The Vet Dermatologist we saw was the first person to suspect, or at least want to rule out Cushings for Wylie...she was the one that finally got him on the path to diagnosis. She also taught me so much about allergies for Marcel.
The Internist for Wylie's Atypical Cushings, who we saw when his Cushings was being specifically diagnosed, was just amazing. She knows so much about Cushings, and it was such a relief for me. I knew we'd finally get to the bottom of everything.
The Ophthalmologist we just saw for Wylie - WOW - they are truly amazing! The spend an hour+ with you and do all these tests on your kiddo and keep them calm, and use all these instruments, and get you on track if there is a cataract.
And Wylie and Marcel's and Pfeiffer's current Generalist Vet - she cares, and listens, and will find out more when she doesn't know, and will refer out when the issue needs more than what she is qualified for. It's an 8-vet practice and is very competent  . |
I agree Ann the specialiasts I have dealt with are beyond amazing
Board certified dentist- he is so thorough and does not do dental vaccines and does not over use antibiotics in his approach and he even sanded down a back tooth for demi as one root was infected but saved the other part of the tooth so it was easier for her to eat
BC Dermatologist- she is so sharp and always approaches Dee Dee with great care with all her issues and we have been seeing her for 3 years now. She always returns my calls to ask her questions about Dee Dee as well as some things that come up on here to help other dogs like the difference of chlorhexedine vs benzoyl in the use for staph infections
Dr Jean Dodds - a specialist in Blood and Vaccinations who does our blood work and titers- she is truly amazing - not only helps me with my dogs but other people on here as well. She emails me back at all hours of the day - she even emailed me at 11:00pm on a saturday night to tell me how to split a .1 mg oblong soloxine pill into 1/3 with a cuticle clipper - I could go on for days on how she has helped me with my dogs from every place she is at all over the world. She has emailed me from Canada, China, Australia, and UK - truly the most passionate caring Vet I have ever met and she is always there for me and my dogs.
BC Opthamologist - Amazing spent an hour with me and even showed me how to look in a microscope at dex eyes to make sure he did not have dry eye as he was having a lot of goopy eye episodes.
BC Internal medicine specialist - TRULY AMAZING - saved my dogs life from pancreatitis with her expertise thus I have him alive and well 4 years later because of her approach and fast thinking. She would call me at 11:00 at night before her shift was over to tell me he was ok. She emails me and helps me with my dogs as well as the person who handles the medications and specializes in them there. The hospital is great as well. They answer questions 24/7 when things come up on weekends and evenings as that is always when things seem to go wrong. They brain storm with me to figure things out and we decide whether they need to come in or not. I always take them gifts and cards as they saved my dogs life.
Dr Jaimie on my maltese group - she is a great person and emails me when I have questions and concerns about things and I learn alot from her on that group as well
Dr Beth on my vet group - she is amazing. I email her pics, videos, and things going on with dogs on here as well as with my own and she is always so quick to respond and help me and others on here as well. She does this along with running a busy practice as she is passionate about people and pets
PET OWNERS- I have to also say that I have met some wonderful pet owners that have been helpful as well on the yahoogroups. These people are passionate, caring, and dedicate their time and research to those of us with dogs with health issues because they have lived with a specific illness that their dog has. They share what their specialists and vets have taught them with others and that information has been so valuable to many of us so I want to make sure to thank them as well for their time and energy that is spent helping others.
Because of these WONDERFUL VETS, SPECIALISTS, and PET OWNERS I have met and known for years I am able to help other people as well as my dogs with what they have taught me and I am forever greatful for that information.
