**Warning: We Had A Horrible Experience at Arnold Pet Station**
On Saturday morning we took our foxhound to Arnold Pet Station for a night stayI arrived to pick him up this morningHe appeared to be in a state of shock and did not seem to recognize usHe was covered head to toe in some sort of wet stench (maybe a combo of spilled water in the kennel, food, feces, vomit...idk)He has several sores and had hives all over his bellyHis gums appeared pale and his feet were not steadyAfter looking at the bottom of his feet, we saw irritation between his padsHis eyes were gazed to the point that I wondered if he was sedatedI was trying so hard not to cryThe tech who walked him out seemed cluelessMaybe new(?) I can not believe she even brought him to me in the condition he was inI think the manager and receptionist were also stumped that she brought him to me drenched and smelling so awful
The veterinarian was called out and she did a full blood panel and checked him over for internal bleeding because his extremities seemed to look bruised to me (maybe lack of circulation?)I insisted on seeing where he was keptThe kennel had not been cleaned yetThere was food on the floor and some of his hair caught on the door barsThe water had spilled everywhere making a mess with the foodThere was no blanket of any kindJust the cement floorTwo techs were not offering any information on what happenedThey just seemed confusedThe tech who initially walked him out suggested (when asked about him being wet ALL OVER) that "maybe he drooled a lot"
I tear up just thinking about that first sight I had of him being walked out, listless and not greeting us
The choice of no stars is not an option, so consider the one star for the veterinarian that examined our boy and seemed sorrowful
