Burke Animal Clinic is our veterinary clinic, and has been for the last 30 years, attending to every health need of successive pets - three dogs and one cat. Throughout these years, we have received excellent care for all 4 clients. But the Clinic has outdone expectations for our current pet an almost 13 year old Welch Pembroke Corgi - diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy an incurable, progressive disease of the canine spine which eventually shuts down the lungs and ends in death. Gloucester (his name to which he responds as he wishes) receives physical manipulation treatment twice a week with Eva and assistants. Also recommended was a Doggie Cart which we now have and helps to make him much more ambulatory. While we waited for the Cart to be constructed to his measurements, the truly innovative staff devised and made a sling to hold up his rear end when we took him out to do his duties. Much to our delight, he has responded so well to his new legs that he enjoys going out, sniffing, barking @ other dogs, etc. His voracious appetite and active, stubborn mind have been saved. He is a very happy dog, sometimes able to use his hind legs to actually gallop up to the front door, after a pre-breakfast or pre-dinner walk. How fortunate is Gloucester and his family to have such caring, attentive, friendly staff. When we pick him up after a session, they always let us know how he did and what we can do at home, instructing us in daily exercises. The front desk, the physical therapists, the whole staff has been wonderful. We are most appreciative of Eva and everyone at Burke Animal Clinic and hope that Gloucester realizes he is one very fortunate canine.Read Less
