Everyone who works in the veterinary field does so because of their love of animals, surely not because they want to get rich. Sometimes that love is hard, especially when a pet who has been coming to us for years passes away or becomes very ill. Then there are times when the true nature of the people who work in this industry shines. Here is a good example.
A stray Shitzu was brought in by a client. He was suffering from urinary problems and could barely stand, was dirty and in need of serious veterinary medicine. As a stray he had no one to take care of him. Julie our front desk manager found love at first sight, and offered to pay for his care. After a good bath and a lot of medication, that stray now affectionately called Mister Scruff, is well enough to go in for surgery. He has bladder stones that need to be surgically removed. He will be going in for surgery this afternoon and we are all praying that he comes out fine. Julie, after a few tears about the costs, knows that she has a new best friend who will be going home with her to stay soon.
Without the caring heart of people like Julie, so many dogs and cats would go untreated in this world. She is truly our hero of the week.
