Just came back from a going away party for a veterinarian of ours who is returning to her homeland of Canada. Paula has been one of the vets in our clinic who has taken care of our pets for the last ten years. Very dedicated and passionate professional, her leaving is a great loss. Tonight was an eye opener with anecdotes from other vets and technicians and pet owners on all vets and vet techs do for our furry friends..the long hours, the learnings, the tough cases, the individual cases they will never forget. I sobbed and I laughed. A good vet is priceless. We lost our Travis to cancer a year and a half ago and it was a very complicated case...started out looking like osteosarcoma and ended up looking like it was MH after all was said and done. Paula grabbed me in a big hug and said that M. Histiocytosis fooled her once but it won't fool her again...she now knows what she is up against with that kind of cancer. We have another vet at this clinic who has become a very good friend...made many trips to our home when Travis was very ill. The whole staff at our clinic is terrific...they're all women ;)
