Neurology is AWESOME!

Neurology is AWESOME! Rocco has been seen by Dr. JP McCue several times over the last few months. Sadly he is very sick. Your entire staff has been professional, caring and attentive to both Rocco and I.

Our beloved dog, Foxy

This story starts off very sad but has a very happy ending. On 2/7/2010 our beloved dog Foxy was hit by a car (she's a mini dachshund). She had traumatic brain injury, pulmonary contusions, and she was comatose from sunday night till some time on wed.

I took her to the local vet. she had a temp so they took an xray of her abdomen. what they saw was she had and infection in her uterus. the vet said she had to get to the animal hospital asap.

Tigger-my little Rocky

Tigger My story is about one Vet who gave us HOPE when no other doctor would even dare to operate. Tigger had a liver mass removed back in 07 at different hospital sadly it came back but in a area which was inoperable. Tigger had months to live in 2008. No one could operate because of location. They said one vet might be able to help. That ounce of HOPE that Dr. Chick Weisse Director of Interventional Radiology gave to us means the world to me. Imagine hearing the words sorry we cannot do anything But Dr. Chick Weisse who performed two chemoembolizations to shrink mass. Then he was able to operate in Dec 2008. Now he is there with you at AMCNY . Tigger was there at AMC and Dr. Weisse did CT scan good news no tumor recurrence! Because of Dr. Weisse Tigger is here today 14 months post OP. To me Dr. Weisse is the God of vets. His compassion, determination and love for Tigger I will thank him always.
