Lola at 7 months old had not eaten in 24 hrs and was vomiting profusely . Dr. MaryHelen had done and Xray and found Lola had eaten something which in turn caused her to have surgery to have 4 ft of her intestines removed the next day a section of the internal repair burst and caused peritonitis infection and a JP drain was placed. Lola would not eat on her own and her protein levels dropped ,she had to have a transfusion, discussion of youthinization was had. We just couldn't give up on her and neither did Dr. MaryHelen. Dr. MaryHelen Placed a feeding tube and IV meds were given as well as hydration daily at the animal hospital for over a week. She donated 90% of her time and her own finances to help us save Lola. She bought medication, a feeding tube, ensure, roasted chicken and more out of her own pocket. Dr. MaryHelen cooked chicken and rice on the time she was home to try to get Lola to eat something on her own. She came in on the weekends and stayed late everyday for over a week to provide Lola the care she needed. She remained in constant contact with us while Lola was at the hospital and while we had her at home, answering all of questions and in forming us of her progress. Lol is on her way to recovery today because of our hero Dr.MaryHelen!

Coco our Vizsla and Willow our Weimaraner are both seen by Anita Martinez at the US Air Force Academy Veterinary Services office. With any military installation, our doctor can change without notice. Coco has been seen by Anita since August 2008 and Willow since October 2014. Our veterinary office is located on the Air Force Academy and a special team of veterinarians not only see military working dogs, but they make time to see all active duty and retired veterans pets to. I have never had to question the care received there and on our recent visits for Willow, I am convinced that she only has the best intentions and care in mind when seeing our family members. You see, Willow seems to be allergic to what seems to be everything. While we still have not pin pointed the exact things she is allergic to, Anita has always been straight forward in what course of action should be taken when dealing with Willow. Many veterinarians have prescribed steroids to help Willow cope with the reactions to the environment and foods, but Anita’s persistence in not prescribing steroids for long term use has ensured that Willow will not have future kidney or joint damage due to that medication. We are seeing a specialist for Willow, but I still take Willow to Anita for my second opinions. I hope you see Anita Martinez as the same hero for our pets as she is a hero serving our nation’s military working dogs. Thanks!
