Heather did such an amazing job checking out our dog Kahn and listening to my concerns. Dr. Clemons came and checked Kahn thoroughly as well and gave his expert diagnosis. Heather explained the follow up instructions. Kahn absolutely loved Heather. She was very compassionate and loving toward him. I am very pleased with how well Heather and Dr. Clemons took care of our dog. Thank you for performing with excellence.
Saved my puppies life & my previous dog when he had a foreign object. My 12 week old puppy had to undergo urgent surgery for foreign object, intussusception, and fluid in her abdomen. They were able to notice immediately on the xray what was going on, and assess her, kept her stable until she was able to see the specialist. They even sent me a picture while she was in there. Dr Smith did the ultrasound and found everything, and Dr Christiansen did the surgery and was very thorough and let me know of every possible way this could go before surgery. My puppy is now 2 days post surgery and is doing MUCH better.
A week before Christmas my dog developed a spontaneous pneumothorax and bilateral collapsed lung lobes and we were referred to Dr. Christiansen at Animal specialty and emergency hospital. Dr Christiansen and his team performed a sternotomy (open chest surgery) to remove the collapsed lung lobes My dog went from constant coughing, unable to breathe and turning blue to making a full recovery. He's going on walks, running around the yard and playing with his toys again. I cannot thank Dr. Christiansen and the team at Animal specialty and emergency hospital enough. They saved my dog. Here are recent pics of Finley one month after surgery.
