Provided by YP.comTaking my dog to this vet, the vet was doing an examine and for about 3 minutes continued to twist and rotate my dogs right rear leg. After the visit I noticed that he was limping and favoring that leg. I called the vets office about it and they threw some medical term at me saying he is a puppy and it will come and go. That was on 09-22-2015. They also told me it was nothing to worry about. Since that appointment he still favors the right rear leg and it is curved in under his body. I feel the vet manipulated his leg way too long, especially since he was only about 5 and 1/2 months old at the time. I feel the vet caused this problem since he had no signs of it prior to this visit. I was also told by your experienced vet that my miniature poodle would be 25 pounds when grown. I would say your vets need to learn a little more about dogs before they do anything with them.
Steve, I am sorry that you feel our doctor caused the problem with your pet's rear leg during her examination. We do a full examination from nose to tail and during this exam the doctor detected that your dog's kneecap luxates or pops out of place which is referred to as a luxating patella. As we tried to explain to you, this is a congenital/inherited disease and although it cannot be predicted as to when the luxation will begin, the anatomical deformities that cause the luxations are present at birth. Some pets require surgical correction while others may go their entire life without the need for any treatment for this condition. Because this is an inherited disease, the recommendation is to not breed a dog that has been diagnosed with this condition and we encourage you to contact your breeder to inform them of the diagnosis. Thank you for your feedback. Sincerely, Barbara Hull Office Manager Always Compassionate Veterinary Care

Provided by YP.comI struggled with my Lab's intestinal issues for over a year - he was okay for weeks and then suffer diarrhea for days for no reason as his diet/environmental exposure had not changed. My old ver and I tried, I thought, everything, with disappointing results.
A friend recommended ACVC and, within 2 visits, all Buddy's issues were resolved. Dr. Terlesky thoroughly examined him, suggesting a supplement along with adding natural, healthy fiber (pumpkin). She then immediately came up with a plan of action which has work perfectly. She even called me after my first visit as she was thinking about Buddy and had a thought she wanted to share with me. She was informative while remaining kind, compassionate, and patient.
The staff has always been engaging, very friendly, and helpful and, I am grateful to all.

Provided by YP.comDr. Werner is a very compassionate veterinarian. She always takes the time that you need her for and has been there for us through some bad times. I don't know how we would have done it without her.
