Our cavalier also had seen a cardiologist in conjunction with Dr. Jory for several years with no issues, when our cardio retired I looked to find another cardio and ended up going to Blue Pearl. I have previously mentioned this Dr. Jory that we would be seeing another cardio. Our cavalier went into CHF with fluid while we were in between cardios and Dr. Jory took excellent care of him. We finally got in to see the cardio and there was a med tweak for one of the diuretics Dr Jory prescribed. I came into Dr. Jory's office with our other cavalier the very next day and told him of the change and that they (Blue Pearl) were going to send over their report to him and that they would like to see the radiographs of the fluid so they knew what it looked as he had no more fluid on his lungs. Dr. Jory said nothing to me during that visit about his concerns or anything and I thought that we were just going to continue the way we had done with our retired cardiologist. The next morning, I received a call from his staff informing me that he will no longer see our boy for his heart (the main reason we see him). Our boy is 11.5 years old and has seen Dr. Jory for years. The reason given was that we changed the protocol of the diuretic from the cardio advice at Blue Pearl. Dr Jory would not reconsider even after I pleaded with his staff that I would discontinue using a cardio and use him only. He will not speak directly to me about this and it just came out of left field. I try to do the best for my dog and I thought continuing having a cardio was a good thing. I am hurt that Dr Jory would not even speak to me or reconsider. He and his staff have always told me that he loves his patients like they are his own and I cannot believe this now. To throw an 11.5 year old cavalier to the street because of something he did not like that the cardiologist recommended and not bring his feelings to my attention has hurt me deeply. I am so saddened that he thinks so less of the care of the animal and the care I want to give my cavalier. Now, I cannot take my boy there for anything and my other boy I cannot take there as he has humiliated me and made me feel like I questioned him, which I never did. So, please be aware that you can be tossed aside without a thought or concern for the pet on his whim. I always recommended him and sang his praises but after this I no longer can as you do not know if you will be kicked to the curb like we were.

  Hello Friends of FBC! We have added a new page to our website that lists "FIV Friendly" veterinarians around the United States. A veterinarian that is up to date with FIV and caring for FIV+ cats can be the difference in life and death. We hope you will recommend YOUR "FIV Friendly" veterinarian :-). Thank you to everyone that has contributed to the "FIV Friendly" veterinarian directory. So far we have had responses from 18 states.

  Larry G. asked:

  Facebook friends--Can anyone recommend a good general veterinarian in Atlanta?

  

  LeeAnn J. replied:

  We go to Dr. Diana Olsen at Greater Atlanta Veterinary Medical Group in Marietta. Worth the trip OTP. Call 770-424-6303. Outstanding service, very client-focused. Her husband, Dr. Jory Olsen, is an internal medicine vet specialist, so they have the capacity to deal with more serious issues if they arise.

  Kit asked:

  This may be a long shot, but ... I've moved and I need vet recommendations. Looking for a vet that doesn't push vaccines and doesn't freak out at raw diets for my 2 felines. As close to Woodstock...

  

  OK, I heard back from my buddy. She says the lady she helps with rescue work recommends a Dr. Wynn. She is the U.S. National Secretary for the International Associaton for Veterinary Homeopathy and lives in Woodstock but her clinic is in Ackworth (Bells Ferry). You might call or email her to find out if she can recommend someone in or near Woodstock if you don't want to make the trip to her clinic. Here is the info: Georgia Holistic Veterinary Medical Association 334 Knollwood Lane Woodstock, GA 30188 770-424-6303 email: swynn@... HTH
