We scheduled an appointment with Dr. Spangle for a well visit because our paralyzed dog had…read moredeveloped symptoms within the last month that we were concerned could be an infection, yeast, or both. He has been paralyzed for over a year, and these issues are new. We arrived with Scooby on his gurney. Although we were only about 5 minutes late, we never even made it to an exam room. Dr. Spangle spent approximately one minute with us in the entry area while staff gathered around staring at Scooby and whispering amongst themselves. After what felt like a 9 second observation, Dr. Spangle immediately concluded that Scooby's problems were chronic inflammation and bed sores. He then began offering unsolicited opinions about Scooby's quality of life without asking questions about his daily care, home environment, or medical history. Scooby is a pampered prince who is deeply loved and cared for, and it was frustrating to hear assumptions being made without taking the time to learn anything about him. What was especially concerning was that Dr. Spangle identified areas as bed sores that he never properly examined. He even referred to an old scar from a previous dog altercation as a bed sore when it was not one. The area we were actually concerned about, which is pictured in the attached photo, was not examined before conclusions were reached. In my opinion, it was clearly more than a simple bed sore and deserved a more thorough evaluation. Scooby can not even sit on his butt. The appointment ended with Dr. Spangle abruptly walking away and having staff check us out. We were sent home with antibiotic cream that felt more like it was given to humor us than as part of a thorough diagnosis or treatment plan. I do not know how much experience Dr. Spangle has with large paralyzed dogs, but he certainly cannot add Scooby to his list of patients that contributed to his experience or critical thinking skills. We left feeling dismissed, judged, and no closer to understanding what was actually causing our dog's condition. What was most frustrating was that we were never given the opportunity to discuss additional diagnostics. There was no offer of blood work, no skin scrape, no skin culture, no cytology, and no testing of any kind before conclusions were made. Dr. Spangle appeared to determine the cause of Scooby's condition from a brief visual observation alone. If a veterinarian can diagnose skin conditions with complete certainty from across a room in under a minute, then he must have microscope eyes.

We Absolutely Love Farmersville Veterinarian Clinic…read more This has been our Vet for the nearly 30yrs my husband and I have rescued dumped dogs and cats. Starting with Dr Carter, Dr Lane, Dr Spangler, and now Dr Wise! These men have been the Very Best of the Best!! My husband found an elderly dog, in very bad condition, wondering down. After about 3hours of bathing, cutting mats, feeding, treating fleas and a serious skin issue we were finally able to make him comfortable enough to sleep. The next morning I called Farmersville Vet, per usual they were so busy, but squeezed me in. I had also made a post in our community fb page. Just before I was to leave for the Vet, an older neighbor lady, called to say she thought that was her old boy, Boston. Boston had accidentally gotten out a few weeks earlier, while she was gone. She search for days but could not find him. I picked her up and off to the Vet we went. The Most Amazing Dr Wise, even in the midst of his busy day, was so thorough. Checked his ears, his eyes, his skin, his mouth, his feet and teeth, all for infection. Dr Wise treated his ears, gave him an injection to help with the itchy skin, gave us an antibiotic, tested his old eyes for ulcerations. He took the time, he spoke so kindly to my neighbor lady, he was so very good to her poor old wandering boy. And today, Boston is so much better and happy to be home. I am so very thankful for Dr Wise, he is the very best, so kind, very thorough. I could not speak more highly of Dr Wise and Farmersville Veterinarian Clinic.
