CHEAP VETERINARY CARE
Spanky's voice will show why cheap veterinary care is NOT the right choice. I picked my animals veterinarian because he could save me money...I wish now that I had known the outcome of this cheap care. While you look over my site please read all the correspondence on the tab above. All the letters are important and explain everything that you might question. I trusted this Brazoria County veterinarian with my pets life and he showed little concern and lied about many things. The vet board investigated my case for almost a year and an agreed order was signed by the veterinarian. In most of the letters I could not name the veterinarian, but now after the agreed order everything is public information. I can say and warn everyone NOW that Gary Brackeen with Anchor Road Vet Clinic admitted to self medicating and his negligence and malpractice cost me a beloved family member. After this process, I have found many people that have had the similar experiences with this man - I only wish that someone before me would have made a complaint. If your pet dies in the hands of a "bad vet" PLEASE report it.
Please tell all animal lovers about Spanky...

The Takeaway for Owners/Guardians: Dealing with the state vet board can be so grueling that it's almost like watching your pet die all over again, over and over. You need a thick skin, the patience of a saint, and the stubbornness of a mule (or a really BadVet who won't go away). Take a tip from Sissy (and Winston Churchill): “Never, ever, ever give up.” When it looked like the board was going to let Brackeen's disciplinary action requirements slip beneath the waves, Sissy was all over them with polite but firm correspondence, asking them to make sure that Brackeen was complying with the Agreed Order. Spanky's site documents all of this in great detail, while keeping the site easy to read and follow.

Spanky's Story.....
Spanky was born in Halletsville, TX on March 6, 2003. My niece, Sarah, is the person that brought Spanky into my family. My husband, Benny was working out of State and I thought that he needed a companion. Sarah had mentioned that her "Big Mommy" had a liter of puppies and she chose us the perfect Chihuahua.. the runt of the liter. Benny was living in his travel trailer in Oklahoma and a Chihuahua would be perfect. We....Sarah, my daughter Missy, and I drove to Halletsville to pick Spanky up and the minute I saw him I fell in love. Spanky was perfect, so precious and just an angel. Needless to say, Spanky was not going anywhere, he was to be mine and would never go to Oklahoma, he would be here with me and our other two dogs, Bear and Darla.
January 20, 2011 Spanky died unexpectedly...he was scheduled for a simple surgery and died three days later. My family was devastated...it was purely neglect and I blame the Vet.
I will be telling my story....
February 2011, I filed a complaint with the Texas Board of Veterinarian Medical Examiners and in the end I will tell everyone the vet name, his office location and the detailed results of my complaint. I started by filing my complaint with the Texas Board of Veterinarian Medical Examiners and have received a response from Spankys' Veterinarian in which I was able to send a response back to the Board. Now the complaint will go before three Veterinarians on the Board and they will decide if the case will be pursued further due to the actions of Spankys'Veterinarian. If the Veterinarian Board agrees Spankys' Veterinarian was negligent I will be invited to Austin, Texas for an "informal conference". Keep your fingers crossed that I can get justice for Spanky....
I will be updating my page and adding memories of Spanky...so keep checking back.
I miss him so much ... always love your baby.

The biggest threat to our pets is our own naivety.
In spite of numerous reports of malpractice and worse, veterinarians continue to enjoy one of the highest ratings for "honesty" among all professions. They are universally -- and blindly trusted. Those of us who have learned the hard way that blind trust is dangerous for our pets are struggling to break through to the consciousness of our fellow loving pet owners, to inspire some healthy skepticism, before they and their pets too fall victim.
If reading this blog gets one pet owner to admit the thought into their minds that maybe -- just maybe -- they shouldn't blindly trust their vet, it will have been worth it. We need to become proactive in evaluating vets and their care, not waiting for a tragedy. We need to ask questions like: "Who will be there overnight? What are his credentials? Let me speak with him," or, "What are my pet's kidney values, and what are the potential side effects of that drug?"
We shouldn't need to do these things but we do because
. . .well, because there are so many bad vets.
“bad vet daily”

BEWARE OF CHEAP VETS....
**Missing Spanky**
Do your friends brag about their veterinarian's low prices?
Do your friends tell you to use a certain veterinarian because he or she is cheap?
Do your friends tell you that their veterinarians are not trying to "build a new wing on their clinic"?
Do your friends boast that their veterinarians don't do "unnecessary" tests like those "greedy" veterinarians?
QUICK QUIZ:
Do you KNOW what the standard of care is?
Do you just take your "wonderful" veterinarian's word for it?
*****BE WARNED****
While you're idolizing your veterinarian for saving you money, your pets could be paying the ultimate price.
SPANKY DID!!!
**Please don't make the same mistake**

A QUESTIONA child asked a wise man, "does my doggie have a soul?
Will he be rewarded if heaven is his goal?" The wise man pause a moment, then he shook his head, "I don't know the answer for the Bible never said anything about a dog as part of God's great plan when he breathed eternal life into the soul of man." "But my doggie was very good, he took care of me. He loved so hard, I know that he deserves erternity". The wise man stroked his beard and said, "if what you say is true, then when you get to heaven, You will find your dog there too." |
I miss him terribly
