Pet Stories

Neffie, the German Shepherd

Neffie, a rescued German Shepherd dog, was misdiagnosed with a cyst in 1992. She was only 2 years old and had a growing lump on her right back.

Kelcey's Story

My Kelsey had a stone removed last year by Dr. Chick Weisse which stopped her bleeding but at the same time she was confirmed to have liver cancer. We stayed overnight and saw many other animals who all had a chance because they came to your hospital.

Bear's Story

Bear Miller was diagnosed with a grade 3 mast cell tumor 6 years ago with only two months to live by the original doctor. With only radiation and surgery, he is still thriving, even though no other dog even with chemo has lived more than 1 1/2 years even with chemo. Even with big fatty tumors, he is happy and healthy.
