I've been taking my animals to St. Mary's vet for years. The doctors there have been wonderful. My old shih tzu was sick for over a year with a heart condition, thyroid problem and kidney problems. They were great. I told them I would continue to treat him with all the medications until he began to suffer. The doctors agreed with my plan. The doctor told me when the time came, he would go down hill quickly, and that is exactly how it happened, but it happened to be on Labor Day. Vets office closed. Every vet in the county closed. I ended up having to take him to the emergency vet in Waldorf. I was very disappointed that my vet wasn't there for me when I needed him the most, but it was a holiday and I understood. I called the next day to tell them, and the vet relayed his condolences. I will continue to take them there, because the staff is great!
