New vet is very likeable and took time to explain all my concerns. They were good with my pet and patient with her as she doesn't like the vet.

Report
We witnessed a miracle today. Our oldest and largest bull, Joey, was "down" Saturday and Sunday. By 11 a.m. this morning Dr. Nathaniel Burke of Rose Hill Veterinary Practice was here. We had to get an electric line set up for him, so he returned a little later and took care of all of Joey's feet and limbs out in the field. Joey never became fully anesthetized -- he was kind of drunk and bellowing.
So he was kind of awake during the whole thing and I think he knew Dr. Burke was helping him. Can't believe it -- truly a miracle -- two hours after Dr. Burke had left, Joey was up and walking, grazing like his old self.
