My 15 week old puppy and I had a really big scare on Thursday/Friday. While on a walk she found a…read morerock and swallowed it in one gulp. I didn't even realize she had swallowed it until I heard her choking, and it was too late for me to try and get it out. All vets are closed except for emergencies due to the corona virus, so after she vomited multiple times I called to see if I could get her in at around 3pm. They were able to take her immediately. The xray showed it wasn't that big of a rock, but big enough that it wouldn't fit through her small intestines, and it was super sharp and jagged. Dr. Dawson advised emergency surgery to get it out. But between the xray and doing preop before opening her belly, somehow it moved up into her esophagus where they couldn't reach. They had to close her back up, and pray that overnight her body would force it back down into her stomach. Dr. Dawson checked on her regularly and gave me updates throughout the night until 10pm. He called me 15 minutes after they opened the next morning and fortunately, that's exactly what happened, so I asked them to open her a second time and they got it out! The communication was amazing, and Dr. Dawson was great at giving me my options and his recommendations each step of the way and respected my choices each time. He was VERY compassionate and obviously genuinely cared about my baby girl. Knowing how tight money was given the world pandemic and unemployment due to the virus, they were able to keep the cost to what I felt was a very reasonable price, all things considered. Thank you so much to South Shore Animal Hospital of Houghton Lake for getting this done despite operating on a stretched thin skeleton crew during COVID-19 and the Michigan lockdown. Teiris is doing well and recovering at home now!

Shy always panics at the vet and they offered to euthanize her in the car. I was given extra time with her and not rushed.

I have been through this before and seen vets cold and heartless, forcing a dog to wear a muzzle or rushing without compassion. I would recommend this vet as the best I have ever seen in my 71 years with countless dogs (and one cat). My best friend left peace and that brings me comfort
