Guess they realized they couldn&#039;t win this one! He is such a wonderful vet. I called him at almost 7am yesterday morning and he answered from bed and told me to come right down. My poor Hanna was already near death from liver disease. Thank you Dr. Briskey for helping my beautiful Hanna cross over early yesterday morning. See you next week for teeth cleaning...Karla Thu, 31 May 2012 09:48:28 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment370962488 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment366461506 I know Dr. Briskey would never debark a puppy let alone 13 of them. I have brought in 2 dogs at the same time for cleanings and spays and he usually has several other people on those days. There is no way he would be able to debark 13 dogs in one day unless he only took those dogs and no other clients, which I have never seen or heard of him doing. But of course i can&#039;t say for sure because i wasn&#039;t there when these dogs were done. I am just going by how I have seen him work. I have been there A LOT. And you are correct, there is no way he could of done that many dogs and have anywhere to keep them as he gave the pre-op meds and post op waking period. Not in his waiting area. I have never seen any more then 5 clients waiting when I have been there, or more then 3 animals having surgery done. I once saw some folks that had 3 of their cats spayed that were recovering when I had gotten there. People reading this stupid biased article and report are not getting the whole story because they only showed a few minutes of their interview with him. When they asked him if it was ok to leave that dog laying there recovering, they cut him off! And in the article they said all he said was &quot;I don&#039;t know&quot;.. I know darn well he said more then that. he probably said he didn&#039;t know where the owner took off to. Maybe the owner did not want to be on camera!! I was there once when he had just done ears on a Dobie and the owner was not there. he put him in a HUGE crate to recover and the owner was on there way to get the dog. He normally doesn&#039;t allow people to drop off their pets but once in awhile I am sure he does, especially with long time clients. People also don&#039;t realize that without vets like Bill there would be nobody to care for farm animals! These big time vets do not care for farm animals. It is very difficult to find farm vets any more because so many vets are in fancy clinics and making big bucks. He doesn&#039;t need to make big bucks, it&#039;s just him and he owns his home outright and probably has for 40 years..lol People also don&#039;t realize he is 91 years old and has more training and experience then the vets at the fancy pricey clinics. He will never retire, this is his life!! oh don&#039;t even get me started on peta!!! If it was up to them there would be no pets, and no farm animals and nothing but grass for us humans to eat! My favorite web site is <a href="http://www.petakillsanimals.com/" target="_blank">http://www.petakillsanimals.com/</a> people just have no clue about the truth, nor do they want to know. And as far as komo, I will never watch their news again! After seeing this report I am disgusted by how they handled it and how they only showed bits and pieces if the video. They cut so much out! I don&#039;t even get why this made news. Vets are investigated ALL the time!! People will complain about the most ridiculous stuff. Have you noticed how people have now quit posting on here other then his clients? They just cannot argue against all of us who know him personally, they can&#039;t win! Dr Briskey will be fine through this and he will never lose his right to practice because the allegations will be proved unfounded. The twig issue, if I am not mistaken that happened several years ago. And as far as being dirty and re-using dirty instruments, well That is just laughable! Well time for me to go, I need to call Bill and make appointments for one of my yorkies and my chubby chihuahua to have their teeth done.. Have a wonderful day, and thank you for standing behind him with the rest of us..

I need to make teeth cleaning appointments for 2 of my dogs, one is having a problem and i need to get her in!! I hope nobody is harassing him. Some of us need appointments.. Thu, 24 May 2012 05:10:50 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment366190021 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment366185178 Actual cost to debark a dog is more like $400.00+ and there are 2 ways to do it but either way the vocal cords can grow back. I once asked my old vet about having it done with a problem rescue dog nobody wanted because of his excessive barking. That was about 8 years ago and it was 400.00! The dogs that were debarked in this situation were NOT puppies, they were adult dogs. There are several breeders in that area that breed large breeds. One is a rott breeder, the other is a german shepherd breeder. Both are very loud barkers. While I do not agree with debarking I can imagine neighbors complaining was the reason for having it done. That area is all farm area but people move into those area&#039;s and expect to have complete silence and just complain about everything. However, i am only guessing since i don&#039;t actually know the breeder but I have been in there when her pups have come in for exams before being sent to their new homes. Now days people tend to call all breeders puppy mills. They throw that term around all the time.

He is South of downtown Orting.

Dogs are given the same medications people are given. Pin worm de-wormer used for humans is given to dogs and cats for roundworms and hookworms as well as other worms. The other vet i used gave my cocker tramadol for pain, this is a medication given to humans for pain. Everything is adjusted for your pets of course.

Cropping ears and de-barking don&#039;t cause cancer. I don&#039;t agree with modifying any dogs or cats unless medically needed , but it is still legal in this country. May you should jump on board with many of us who want to follow in the steps of the UK and make it illegal to dock,crop, etc. There is a good way to put a stop to it. But as long as the AKC requires it in certain breeds it WILL continue, unfortunately.

Accusing posters of being the accused. Dr. Briskey Doesn&#039;t even know how to use a computer let alone own one.. And I am sure way to busy with clients to sit on here and defend himself. Thu, 24 May 2012 02:23:44 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment366113842 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365540182 Oh, when were you there Ben? Never? Then you know nothing!

I think that is much better then the pet being put in a cold metal cage to wake up alone. When they start to wake it is very scary for the animal and it is much better for the animal to be waking in the arms or next to the people who love them. If there is any problem he is right there. And he does check on our babies and does not allow you to leave until they are completely awake and doing well. I LOVE that I can hold my babies after a procedure.

But if you really need to put blame somewhere, blame the AKC because these are all AKC standards. I have yorkies, they are a docked breed. There are many breeds that AKC require to have these things done. Wed, 23 May 2012 06:05:07 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365521955 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365516332 LOL excuse me for my error. I could point out your errors in grammar as well. How childish. And yes you are lying, he doesn&#039;t give horse medication to dogs. And age has nothing to do with good care, that was my point. I am just surprised that hasn&#039;t been mentioned since he is 91 years old. You spent a few minutes, if that in his office and if your friends dog has been ill so often it sounds more like poor breeding to me. Wed, 23 May 2012 05:55:34 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365516332 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365504340 A LOT of actual, real rescues use him because of his prices, and his good care and kindness. Most vets still debark, your a fool if you believe otherwise. so it doesn&#039;t bother you that vets dock tails and remove dew claws then? Because they ALL do it! Wed, 23 May 2012 05:36:34 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365504340 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365494079 So very true LadyLillian. Add in tail docking and dew claw removal since they are done with no anesthesia and is extremely painful and cruel in my opinion. As far as neuter and spays, they can actually fix a dog without removing the organs, they just choose not to because it&#039;s faster for vets to just yank it out. Wed, 23 May 2012 05:19:00 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365494079 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365490820 I know of several vets in this area that do ears, de-barking, de-clawing, tail docking, removing dew claws, and much more mutilations, none of which are illegal in this state! He sure in the heck isn&#039;t money driven with the prices he charges! 45.00 for a teeth cleaning for example at the other vets in this area costs 300 and up! Same with spays and neuters. Wed, 23 May 2012 05:13:30 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365490820 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365485638 So people defending their vet can not happen without getting a call from him? How stupid! You can see we all come on here and post on other articles too. I can assure you he never called me! He doesn&#039;t need to because he has clients all over the place who love him! I know people that come from long distance to take their pets to him. Those of us that actually know Dr Briskey are telling you he is a good vet and have never seen anything bad or had anything bad happen and you don&#039;t believe us? But you will believe an article made up of hearsay. Where are the people who have had these bad things happen? Not on here! I happened to see this article link on facebooks KOMO and am disgusted by the remarks from people who have never even met this vet. I trust him more then my last 2 vets who charged me for tests after tests on 2 of my dogs and unable to find that one had giardia, and the other had liver disease. But he found it and they both were made well by him. The one with giardia, I spent $1,000.00 on tests with my old vet and it turned out to be one test they didn&#039;t do that should of been the first test done and is easy to treat. That pup was near death when Briskey saved her by doing the giardia test. I will defend him you bet!!!

He is a good caring vet. He has done oral surgery on 1 of my yorkies and he cleans all my dogs teeth. I have never had any problems with him. i am surprised your not complaining about his age either. He is also up to date on new procedures. He actually refuses to do microchipping because they cause tumors. He would never debark 13 dogs at once either. people will believe anything they read. Wed, 23 May 2012 04:44:09 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365472400 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Orting-vet-accused-of-giving-substandard-care-152785815.html#IDComment365467250 It isn&#039;t any more cruel then docking tails,at least they are put under. And they can still make noise. It is a common practice like de-clawing cats which is more cruel imo. Wonder how many of you own dogs with docked tails or dew claws that have been removed? Now THAT is cruel to have done cus they just cut them right off while the puppy is wide awake as they scream! It&#039;s not like he is the only vet that debarks, pretty much all vets do it. I am sure there are some that don&#039;t but not many. Briskey is a damn good vet who loves animals. inbred people? WTF? Orting is a pretty good sized town and is very nice place to live. what an idiot!

READ the article.. omg..so dumb! The girl was 7. You cannot teach a child to not touch something like this. It isn&#039;t enough!! Guns, weapons of ANY kind need to be secured on be on your person. I have always been around guns, since I was a kid and even though I knew not to touch them my dad still kept them safe from our hands. Then as we got older taught us how to use them and respect them. A small child has NO idea the damage a gun can do. And owning toy guns has nothing to do with it either.
