Andrea Bodnar

My dog was transferred to AMC from Blue Pearl as an emergency case. She needed diagnostics that Blue Pearl had neither the equipment, nor the staff to perform! My dog was very quickly stabilized at AMC, she was hospitalized for 4 days. I was updated about her condition 2x per day by a member of her medical team of 5 veterinarians. My questions were answered. Dr. Duncan, who updated me on most of the days my dog was there, was really patient, and answered every question, even when I asked it again! I was able to visit in the evening and feed her when one day she didn't eat! I was able to walk her outside, so that she would know that we were still family! My dog spent 5 months in a shelter before I took her home, so it is important that she knows that I am there! All in all, they did a great job, and all the assistants treated her very gently. She needed a new treatment plan as what we were doing wasn't enough, and she also had an acupuncture treatment, which was something I had been considering. Now that she is home and I am continuing with the medications at different times, I can really appreciate how much work goes into it. I have been lucky to have a super healthy dog, but things happen, and they get older so you have to be prepared.
