I'm sitting here reading what is being written and I'm cringing at the thoughts. If and when i move from where I am now I will travel the 4 hours it will take me to see the vet I'm using since the late 80's. Not only does he allow me to be in the room when ever he does something to my dog I can ask a million questions and suggest some things I've heard. He will tell me what he thinks about what I want to try and what he thinks would work better and if I really want to try something he will do it unless he has first hand experience on the bad side affects. He has allowed me to be present when I did a surgical implant and when he did surgery for a mast cell tumor he was allowing me in there to watch if I wanted. I didn't make it back to his office in time. He also does two hip and elbow clinics for my golden club where we do hips and elbows for $125.00 and you get a digital copy to boot. He doesn't knock the dogs out. He has been doing this for over 10 yrs for our club and we use the money we make towards our specialty awards. Love you Dr. G Michele Rock Star GSD's Ch Dani, Ch Fuji, Ch Ranger, Cody (pointed) U-Ch Jade (golden) and baby Elle On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 11:02 AM, Ileana <inquestgsd@xxxxxxx> wrote: > These are wise words.
