This review is very overdue. It's now the one year anniversary of when Dr. Trujillo and Dr. Hale diagnosed a dog that I had been desperately trying to save. I had picked him up in Alabama, literally starving to death. He unfortunately wasn't my first starvation case, but sadly his condition was far more complicated than that. Other veterinarians ran multiple tests and gave iffy answers, they tried different diets and medications; one even wanted to do exploratory surgery to see why he couldn't keep food down. This upset me greatly because I doubt he would have survived that. Dr. Trujillo and Dr. Hale ran some labs, asked a lot of questions, and came back with some idea of what was going on. He had an obstruction of the duodenum. They got us scheduled shortly thereafter for emergency surgery at Roadrunner. I was so elated to have an answer. We were all hoping that he had eaten something he shouldn't have while scavenging and that removing it would save him. Just to finish out the story, Oreo did not live. But these vets were correct about where the problem started. Unfortunately, it was tumors all the way down and there was no way to save him. But they were so compassionate and tried so hard for my Oreo. I couldn't have asked for more. Also, Dr. Trujillo made time to put one of our elderly cats to sleep when he took a downturn. I appreciate her greatly for not making him wait days to pass peacefully. Another doctor we love is Dr. Moulton. She has taken great care of several of our cats. Tooth extractions, bladder stones - you name it. She also takes great care of Bear, the dog we adopted after Oreo passed. Bear is a unique fella. He had knee surgery at Roadrunner, and Dr. Moulton keeps him pain-free with arthritis meds and keeps his seizures at bay. She also did great aftercare on our dog, Cubba, after he was attacked at a dog park (Roadrunner stitched him up since it happened on a weekend). He had several sites with stitches and Dr. Moulton was there for us anytime we had questions or concerns. We love all of the staff at Zia. They know our pets, they know us, and they are there for us when we need them. I couldn't recommend this veterinary office more!
Finally found a local, friendly, not so expensive vet that will provide quality care for all of my furbabies!! Thank you ZPH team :)
