  My experience was bad from the start and I wish I would have just stopped there. Unfortunately I went ahead and dropped my 11 week old puppy off at this location at 8:30 am on a Friday and picked him up the next morning at 9:00 am. My puppy was getting an ear crop surgery. I wasn't for the surgery but my boyfriend talked me into it. The day that I picked my puppy up I was given a peice of paper with very limited information. Nobody seems to talk to you when you are in there. I ended up calling just to ask questions about when to give his medication and if I needed to make an appointment to come back to get the stitches out. My puppy seemed very dirty, smelly, and shaken up. He was starving when he got home and had to poop a lot like he hadn't got to in days. Anyways, the paper said to take the tape off of the ears after five days. On the third day I felt very uncomfortable with the whole tapping situation. I began to smell the area that was tapped and thought it smelled a little bad. I had a gut feeling something was terribly wrong so I took him to the emergency clinic at Purdue University since it was New Year's Eve. As they took the tape off it was obvious the ears were very infected. The stitches were gaping and poorly done. And from there it gets worse...my puppy turned very pale and was having trouble breathing. They found his blood oxygen level was very low and they were questioning if he was going to make it. After his x-ray we found that he had aspiration pneumonia from the surgery. He was in an oxygen cage with an IV of antibiotics and an e-collar for three days. Thank god his health increased and we got to bring him home alive. His ears are still infected and he will continue to take antibiotics for months. He is still wearing the e-collar and has to have his ears cleaned twice a day. So far we have spent around $1,500 just to keep our puppy alive after leaving him at this vet. I called Dr. Yerk to tell her about my puppy and she didn't seem to care. She just said "good luck." I will never take any pet there ever again. I regret every minute of it and I think I should be refunded in some way even if it's not full payment. Save your money and your pet, don't choose this vet!!!!
