This is not an usual post. I am going to make an extraordinary effort to contain my anger. Continue reading and you will understand why.
There are three stages in a veterinary treatment
1. Diagnosis
2. Operation
3. Post Operative care
Murat Ilgun and Kürşat Özer at the Zeytimburnu Veterinary Clinic in Istanbul have a good reputation amongst the Istanbul animal rescue community.
Their diagnosis are usually right, the treatments and operations tend to be performed successfully. Their pricing is also below average, cheap if you compare it with the prices recommended by the Istanbul Chamber of Veterinarians. This, of course, has made them a favorite of the animal rescue community, forever in need of affordable prices.
The Post Operative care administered is, however, one of the worst we have ever seen.
Runner had to have one of his legs amputated last week. Our usual clinic was full and we had to seek for an alternative location for the procedure.
The operation was performed on schedule, we were told to pick up the dog three days later. Now, please watch this video.
An amputation is a major and traumatic procedure and it is rarely a pretty sight, but that is precisely the reason why Post Operative care is so important, because there is where lies the difference between life and death.
Runner is now back at our clinic receiving the absolutely best veterinary care in this country at the hands of the kind of professionals that don’t treat an injured sentient being as just another thing whose leg has to be forcibly separated from its body and chuck away into a heavy duty garbage bag.
It takes years of hard work to build a reputation, but nothing last forever. We hope this will encourage Murat Ilgun and his partner Kürşat Özer to sit down and to reflect honestly and carefully about the direction of their clinic. Right now, it just looks to me like they have completely lost perspective.
Needless to say, Let’s Adopt! will never again entrust the life of an animal to Murat Ilgun and Kürşat Özer. We advice our friends and members to stay away from that place
