Thank you for saving my dog
Thank you for saving my dog, Lainey. In the summer she didn't want to walk much at all. Then she started passing out, fainting, when she pulled on the leash on her harness. Dr Weiner helped us by helping me find ways to help her. He helped me see that I could take action. That didn't break my bank account. He got me to a dog cardiologist at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital. She has chronic mitral valve disease and now is on medication to help her heart function more efficiently. Knowing what her illness is has been an important part of helping me care for her. It helped me focus on what to expect from her and what I could do. Now, I walk her wherever she wants to go or not go, and for as long or short as she wants to walk. If she is doingher business i hold onto her harness so she has no traction to pull away, and doesn't faint. If she starts to pull and/or run I run with her (a short ways). In the cooler weather she wants to walk farther sometimes. Next summer we will see-it will be her own assessment of what she can do or not do. She is such a happy girl these days!!!! And she hasn't fainted in over 4 months! Thank you so very much to Dr Weiner. and thank you to the other vets at OCVH that I have had contact with - all superb, smart, knowledgeable, caring!! I highly and heartily recommend OCVH! ps sorry her photo downloaded sideways-system won't let me edit it-
