By the time you waste all that time, guessing or supposing or trying different ideas, you could have taken that money and spent it much more productively, and more than likely saved precious time and energy and perhaps the life of your pup. I do not hesitate to scurry off to A&M with sick animals.....fortunately, that was a trail I have not had to utilize with my dogs as they have all been healthy and not required medical care above and beyond what my vet or the vets at Gulf Coast could manage quite efficiently....but when we had horses, stallions especially, they were always getting into major issues and I had a trail burned into the road to A&M! I have never been one to patiently "wait and see what shows up" or "how this or that works out"....I want to see results of some kind, quickly. When you are dealing with some of the issues we deal with involving these little dogs, they just dont have the reserve to burn, while we pitz around, trying everything listed in alphabetical order in the index of a vet med book! Cut to the chase!!!

Speaking of GCVS, take a look at their new video. They have grown so much since I started going there in 2006. Amazing place...so lucky to have them here in this area!
