I always love going there, because I see so many other people who love animals like I do. My little Kiwi had to go there every six weeks for a cortisone shot. She ran into his office with the biggest smile on her face because she knew he helped her. She had bad allergies. We did the allergy testing, and Dr. Wen taught me how to give her the shots. I don't think the testing ran even $200.00 and the serums didn't cost much. I didn't care about the cost anyway; I just wanted to do something that would safely help her. The shots didn't help her enough. We also used herbs, which worked great, but Kiwi was such a master at hiding them in her mouth and disposing tof hem when we weren't looking. He didn't want her on daily steroids, so we did the cortisone shot every six weeks. It didn't completely solve the problem, but it helped her a lot and we had no other choice. When she took her two herbs twice a day, that worked best, but I was finding them all over the house and was worried that she needed something more if she wasn't always taking them.
Because of all the times I went with Kiwi and the fact that we take Ashley there at least every 2 months for a checkup (Dr. Wen keeps telling us we can wait longer between visits, but we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to prevent things with her because of her age), I meet a lot of people. I've never felt this way about any of my own doctors, but I really trust Dr. Wen completely.
