They surely lied because you can test immunity through a blood test. This place is an great way for you dog to catch a disease from other animals.

I called first thing when they opened at 9am on 7/20. When I finally got through they were not helpful in getting us into see them. I found Mission Veterinary Clinic and contacted them. They were able to get us scheduled with an appointment that same day and they ended up moving her appointment time up because they were concerned about her. Upon our arrival, the staff was helpful and welcoming. The vet tech that called me and attended to us was amazing and so compassionate. As well as the veterinarian. They discussed every result with us and walked us through some next steps. They didn't hesitate to answer any questions. Ultimately we were referred to Roadrunner Veterinary Services as a critical care overnight stay. After some consultation on 7/21 with the veterinary staff at Roadrunner, they agreed to let me take my baby home to try some at home care. They said she needed a follow up appointment to run follow tests within two days. I called Mission Veterinary Clinic and they were willing to see her one more time but that I needed to follow up with her primary vet as well. She had an appointment scheduled on 7/24. Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my baby on July 23. I called to cancel her follow up appointment with Mission Veterinary Clinic and shared with the woman I spoke to that I had to put her to sleep. She expressed her condolences to me and to let them know how they could be of support. I received a card in the mail from Mission Veterinary Clinic. Which to date, I can't bring myself to read but I greatly appreciated it. We were only seen at Mission Veterinary Clinic once and I received more compassion and support from two different vets (Mission and Roadrunner) that I have never been to than from an established vet I had been going to for years.

And then I really had to find a vet when I realized one of my cats was having an issue with his mouth and his teeth. After a lot of research and calling a lot of animal hospitals I finally settled on La cueva. On our first visit, I was impressed that the exam room had some ambience soothing music, they used a spray to calm the cat, and every nuance of the room and the exam was for the comfort of the animal and owner. After that first visit I scheduled a follow-up surgery for my cat to have his teeth cleaned and or removed. Unfortunately, due to extreme . Dental disease my poor little 6-year-old boy had to have all of his teeth removed 2 days ago. Going through something like this can be very stressful. My cat also has a heart murmur and so when we arrived at the animal hospital I was told he was the only surgery for the day and that there would be two techs overseeing his care along with the veterinarian performing the surgery. Post surgery they sent me home with everything I needed to care for my little boy including syringes with prepared doses of pain meds and anti-inflammatories. They gave him a two week dose shot of antibiotics so I didn't need to worry about that. It's been two days now and I see an extreme difference in my little one. He is recovering very well and is already looking much happier and healthier. I am so grateful for Dr Kim and her staff. I have three other cats that I will be bringing here. Many thanks for the good care.

We expect doctors, human or animal, to perform miracles. To save the unable and cure the most diseased.

How we take care of ourselves and our loved ones has everything to do with how our bodies fight to survive tomorrow.
