I have the bestest bully vet!

[JeannieCO]

I have the bestest bully vet - Tom J. Geiselhardt of Homestead Animal Hospital. He’s listed on our Vet Recommendations page too!! I feel so lucky to have him as a vet and I see bullies every time I go in. I found him thanks to EBN!

Saturday I took Emma and Wilson to see him (Emma for her spay and shark teeth) and Wilson for his leg (most of you know we took a digger on in the garage about 4 weeks ago when I was carrying him). Wilson was given a muscle relaxer (Robaxin) is nearly back to his old stubborn self and is no longer limping or showing any stiffness in his right leg. He’s so spunky and playful again.

Emma, well I just called to get the technical diagnosis for her teeth for her insurance (she’s having two top teeth pulled that are extras when she’s spayed later this year (she has double row of teeth. They just called me back and Dr. Geiselhardt will NOT be charging me for her tooth removal.

This is not the first time he’s done this. He also didn’t charge me twice before when I came in after hours with Jack during Jack’s emergency bouts with his H.O.D. last year. I can’t believe how wonderful he is. He’s always smiling too.

Just wanted to share that.

You are indeed very fortunate to have such a great vet! Jeannie, Is he the only vet in the practice? I usually see more personalized care like that in the family-owned practices, and not so much where it is a larger group with multiple vets.

Not to charge you for certain items just goes to show you that Dr.Tom cares way more about his patients than he does about making a quick buck. Not like some places that charge $26 for a bandage change!!

Whoa...Emma has shark teeth?! I've never heard of that before. Is it all across the top row or just the two teeth? I wanna see a pic before they get removed, did I miss one?! LOL [MENTION=2014]JeannieCO[/MENTION] I must know!

That is great news, as it is hard to find a good bully vet. We have one and he is fabulous with bullies.

You must have. Here's here Shark teeth. :D No bully was harmed during the taking of this pics tonight.

She's laying upside down - full mouth view.

Extra teethtop- they're the two in the second row. She's missing a front little toof.

Lower teeth - two of her fronts are a bit set back.

Wow...I've never seen such a thing! LOL

True true. He stayed 45 minutes after hours until I was able to get there with Jack. It was Jack's first relapse and I didn't have anything for him and he DIDN'T charge me. I sent them goodies the next day.

He's a small practice and very well-known in this area. You'd think he'd be different but he's so warm and caring. $26 for a bandage is pretty high no doubt!!!

How is Tate's foot?

 

[JeannieCO]

Wow...I've never seen such a thing! LOL

She's just very special.

Think how Jack feels when she gets a hold of him. Oh man, he's all scabbed up, lol.

Just to let you know, the shark teeth picture inspired me to check out Herschel's mouth. Nope, no shark teeth but boy am I ever getting the stink eye.
