  My horse was without water for up to 5 hours post-operation.Upon arrival to pickup my horse from his post-operative stay at Palm Beach Equine, I found him lethargic, unresponsive, and vacantly staring in a stall. I noticed there was zero water in his stall and his stall chart noted his last check was around noon but the time then was about 5:30pm. He had a slow rebound with the skin pinch test. I filled his bucket, which he drained immediately and refilled it only for him to drain that as well.   He then became more animated and relieved himself of a thick cloudy stream. After long searching, a person was finally found, but they were not in a position of authority so I refocused my efforts on getting him out of there and into better care at home ASAP.I contacted the clinic to report my experience and a person in charge of overseeing postoperative care couldn't be produced at the time, but was told I could share the issue with her, the receptionist. I found her to be empathetic and compassionate about the situation and she promised to have the barn manager call me. I wish the barn manager responded with the same understanding as their receptionist. After explaining the experience of finding my horse severely dehydrated in their care, I was told that throughout his stay, he was spilling his water in agitation. She had recorded in her records someone checked on him at 4:30pm. I explained to her that his level of dehydration does not correlate with having water within the last hour of his pickup and if they have noted a patient is spilling their water, then it would be good practice to check on the patient more frequently to ensure they would get enough water despite that. It is unacceptable to leave a postoperative patient without water and allow them to reach such a delirious state of dehydration. I am reluctant to write critical reviews as I said the receptionist responded with compassion but I am not confident that the barn manager will remedy this dangerous oversight in the future, as she seemed more interested in denying that any harm was done. My suggestion to future clients is to have constant check-ins with your horse if you must get care here. Perhaps you may even install your own stall camera seeing as how their "24 hour barn surveillance" does not guarantee they will be maintaining full water buckets. My suggestion to the barn manager is; instead of attempting to deny an owner's experience of your care, you should focus more time thinking about how you can correct for any future mishandlings of ensuring water is available at all times or consider contacting the owner for early pickup if you are not equipped to care for a horse that is agitated after surgery.

  Incredible staff. They took so much care with baby Whisper they really care about your horses well-being. The doctors were kind and patient and explained everything thoroughly so I understood what was going on every step of the way. Highly recommends this clinic if you have an equine emergency or need ambulatory service.

  My wife received a $9.98 charge from this clinic to her credit card. We live on the other coast... Y'all got hacked and scammers are running charges through you to test if someone is paying attention before hitting them for huge amounts on quickly transferrable electronic goods.
