Banfield Pet Hospital

On Friday morning Oct 27, 2023, my husband drove the nearly 40 min drive to Banfield in Conyers to take our 2 minpins to what’s been their bi-annual checkup and any vaccinations. He picked them up that Fri afternoon, and we noticed when they got home, that Rudi was showing signs of dire distress, with Thor, who is a little heavier in size, not too far behind. They refused to eat, drink water, and had trouble walking. For the 1st time ever, Rudi was unable to stand up, jump up on the bed and their sofa, and within minutes, he suddenly disappeared for a few hours as we looked everywhere for him. We found him underneath the brush in the backyard, and immediately we rushed him to our local Vet here in town, who soon told us to rush him to Animal Hospital, because Rudi was dying. At the Animal Hospital we waited in a room, and only a few minutes later, they rushed us in to see him, because, they said he was dying, and had only seconds to live. We watched our boy die right there in front of us, and there was absolutely nothing none of us could do to save him. This also happened the year before, but thank God for having a good and caring Vet here in town who after Rudi got his shots, etc at Banfield that same day, but within hours went into convulsions that day in 2022, where someone had suggested that maybe Rudi received a little bit too much in one visit, including teeth cleaning. My family and I are so devastated, and also because our local Vet had to put Thor to sleep 3 days later, saying that both Thor and Rudi had some kind of cancer, but we never saw our boys sick one day, and their Vet Dr. Martin at Banfield never mentioned that to us, in the 11 yrs; 2 mos, we signed Rudi up with them as a puppy. The thing that bothers me is, when our local Vet called Banfield to say Rudi was very sick both times, Dr Martin (Banfield) has never bothered to call and inquire about Rudi’s condition, including Rudi and Thor’s immediate insufferable and painful death, only a few hours after they both had, what came to be their last and final bi-annual health check, at their scheduled appointment on Friday Oct 27, 2023 at 9 a.m. with their Veterinarian Pet Healthcare plan at Banfield in Conyers, GA. The next day, at Covington, GA Animal Hospital Sat. Oct 28, 2023, my husband and I, along with our adult son and daughter who was there with us, watched, as our wonderful forever healthy and happy family fur baby boy, “Rudi toots”, as I called him, stared at me (mommy) with those big brown eyes of his, while he lay on his side on the table in the hospital emergency room, and breathed his last breath. I want Banfield Conyers, Georgia to be held 100% accountable and responsible for our Rudi and Thor’s unnecessary painful and shocking death, because I will always believe, that our Rudi and Thor, horrifically died from an ‘overdose’ of an extra pet vaccination serum, whatever, etc, administered by ‘someone’ at that particular Banfield in Conyers, Georgia.
