We were frantic, my little Sheltie, Geoffrey was vomiting and having diareah rull of mucous and blood, when he walked into our home at 2:30...My husband wanted me to come straight home and get him into a vet...(I work at Barnes) by the time I got home at 5, he was lethargic and hardly moving around the house...I had called and found that they were an Animal Hospital, so called expaining his symptoms, and we were new to the area, and he was up to date on his shots, etc. They worked him in at 5 which is what time I would get to the area...they were sweet and very understanding. We were concerned with cost and they explained every procedure and cost, which I appreciated. He ended up spending two nights to get IV therapy, treating him for pancreatitis. He would have indeed died, if we had not seeked treatment. The Dr. even called to check up on him. Both of the vets were female and were wonderful. Dr. R was the one who explained his meds for going home, and I could not ask for a kinder staff...No complaints here...NONE!
