Reidsville Veterinary: Harling David E DVM

May 2021

This is long winded, beware-though I hope you'll find it justified. I want to thank Dr. Shinew and staff for saving my little trouble maker's life! His name is Safari. He and his siblings were rescued from the side of an extremely busy highway in Virginia where they had been dumped by the worst of our own species. Their mother was killed but the kittens survived. My husband and I only wanted one kitty since we had already rescued three ferrets and believe me when I say they are a handful! But the individual who found them stranded told me that our little fella was incredibly attached to one of his sisters, and I just didn't have the heart to separate them. Safari is such a fun cat, he walks on a leash and gets into everything-he even plays fetch! Fast forward about three years. I came back to Reidsville in order to help my father who had open heart surgery. It turned out that his health wasn't what anybody expected, and our dad died on October 24th, 2019. I stayed in Reidsville because our grandma (his mom) broke her hip the next day when a rack fell on her at Belk's while she was buying an outfit for the funeral, so I stayed in Reidsville to assist her post emergency surgery. Fast forward to Christmas Eve. Safari had a string coming out of his rear end and when I pulled, it barely budged (please don't do what I did) so I pulled harder. I didn't realize he had swallowed a needle and thread in my absence-cats can just about get into anything because where he found it was a table that had a shelving unit-so he had to get his paw in between the two spaces and he managed to do so. When we brought him in, and found out what actually happened, the synopsis/diagnosis was grim. There was concern that it punctured his liver. Dr. Shinew saved my baby!!!!! I can't thank her enough. Safari is still getting into everything, but I have the opportunity to love him and try to keep him away from danger to live another day because of her. Dr. Shinew, we are so grateful! You truly are making a positive impact in this world for species that deserve the best treatment.

I love Reidsville Veterinary Hospital. I have a four legged child that has a disc issue in his neck that cannot be operated on so we have to be careful with him around my two larger four legged kids so we doggie daycare him at RVH about five days a week. They are AWESOME. Everyone there treats him like part of the family. Could not ask for a better Vet!!!
