Our dog had an ucky lump above his left eye. The darn thing just kept growing and growing, and he was starting to pick on it, continually opening it up to bleed and re-scab. We were pretty sure (and had had one vet tell us) that it was benign, but we decided we needed to have it removed anyways. But I was scared to go ahead with anything because of his age (13 yrs!) and his super-sensitivity to sedatives and anesthetics!! I was afraid we'd lose our boy over a lump! But my husband said we really should get it done, and he felt our boy would make it OK. And thank God we found THE perfect vet - right here in Boothbay, Maine!!!!!!!!!!! Go figure - a million miles from our home in San Diego (we are full-time RVers, which can make issues like this even more of a scary uncertainty and a logistical ordeal)! We found this hospital to be a really nice, new facility, with the nicest, most down to earth, straight forward, smart, competent, look you in the eye, listen to you, understanding vet, and the services were even reasonably priced!!! And the vet, Kjersten Morrison, even sat on the floor with Ouray! First thing. She just plunked herself down their with our boy - I knew I liked her right then and there!!! No vet has EVER done that with us before!!!!!!!!!!! She just didn't mind getting dirty and was going to do whatever it took to put our guy at ease. And when she looked at the lump, everything she said sounded right and made sense to me. She took into consideration all the things we told her and responded with very reassuring answers. We could tell our dog was even more comfortable with her than he's been with most other vets. I would definitely recommend this place and Dr. Morrison!!! I just wish we could take them with us on our travels!!!!! :)
