Onderstepoort - worst place to take your pet

The worst place you can take your animal. Admitted my scotty on Saturday 24 Sept 2022, and after about 2hrs wait they came back with a piece of paper that said we need to pay R10 000, no explanation whatsoever. After querying what we will be paying for they told us her lungs collapsed and they need to put her in a oxygen box, while they check her for the weekend to see what needs to be done. Ons Mo day 26 Sept we get a call saying she's okay but they need to put a tube in the chest again and put her back in an oxygen box (but she's okay) and then we need to pay an additional R5000. Because they need to check what causes the collapsed lungs (after telling us they would have done it over the weekend). So I'm needing to pay R15000 and they still a not tell me if my dog will make it or not. On top of all this, the students treated my dad like a know-it-all when he asked them to explain the situation to him and when he asked questions, even though he has a degree in animal physiology and parasitology, and is also a doctor by trade.

It feels like this institute is just taking money and using my dog as a Guinea *** to teach students, and speak down to people who actually care about their pets.

Never will I ever take an animal there again.
