"MY DOG WAS MISDIAGNOSED DUE TO SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES LEAVING HIM WITH A FOREIGN BODY IN HIS EYE! I was referred to univets by their sister company my vet wulagi because my vet wulagi was fully booked until the next Monday. My vet wulagi had previously misdiagnosed my dog with a scratched cornea 2days earlier . My dog actually had a foreign body in his eye. Which I had suspected and told them while booking the appointment. They misdiagnosed him due to social distancing rules that prevent you from attending appointments with your pet. The reason social distancing is a problem is that My dog was terrified to go into the vet alone. Because he was so scared he was not cooperating and opening his eye so they couldn’t view it properly and still charged me $170 for the consult and meds. I was still concerned and knew he had a foreign body in his eye and attempted to book another appointment at wulagi. They had no appointments available and referred me to univets. At Univets I also Couldn’t attend the appointment with my dog which resulted in them misdiagnosing him with a scratched cornea again. he was that stressed that he released his anal glands during the appointment. I had also taken photos of the foreign body and sent in an email hours before attending the appointment. Who I had shown to medical professionals who could tell it was a foreign body just by looking at the photos. They charged me another $170 for the consult including meds and sent him home with the splinter still in his eye and said that it could be a sequestrum in his eye and it might heal with meds. Then offered to book him in to put him under and have a PROPER look for a further $470. I was feeling ripped off and disappointed that I had paid twice and still did not get a confident answer. My instinct told me to get a opinion from another vet. I am glad that we decided not to spend the further 470 instead I went to Nightcliff vets where they let me attend the appointment. They confirmed the foreign body in the first 2 minutes of the consult and considered our dog to be a high priority patient he squeezed him in and managed to remove the foreign body. This was all done in under 2 hours and my dog was ready to be picked up. They charged me less than $170 for the consult and removal of the splinter. He is finally happy and healing. Unfortunately he has a bigger ulcer due the foreign body being left in for a long time."

"Saved my dogs life and had a payment plan to offer. Awesome Dr and Nurses, will be my regular vet from here on."
