I have going to see Dr. Rhody for my parrot for 15 yrs now . He really cares for all pets he sees. The staff he has is great people too. I would not go anyone else period.

I went to this vet because they were able to schedule an appointment sooner than my regular vet for an exotic pet for an issue that's best treated early. I didn't expect issues, but the doctor who saw my pet was excruciatingly loud and scared my pet, and then yelled louder when my pet bit her because of how he was handled. I was edgy about her handling him because she had these long acrylic nails and he really, really did not like being handled or poked because of it (it didn't bother me until I saw her dig one in to his belly when I was trying to show her what was wrong). My pet's still exhibiting anxiety from the visit, and he's never been like this. I came to this vet expecting a problem with my pet because he was showing signs of possibly having an issue best caught early. The loud doctor, when I asked what her hunch was, was condescending as she said she saw nothing wrong because "I can't dismiss *your* concerns". The same loud doctor, after the initial check-up and after I was calming my pet down in the exam room while waiting to pay for the visit, was loudly discussing how I didn't know what was wrong to other staff out in the lobby. The walls are thin. I heard it. Do you think I would go to a vet if I was an expert in anything about veterinary care? I'm neither a know-it-all nor trained in veterinary care, but I have experience with these animals. I expressed what I thought the problem was, and I'm glad it's not, but I've never felt this uncomfortable at a vet before. I waited a few days to see if I still felt the same, because I understand it's stressful all around, but my pet's still nervous and I've never had a vet behave like this around me. There are these print-out signs in the rooms about not disrespecting the staff. A bit tacky, I initially dismissed it as covid-related stress. But if this is how the vets behave regularly, I understand why those signs are up there and not at my regular vet. I'm sure it depends on which doctor you see here, but I'm not risking a second visit, and I urge others to ask which doctor will be seeing your pet before making that appointment.

Questions & Answers

Can they help guine pigs?

Mckenna Belton | Oct 7, 2019
Vy Cornett | Oct 7, 2019

Yes. The vet is allergic to them, though, so he has wear protective clothes and a mask when working with them.

Do you board cats, or could you recommend a boarder in or around Laurel?

sue ann Tippett | Oct 7, 2019
Lakeside Veterinary Center, LLC | Oct 7, 2019

As Mr. Arnold said, we board cats that are our patients. Every cat must be up to date on distemper and rabies vaccines, and we have to have examined them within the last year when they were healthy.

This a little awkward but I've never been to a vet before. I want to know what's wrong with my rabbit but I don't know how this whole vet thing works. Can someone explain how it works?? Please, I appreciate it.

Isabella | Oct 6, 2020
Lakeside Veterinary Center, LLC | Oct 6, 2020

The first step is for the vet to talk to you and gather some historical information and perform a physical examination. The findings from that conversation and exam will guide what happens next. The vet may recommend some tests like bloodwork or xrays. Ultimately it is your choice what you have done beyond the examination. The vet will discuss all your options and explain why these tests may or may not be important. You make the choice. What seems to be wrong with your bun? Male or female? How old is you bun?
