I am so happy to hear about Dixie and your new "miracle vet". I also found anew miracle vet here in my own community ...his name isa Stepen Blake and his website is
www.thepetwhisperer.com. He is a trained vet but he practiced homeopathically and he has already improved the lives and health of my dogs tremendously.
I encourage everyone to find holistic, homeoptathic vet and at least have one appointment. It may just save your pet's life or at least save your dog from pain in the future due to unnecessary procedures and vaccines prescribed by most western vets.
I hope your lung surgery goes well and you are "good as new" very soon.
