Veterinary Referral Hospital of Hickory

Very thoughtful, caring and thorough in explanations and the surgery went well.  I don't remember actual cost at this time but it was reasonable and in line with what that surgery costs.
The only negative I could say is the slippery floor that is not conducive to large dogs walking without slipping.  I know carpeting would be out of the question due to sick or incontinent dogs but there is a skid-type finish that could be used that would allow for easy cleanups but make the floor more patient friendly.
A great place with great doctors.

The x-rays showed that there was no bloat and it was determined that, because of his age and being given a mild sedative earlier in the day for some simple procedures done by his regular vet., he was, literally, exhausted . I was told to take him home, not to let him walk anymore that night and contact them if worsening occurred. The next morning, he was able to get around and walk on his own with no problems. The emergency vet contacted me that evening to see how he was doing and was extremely happy when I told her he was back to normal.
The vets at this emergency clinic are excellent. This same dog had had bloat about five years ago (hence my concern when he looked bloated this time) and The surgeon at this hospital saved his life. When he could barely walk on his left hind leg, they did extensive surgery on that and he has been using it for a number of years now.
I would highly recommend them to anyone who has an animal in need of emergeny care or with a very difficult problem.

They took very good care of my dog. Dr. Moss is a well known surgeon in our area in he is really good.
