What a great staff!
My Rhodesian Ridgeback was injured while boarded nearby (I am not a local and was passing through when my grandmother passed away).
The vet had an opening for walk in and we were seen almost immediately.
I spoke with Katherine at the front and she was wonderful. Super friendly. Helped get all his papers in order and put us in a room within the first 10min walking in the door.
shortly after, Gina came in and we discussed Komos current condition and past medical history. She gave him lots of attention / love before beginning the exam. Even feeling under the weather, I've never seen him so calm with a vet. He sat in her lap after the exam (because 80lb dogs make the best lap dogs)!
She understood that we are currently on a cross country road trip and provided us with a nice sized stack of Chlorhexidine Scrub Pads and prescribed him Cephalexin and Rimadyl (his injury was deep enough that tendon was visible through a good sized hole). She shaved the area and flushed it out and tended to his ears which also needed cleaning.
She gave me enough info for ways to help it heal and so far so good. Gina suggested I only give him Rimadyl that first night and then as needed after..she is right. Pain pills make him sluggish, which we both hate, and due to the antibiotics and wipes, he doesn't seem to be in pain luckily.
Overall great experience considering the circumstances for the visit. read more
