I adopted a sheltie that began having seizures about 6 months after bringing her home. Normally a very sweet girl, she also started growling and biting when touched. Her eyes would glaze over and then she would snap out of it and act guilty and whimper. I took her to 3 different clinics and every vet blamed it on behavioral issues. I finally went to Sandy Hill after a very bad episode and Dr. Anast diagnosed her based upon the description - pancreatic lymphoma. A blood test confirmed it and some steroids brought her back to normal. None of the other vets even really listened, just blamed her "unknown background." Annabelle's last days were happy and seizure/biting free thanks to Dr. Anast. He and the staff now care for all of our other "children" and we couldn't be more pleased. Our only regret was not finding them sooner.
