Animal Hospital Of Morris Park

On July 20th, 2007 my wife took our female English bulldog, Chewy Sky Ryan, for a routine spay operation. Chewy was 8 months old and in perfect health.

When my wife called that afternoon to see how the procedure went, they called her back and told her that Chewy stopped breathing and that she was dead.

When my wife went to go see her in the operating room, Chewy still had her walking harness on her. This should have been a sterile environment - it wasn't. How could they leave an unclean harness on a dog during an operation?

When they delivered Chewy to us, they tried to hand her to us, frozen, in a black garbage bag. Another staff member saw how horrified we were and went and got a blanket to wrap her in.

I had a necropsy performed on Chewy the next day. She died due to an anesthetic death. Apparently, English bulldogs need to be handled carefully with anesthesia because they have a greater risk of an air way collapse. They should have done pre-op blood work - they didn't. They should have explained the risks to us – they didn’t.

No one from the management of this place ever called to apologize or explain what happened. The staff was cold and callous. If you love your pet, stay away from these monsters – they’re killers.
