Vet Going to Hold Weather Dog Hostage

On the 8th of December my Chef, Karl Sheran took the Weather Dog around 9:00am over to
Farmington, WV. to Babett Simms Animal Hospital for teeth cleaning and extractions, If
Needed. I was informed it would cost only $ 120.00 for cleaning plus from $ 5.00 to
$ 25.00 if she needed extractions. We had an agreement to pay down a check in the
amount of $ 200.00 to cover the cost and I agreed to post date a check for the 1st
of January to cover the extra cost if there was any Around 3:??pm Mona the Secretary
called and said that the Weather Dog was out of Surgery and I ask her what the total bill
was and she said Dr. Simms had not made out the Bill yet and the Chef could come after her.
I thanked her and hung up. Then I called Mona 3 times more after that wanting to know if
the bill was made out and she said NO.!! She said to send Karl, the Chef after her any how
And he went to pick up the Weather Dog. When he got there he gave Mona a $ 43.50 check that
I had owed Dr. Simms for 10 to 12 days previous of the 1st of December. They ask him where
the checks was and he said to call me and when Tammy called me I ask her what the bill was
and she said that it was $ 303.50 that they had to pull 4 infected molars plus 6 other teeth.
I said Tammy I have that much in my account and I would cut a check and mail it out in the
morning! She said she would ask Dr. Simms and she said NO she wanted the $ 303.50 now or the
Weather Dog would stay right there until I paid the bill plus $ 20.00 a day for keeping
her.!! I reminded Tammy that I had been a customer for 20 some odd years and had owed her
$ 1,200.00 to $ 1,400.00 at a time for vet bills on rescue dogs and paid it all off in
90 days. I had one of my House Maids take her little girls pup out there a few months ago
and Dr. Simms said it was in bad shape and I said, Dr. Simms try to save it but it died that
night and the bill was $ 346.50 which I paid the 1st of the next month and my House Maid ask Dr.
Simms that would be a large bill and she said that Dr. Simms just smiled and said that
I had Not beat her out of a penny yet.!! Then a couple of months ago another House Maid's
dog was sick and I had her take it out there to Dr.Simms Partner and he said it was
constipated and had a bleeding stomach ulcer so he treated both symptoms and charge me
with $ 118.00 and I paid that the following month when I got my checks. So you see Dr. Simms
would not let me send her a check the next day like I had been doing for years but she said if
I did not pay the bill in full she would keep the Weather Dog that night.! and then Tammy ask me
if I had a credit card and I said I have a debit card and they charged the $ 303.50 to it
or I would not have seen the Weather Dog. When my Chef got her home she had lost so much
blood and he said I should see his seat and carpet on the floor that he had to go clean it before
the blood would dry and the way she was shaking she was in shock so I put her on her pink blankie
and covered her up with one end of the blankie and kept her quiet and her body was still shaking
and the side affect from what they used to put her to sleep. I stayed up with her all night and
around 2:00am the bleeding stopped.!! One thing I am still wondering is why she did not take her
off the baby aspirin she was on and another vet said that was why she bled so much.? This morning
she had her meds given to her in peanut butter and she drunk water twice and at noon I gave her
some soft food and this evening I gave her meds to her and she ate more soft food and this evening
her fever broke and I could turn the furnace down. So viewers I am asking you, what is wrong here?
