I just wanted to give a huge thank you to Tidewater Vets. My animals have gone there for years, even though I live almost an hour away. They're wonderful, and very worth the drive.
About two days ago, I noticed my kitty, Herman, was acting weird. I'd had friends over, building a chicken coop, and thought maybe he was on overload from all the people. Next morning, he was worse... but he was moving around some, just not being Herman. I called Tidewater, and they started out saying the earliest appointment they could give me was tomorrow, but, if others opened up, they'd fit me in. They called three times, moving the time closer, genuinely trying to work me in. Herman seemed the same, so I was worried, but not panicked. Last night, he took a turn for the worse...and I really thought I was going to lose him. He seemed to stop breathing several times, and I stayed up with him all night... (For those of you who are not cat people, he is special, because he can tell when diabetics have low sugar, and he saved my husband's life, three times. Enough said) I really thought he was gone....or going... I decided that I didnt want to have him suffer one way or another, till later that afternoon. I put him in the car, and started driving to Charlotte Hall...called the emergency number on the way, and Dr Tacie calmed me down...she was pretty wonderful, and said to keep driving, and she'd have someone waiting for me there when I arrived... I got there at 845....and she had already talked to Dr Lisas, and they got us right in... Herman has pneumonia...he's not out of the woods yet, but he's night and day difference from this morning, and for that, I am so grateful.
I know it's their job, but I really feel the people at Tidewater went out of their way this morning to give Herman every chance they could....They've been my vets from when I first moved to Southern MD, and were the vet of choice for my husband, for his goats and other animals, for many years. and they will always be my vets... Thank you, Tidewater!!! You all are awesome!!!
