Ormewood Park Vet...opening soon at Ormewood Square

[Mudd]

Will check out Dr. Price next week... Jade the kitty is WAAYYY overdue for her annuals... and Pearl the pug needs a check too.

I can't say enough how great these folks are! We have had a rough year with pets so far, and I am so thankful that they opened when they did. Annie has come to our house twice now, in emergencies, and was a great comfort to my wife, when we lost our 15 year old pug last week. Much love for Ormewood Animal Hospital!

my 12 year old pug has been going through a rough time and I dread having to go through it...

I'm so sorry for your loss

Just want to bump this thread to say that Dr Annie and her staff are absolutely amazing and so pleasant to work with. I'm always a mess when something is wrong with one of our kitties and her office saw Nibbler on 5 minutes' notice, not even charging me an emergency fee. I cannot recommend them highly enough. (neither can Nibbler)
 

(the office itself is super cute too, and SO convenient)

How to make your pet less afraid of vet

[Lynn]

FYI, Dr. Price and her staff saved us today and my kitty's tummy (apparently Advantage is not working for us anymore, leading to worms, and I had no transportation to get to regular vet today etc.).  I loved them so much that I'm taking peeing-problem kitty there next week for a brainstorm session before the other half decides stepping in pee one too many times is too much.

Best vet I've ever dealt with - Dr. Price is wonderful. I liked Buckhead Animal Clinic as well - no appointments needed and no pressure. Outside of that, I can't recommend anyone else.

[susi-q]

I can't recommend Dr. Price and staff enough.  I sadly had to put my 19 year old kitty to sleep a month ago and the entire staff was so helpful and kind.  They made a very sad moment a little easier to bear.  I'm so glad to have them in the neighborhood.  It's nice to have a vet who really cares.

Yet another fantastic experience with Ormewood Animal Hospital today...

Last night, I went out walking our dogs, and before I got to the end of our block, a dog ran out of our neighbor's house and attacked one of our dogs, Tiki.  This dog was relentless - I couldn't pry him off of Tiki's neck, and needed the owner's help to separate the dogs.

Took Tiki into Ormewood to have him checked out this morning, and the staff there looked him over, gave us some treatment advice, gave Tiki treats, and sent us off without charging us a thing.  Dr. Annie and her staff are amazing, and at this point, I can't imagine going to anyone else to care for our "kids."

coda: It seems like I got the worst of the attack.  Had to go to to the ER last night for a tetanus shot, about a dozen x-rays, IV antibiotics, more antibiotics, pain meds ( ) and a single stitch.  Wrist feels like it's badly sprained (I thought it might be a slight fracture) and I had a pretty deep puncture wound there.  The attacking dog was supposedly being put down last night as this is far from the first time something like this has happened.  He attacked one of our other dogs about a year or two ago, nearly killed a neighbor's puppy last fall, and attacked another neighbor's dogs twice, and those are just the incidents I know about.  He was supposedly being put down after nearly killing the puppy last fall, but apparently not.

[Brandy]

Oh my god, GMoney that sounds awful.  I'm so sorry this happened to you and Tiki.  That must have been so frightening. 

So glad Annie and her crew were able to help.  I  them, too.

Would you mind telling us what intersection that was so that those of us with dogs can avoid and/or be prepared if we walk our dogs there?

I'm really sorry this happened to you. =(

How would one go about following up with the quote above? If this dog has done so much damage over multiple incidents and the owners have still not been really held responsible, that's almost as horrifying as the attack.

When it was happening, particularly when I just couldn't get the attacking dog off Tiki, I was so afraid for him.  It's a good thing he's got a very fleshy neck

Afterwards, I was concerned that he'd be traumatized by it all, and that it would affect his normally happy-go-lucky personality, but that doesn't appear to be the case.  He's very much acting like his normal self, which I am tremendously thankful for.

(The first time this dog attacked one of ours, Marzipan, it was all fairly similar except it was my wife walking the dogs.  Unfortunately, Marzipan wasn't as resilient about it all, and she's still a lot more fearful around barking/aggressive dogs, even years later)

Anyway, I'm very happy that I got the worst of it, rather than Tiki.  I can (mentally) recover from this sort of thing better than he can, so it's best that it was me rather than him.

This happened south of Eastland Rd, near the intersection of Diamond Ave. and Hazel Dr., so it shouldn't be a problem for most buzzers.  Also, at this point, I'm insisting that the dog be put down (which they said was going to happen after the last attack), so there shouldn't be a hazard anymore.

The ER said I had to call the police to report the attack (and said that they were legally obligated to do so as well) so I called the police last night, and they passed this along to animal control.  When I talked to Animal Control, they asked what I wanted done, and I said as long as the dog was put down, I was fine with everything (and that I wouldn't even want charges pressed).  So, with animal control involved (and coming tomorrow, I'm told), I'm hoping that follow-up will be done.
