Animal Care in the Islands

I am sitting at home this morning writing this blog, wasting a little time before I take my precious little doggie Shadow to the vet. She has always had a hip problem, common for shepherds, but had also torn her ACL. So two weeks ago, she had it repaired.

First of all, I couldn't be happier with the care she has received. Both the vet and staff are truly caring people (as you would expect). But more importantly, she is healing very well, and returns to get stitches out today.

Many people told me I should be concerned about having major work like that done down here, but it appears their concerns were not justified. I can't imagine things could have gone smoother elsewhere.

So for those of you who are worried about bringing your most loved pets to St. Thomas, do not fear. Proper care is a short drive away. And Shadow is living proof.
