Doc treats our horses and has for almost 20 years. Doctor Amy treats the dogs. I've only seen the Dr. Pol show a couple of times and I find his methods in line with Doc's. Usually I am Doc's assistant, whether it is castrating a stallion, treating collic (a nice bucketful of soapy water & mineral oil enema), stitches, a difficult birthing, or a dental. Once when we had a couple of wild Mustangs who were very fresh off the range and very mistrusting of people. Being the only one who could really do much with Pistol, I wound up pulling the blook for testing.
Just call me Doc Cindy.
With large animals, you do what you have to do to take care of them and save lives. Unless you've been there, done that, it's hard to understand how an operation can be performed out in the open on the grass and it all come out ok. Poor Doc has been at our house on almost every holiday except Christmas. He's a real champ in my book!
Now with the Yorkies, it's an entirely different way of vetting. Doctor Amy is so incredible - she even changes the needles on the syringes when she give shots to very short "baby" needles. The dogs all love her and rarely do they even whimper or twitch when she is taking care of them.
