I absolutely L-O-V-E the vets and staff at All Animal Hospital in Tupelo, MS!!! I fired my OTHER vet who misdiagnosed my pets several times, was a terrible listener, and had terrible bed-side manners like yelling at my other dog and me. I don't know why I continued to use my previous clinic... I guess it was just habit.\r
\r
Anyway, Dr. Bryan and Dr. Ganas were actually referred to me by another vet when my rescue Shar-Pei couldn't quit vomiting (even prescription ""sensitive stomach"" dog food). These two, young female vets seem to be very knowledgeable about current veterinary medicine practices, problems unique to each breed, and are excellent listeners. They have an amazing rapport with each other that is also fun to watch. I think that they went to vet school together but it seems like they've been best friends for ages. They are both easy to talk to and compassionate. Best of all, THEY LISTEN!!\r

Dr. Bryan ran simple, inexpensive blood and urine tests and found that his kidneys were failing. Dr. Bryan told me that my dog was in kidney failure but without further testing, couldn't be sure if it was acute or chronic. The fact that he had eaten some vomit off the parking lot the day he had gotten sick made me think he had swallowed the result of some loser's booze and pill-filled stomach rejection. I didn't see what he ate, but if it was something toxic, his kidney failure could maybe be reversed.\r

Anyway, the best dog I've ever had stayed in their hospital two days and was, at their recommendation, transferred to a specialist's hospital in Cordova, TN where he stayed for two days. It was found that he had chronic kidney failure and that there was no chance for survival. I brought him home and let him visit all his favorite people and places, took pictures, let him eat treats, and we had about 20 more hours together. Dr. Ganas and LeighAnn, one of her very knowledgeable staff, were there with me when he was put to sleep. They got down on the floor with me and my dog and were exceptionally kind and compassionate. \r

The average life-span of a Chinese Shar Pei is about only eight years. Some of them, because of irresponsible breeders, can have problems such as hereditary fevers, kidney problems, and skin problems unique to the breed. Many have eye Entropion and require costly surgery to correct this condition.\r

I now take my new puppy to All Animal Hospital. She came with quite a few illnesses to overcome, so we've been to the clinic a lot. I'd recommend this clinic to everyone.
