Paxil's vet is a woman. Because Paxil has special care needs right now, I am going to leave her care in with the same doctor. She's perfectly competent and a very nice lady. I'm confident in her ability to care for Paxil.

However, my two most favorite vets, both men, just left my current clinic and opened their own. They officially opened today and all of my other animals will be going to them. Dr. Brown is far and away the best vet I've used. He's compassionate, gentle, knows his stuff and will admit when he doesn't know and seek help. His partner, Dr. Friendenburg, is a bit of a cat specialist. Between the two of them they have saved Pete's life repeatedly, patched up my dogs and solved many problems for me. When no solution exsisted for Hoodoo, Dr. Brown gave him a quick, painless, gentle release. I particularly like Dr. B because he can deal with me, even when I'm hysterical. I believe there is an art to dealing with an upset owner and he has it down pat.
