Report
All of the Fishers Veterinary Clinic locations are a good experience. This practice was founded by Dr Brown many many years ago. He has other members in his practice now and I think it is an excellent practice to take your small animals to. We found the staff to be very confident and for the veterinarians to be excellent. We are on our third animal being treated in this practice. I will keep you posted as we have a golden retriever that is currently having some GI issues.
They have an ongoing for 3 to 4 months. This I know can be difficult to treat. So we're hopeful that we're going to be able to arrive at a good outcome. One other mention I think it's very good to have some type of pet insurance for major issues. They accept Trupanion and actually have it in their computer systems and file claims on your behalf. Excellent Veterinary services.

Report
Our dog, Hank was in pretty rough shape when we got home. He had a mass on his spleen which had started bleeding. He was having difficulty standing and had very labored breathing. I rushed him to FVA and they took care of him right away. He needed. to have his spleen removed but they wanted to get him stabilized and stronger before going in. This was the exact right thing to do. They gave him a medication that stemmed the bleeding and he was much stronger in the morning so they did the surgery.
It went very well and he is on the mend. They took excellent care of him and our family. They gave us updates several times a day from both the Techs and the Doctor. We could not be more thankful for their care and support. Hank thanks them too.
