Of course Dr. GAbby has numerous five star reviews. I wish I could give her a 10 star review. She came to the house so compassionately, took all the time we needed to say goodbye to our beloved Sundance. She was so kind, caring and sensitive and made it absolutely painless for Sundance. She gave him a sedative that put him right to sleep in our arms and when we were ready, we told her when it was time to give him the last dose that would take him to heaven. It was such a gift. She is such a gift. She is truly an angel without wings. I can't recommend her enough. With lots of love in our hearts towards her and anybody going through this difficult time.
