Our dog Zoey had TPLO surgery on her back leg at the Animal Emergency & Referral Hospital in Pittston, Pa on April 1, 2009.
She became deathly ill after surgery and the AE&RH could not determine the cause of her illness and extreme pain. She was transferrred to the University of Pennsylvania Animal hospital, it was proven she was infected with Serratia from her surgery. The Univerisity stated this was only the second reported case of Serratia in their history. Our vet bills are well over $ 14,000.00 and the hospital in Pittston absolutley turned their heads and pretty much said that's too bad. Please learn from our heart-breaking experience and DO NOT take your member of your family to this hospital
