Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary

"If i could give zero stars I would ! We rescued a German shepherd from out of state and after a few months we realized she became lethargic, and puking and when we went to emergency vet they did X-rays and said that it was just gas so they kept her overnight called us in the morning said she was good to come home ! So we went to go get my baby that day we brought her home she puked again so we went back and they did MORE X-rays said still looks like she had gas in there so they did more treatment and middle of the day when she wouldn’t get better the vet said that they would like to do a set of 12 X-rays with barium we said okay we will do whatever we need to do so they kept her all day and onto the next night I would call for updates and they said they were to busy finally when they called me it was 2am they mentioned as I am half asleep about surgery ! So we drove over there to see and hear what they were talking about . We get there and they said they think she needs surgery , I said what do you mean you think ? She said well the barium is moving so it a 70% she doesn’t need it. I said okay well your the doctor if you think she needs it we will do it , she said no I don’t think she will but we will keep her the rest of the night and see how she does they call me 7-8am Sunday morning to go get her I go get her bring her home and the middle of the night like 5-6am she started vomiting again so I called my husband who was at work and said that 8m when our vet opens im taking her because emergency vet isn’t doing right by her at all!! So 8am I am there I tell my vet everything we went through and they take her back do an xray and within seconds of looking at it knew she needed surgery ! I could visibily see the blockage myself and I am not vet and the barium wasn’t even through all the way !!!!!! When my vet showed me what was inside her it was so disintegrated it was inside her stomach way before we got her before we got her she was never inside a house never had dog food , didn’t know what dog toys were she was defending herself and would eat anything to service , rope and all .. having this before we rescued her and it was this bad they had to cut into her stomach and intestines three times. My dog went through hell and back and it seemed like they didn’t care about her at all but they cost us 10,000$ in the end ! So thank you brewer emergency vet … for nothing my happy spunky dog wasn’t herself and I was trying to tell you something was wrong and you wouldn’t listen"

"I brought in my 8 week old kitten poisoned by a toxin and I was told by three people that night including the female vet to put him down and then I spoke to the male vet and he told me to take him home and what to do until he can be seen by his vet on Monday mind you not this was on a Saturday. My kitten who now is 11 weeks made a full recovery please people don't believe everything you are told from this vet if I had listened to them my children wouldn't have their pet they absolutely adore"

"I came here at midnight with a sick stray cat. They took great care of him and explained everything to me about options and pricing in great detail. They didn't pressure me into treating a cat that wasn't mine but I just felt like I should give him his best chance. Everyone I talked to was extremely friendly and made me feel not so alone. Hopefully I won't need an emergency vet again, but if I do, I will go here."
