It is hard to find a great vet. Some have forgotten what they SHOULD have gone into animal medicine for.
Luckily we have Ohio State Vet School here in Columbus. Great people. My mother's maltese got bit by a large dog. (My mom is a RN) She saw that he had a punctured lung and we rushed to OSU...they rushed him right in and treated him. 2 broken ribs too. He was fine...but it was on a Sunday and my mom was not in the area of her vet anyway. OSU handled it in top form.
