It can be a puppy just learning about life or a elderly dog in its last days before crossing the Bridge.
Either one will receive the greatest care possible and both will be loved as if they were their family.
I can not thank them enough for all the love I have received over the years for my fur-family
My parents and myself have always used Cacapon Veterinary Medicine (in Capon Bridge) for the last 20 years. Through numerous animals including cows we were supporters of his practice. Last week my Sally became very I’ll for no reason. After 2 visits to the vets office and numerous tests my parents were told they could find nothing wrong she need antibiotics and a bland diet. They were charged nearly a thousand dollars for these tests and their medical knowledge. My parents felt as though they were not being heard and decided to look for a new vet after the second visit and being told she was ok and dismissed. They found a new vet they couldn’t take a new patient until the following week.
Friday morning our baby was in so much pain her stomach was convulsing so much she was unable to walk. They reached out to a new vet who they had that appointment scheduled with and they were kind enough to squeeze our girl within and the first hour they could tell she had Leukemia, and it was pretty advanced. A bland diet and antibiotics were not going to save her. She had been in excruciating pain for who knows how long. We put our poor baby to sleep this afternoon and it should have been done way sooner, she shouldn’t have to have suffered. Please please please listen to your gut when it comes to these things and keep searching for answers. Our “trusted” vet would have just strung us along and allowed her to be in even more pain.
This is Sally and she was so loved. I only wish our vet that we trusted with her life treated her with the compassion she deserved.
After posting my story to social media I received word from so many other animal parents that experienced very similar treatment as we had. Please don’t fall into the trap we fell into, be you ranimals advocate and listen to you gut.
