will say these people are awesome. They are open 24-7 with full staff at all times (i dont think they charge after for after hours or emergency fees). During my dogs stay there they were all very nice and accommodating as far as moving him to a room with couches so i could feed him and hold him with no rush on time and constantly calling me to keep me updated on everything (there was never a time where too much time passed where I felt I needed to call them). Post-release I have been back a couple times.. They have never charged me an additional time.. the Vet has worked with me on all my concerns and they provided me with free Dogsure, tube of nutri-cal, and a tray of assorted foods to try to encourage Ziggy to eat. They are also not charging for the Urinalysis they did last night for me or the scheduled two week and 6 week follow ups.

I feel I should also post about my normal Vet. State: Iowa Hospital: Ankeny Animal Health Clinic Address: 2210 West 1st Street, Ankeny, IA 50023 Cost: 12 Cupcakes Date of surgery: February 9, 2015 What was included in cost (MRI?, days stay, ER? PT? meds for home, sling, etc.) : Consultation and assistance Comments: My dogs normal vet Dr. Dotzenrod was amazing Monday morning. I walked in and he stopped what he was doing to assist me and Ziggy.. he knew right away what it was and looked Ziggy over. He then Called IVRC and had them prepped with all the info and my files for when i walked in the door they were prepared to get Ziggy started right away. He did not charge me a dime for his assistance or for the visit like i see others have been.. but I did drop off a dozen cupcakes from a delicious bakery here in town.
