Our Golden experienced 6 weeks of intestinal discomfort with episodes of vomiting/food refusal until we saw Dr. Mark Koeppl at ECA. Initially, our regular vet did surgery to rule out intestinal blockage and then diagnosed reflux-common in older dogs. However, discomfort/vomiting continued accompanied by weight loss so additional diagnostic testing was done-still no determination of what was the problem. It seemed that no one was responding to the immediate health need of our dog-until we met Dr.Koeppl. He immediately assessed our dogs condition, stopped the vomiting and developed a treatment plan. In 36 hours, we had a diagnosis of lymphoma but also had a comprehensive care plan. During this time, the ECA staff were compassionate, caring and responsive to our familys needs both human and K-9! The diagnostic abilities, critical care skills along with the constant focus on the welfare of our pet speaks volumes to the exceptional care that Dr. Koeppl and ECA staff provide 24-7!
