I am a professional dog trainer, and when my darling Chesapeake, Bay, came limping up to me on three legs ( she was playing by the pool 30 seconds earlier), I sprung into action, got my girl in the car and headed to see our saviors! Bay is as tough as they come when chasing her bumper into the water, so when I initially assessed it I thought she must have she fractured some toes or had a tough soft tissue injury. Dog parents always assume the worst and hope for the best. I called on the way, they fit me in immediately. The vet techs are all awesome (professional and warm) and when Dr. Angie came in she immediately talked me down from my "we need to X Ray, should we X Ray? Let's X Ray" mindset and reassessed. I was hopeful that it could be a wasp sting, but she's a hairy little lady and it was hard to tell. Dr. CookieJar examined her thoroughly, picking up on the slightest breathing change to locate the source of the pain. I trust her implicitly and thought it may be a wasp sting where we can't see it, calmed my nerves, gave her a Benedryl injection (I opted for the injection over dosing her myself although she gave me the appropriate dosage amount as to save me some $). The next day Bay was 100% fine and I was beyond relieved. More over, I got to know WLVC that much better. They are a clinic that has integrity and will only run tests when they think it's necessary. As a dog trainer and previous vet tech, I know what clinics overcharge or order tests immediately. This place is completely trustworthy in my book. The vets are all seasoned, intelligent, well educated with amazing bedside manor and integrity. Whenever one my my clients asks me where to take their dog- I always tell them West Lynn Vet, as my girl deserves the best; yours does as well. Thank you to West Lynn, I found the best in Austin; West Lynn Vet Clinic. Read Less
