Disappoint

NEW
I am writing this review to shed some light on Glenroy Vet Clinic. Our 16 year old Maltese dog had been seen over a number of years by Dr Tim. She did have a heart murmur and was put on meds a few years ago, under the care of The Animal Referral Hospital and doing extremely well, as I also introduced a holistic approach to this condition and must state once again miraculous improvement to her condition. Then we kept up occasional visits at Glenroy under Dr Tim. On the 9th of April 2024 we brought our little dog to Dr Tim as she had stopped eating and drinking on the previous day and were worried. She was showing signs of lock jaw and stiff hind legs. Dr Tim assessed her and literally told us she is old, frail and its time, but we were not about to euthanize our little dog. So we asked him to administer an arthritis injection thinking that her stiff legs were getting worse from that. He also recommended a steroid injection to increase her appetite. The next day things were getting worse, so we thought there is no other option but put her down as Dr Tim stated on the previous day. So made our way to Glenroy Vet clinic and that was the end of our little Maltese dog. This is the worst decision both my wife and I have ever undertaken. I was not in a good place after that and my mind was ticking, thinking something was not right with Dr Tim's diagnose, so made calls to two animal hospitals and 3 other larger vet clinics. I stated the issues our dog was having with its locked jaw, stiff hind legs and not been able to eat/drink. All of them said your dog seem like its got Tetanus and needs urgent medical attention and must be brought in immediately and put on the right Meds well that's too late. We have now euthanized our little dog on the miss diagnose from Dr Tim. After a discussion with Dr Tim, what I have stated above with other vet clinics ( TETANUS) he stated that he has never heard and come across Tetanus in dogs. Well Dr Tim for all the years you have been a vet your knowledge falls short, you have miss guided us to putting our dog down on your wrong diagnosis, you even admitted to this on the phone conversation we had after euthanizing our dog and to make things worse apologized. That's not going to bring back our dog. Now I'm not the type of person to criticize others and leave negative reviews, but this has taken its toll on me knowing we put our dog down unnecessarily. Its been 2 weeks now, I am not sleeping and feeling very stress thinking about what has taken place. Dr Tim our dog was not old and frail you have mentally destroyed us. Dr Tim if your not certain about something you should have referred us on. So I'm putting this out to all you pet owners

I recently purchased the so called famous Sorrento vanilla slice and was extremely disappointed. The custard was grainy and the pastry was not up to the standards and the costing of an $8.00 vanilla slice. Either reduce the cost of these substandard vanilla slices or up your game or don’t promote yourself as claiming to be such a great vanilla slice

Approximate cost: $8
