Recently our family pet got really sick. It started on Tues Nov 2nd,2010 he lost his appetite. Then the next night he had bloody diarrhea and vomiting. We called around to get him to a vet asap. The vet we were going to take him to was closed until Mon Nov 8, and the other didn't have an appointment until 2:00 thurs afternoon. We called Lawrence Animal Hospital and we were able to get in first thing the next morning. When we got there everyone was very pleasant and a great staff. Right away the Dr knew what he might have new virus, parvo. This was really the first time I heard about. My dog is only 10 months(he's still a puppy). Dr.Gruber suggested that we get him tested, blood work, xrays etc. and medication. But we couldn't afford it. So she made another suggestion . They believed it was parvo he had all of the symptoms, being that we were new customers we didn't have to pay for the office visit just the fecal test and his medication. That was great. They gave him some injections and sent us home with his medication. If the injection(antibiotics) didn't work he should be hospitalized(which I knew we couldn't afford)On wed With no appetite he wouldn't take his meds and he was still the same. We called the vet and told them that he was still the same. Trish told us to come in the was a stronger dose of medication that they had just recieved and it was to be given to him in a series of 2 shots a day for three days. These shot were given free of charge. Still no change by Fri. My husband and I didn't know what else to do. My husband made an appointment for our dog to be put down because he didn't want him to suffer. We wanted to spend the weekend with us. On Sunday afternoon the dog started running around, barking, and eating his food. He still vomited a little, and still some diarrhea but not bloody. Dr. Gruber called my husband monday morning to check on our dog and he told her the good news. She told us to come into the office again and to give him another series of shots free of charge so he won't relapse again. Now he is taking his medicine and he is not vomitting. He's playing with the kids again he's my happy baby again. And all thanks to Lawrence Animal Hospital..I love those ladies. They did not give up and My family and I really appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts and so does our Dog. To Dr Gruber, Dr Collins and Staff you are wonderful you do a great job. People are going to say negative things to make them feel better about themselves , Just keep on smiling as you do and Keep up the good work. Dr Gruber Thanks again for all your attention and positive intentions. Trish you are awesome!!!!!! and Thanks to the staff your great!!!!! We really didn't have a vet for our pet but know Lawrence Animal Hospital is. I would definitely recommened anyone that has a pet and would like a vet hospital that is caring and loving like it their own pet they are taking care of, to go to Lawrence Animal Hospital. THEY ARE GREAT!!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!
