Archie "Big Boy"

Archie my 17.2 hd Warmblood, is all about food.   On a beautiful Saturday morning at feed time, he got frustrated and kicked his stall wall.   Unfortunately the wall had bars about 4 feet up, and he ended up getting his leg stuck in the bars. He remained calm, since he probably knew he was in a bad way, and had to be chain sawed out.  Fortunately he didn't break anything, but ended up cutting his leg badly.   The "barn vet", suggested he go straight to Surgi-Care. I had heard wonderful things about Surgi-Care, so I knew he would be in good hands, but what I didn't know or expect, is how wonderfully caring the vets and staff are.  Archie ended up staying for approximately 2 weeks, and I drove up to see him each day from Sarasota.  He was always happy in his clean stall with clean dressings, and the doctor would call daily with updates on his condition.   They would update me in layman's terms, so I would understand exactly what to expect.  From the vets, to the assistants, to the office manager, they exceeded my expectations.  Archie is now back home healing, and I'm still in touch with the doctors to let them know of his progress.   I can't thank everyone enough at Surgi-Care, who took incredible care of my "big boy".   I would highly recommend Surgi-Care.
