Mr. Miles was attacked by a larger dog a suffered a large wound over his neck and ribcage. Due to the severity of his wound he needed several staged surgeries and even some reconstructive techniques and a special drain to get his wound to heal. He was initially very nervous about his visits to VESC but did better and better each time and turned out to be a model patient. He is now fully healed and back to his normal self!
Thanks again for all you've done for Miles the past month. I know it’s your "job" and that
as a vet you obviously have a passion for animals, but you definitely went above and beyond what I ever would have expected. I think seeing the same person each time also helped Miles feel less scared, which of course made it easier when he came in :) So thanks a ton!!! ... And I hope we never have to see you at the clinic again! Haha!!

Dear Randi and all the wonderful vets and vet techs who took such good care of Chaz -
He is SO happy to be home, he was groaning with pleasure, rolling over and over in his bed when he came in the house! He is eating like a champ (thank you, steroids) and that makes dosing him easy as pie. (Doesn't sound like the dog you were treating, does it?!) He charges ahead on his walks, dragging us behind and because our orders are to keep him on a leash for a while, our arms are getting longer and longer with each walk.
If this is the final chapter of Chaz's life, as we suspect it may well be, he is writing it for himself in BOLD letters and is enjoying himself thoroughly. We hope it continues for a long time, but we'll take what we can get and be grateful.
Thanks to all of you....and apologies to everyone who got nipped trying to handle this ornery one-person dog. He's that way with everyone except us.

Hello,
I just wanted to thank you for helping Lotus on Sunday morning. He is already improving and in fact, this morning he was putting pressure on his leg again. (he was the Malamute husky that sprained his shoulder after digging a hole and falling into it!) ;)
Thanks again for your compassion and your services!
You guys are great!!!!!
