CJ7BOOMER,
Thank You for not being upset...or taking my intention the wrong way...My biggest concern is that Lou Dog is healthy and Happy...
You are Right it is hard to find a Good Vet...one that will build a relationship with your pet...
Dr.Rick Mitchell is one of the Best Equine vets in the world...he is in Fairfield,CT....Maybe call his office and see who they refer people to..if that is close to you..Or Dr. Bill Bradley in Ridgefield..same thing..If those guys refer them,I can almost Guarantee Their experience and Professionalism...ask who cares
for their dogs...all large animal vets have to use a small animal vet for their own dogs,cats,etc.
Like Cincys'momsaid...even though you have had Positive experiences with this vet..and a 10 year repoire...Perhaps he just doesn't have the right chemistry for Lou Dog...
I assisted Vets for years...Large Animal...Like I eluded to you earlier...even if we thought to ourselves...High Strung Arab...we either wouldn't say anything...or try to turn it around...as an Example...if an Arab horse was acting silly,spooky,whatever....we might say..."Oh So and So....Don't let the Silly Arab side of you show"....in soothing tones...with animals...you basically could be Saying anything to them...Like "go to McDonalds and fetch me a cheeseburger"..but if said in the wrong tone,they will remember it forever....when said Slowly,Calmly and with sincerity...they are comforted....

Oh don't let meBabble...
I am just Glad that your Darling Lou is Feeling Better!!!!!!!
Good Boy,Lou!!!
Hugs and Treats from Us!!!
