I am overwhelmed and grateful for all that Dr. Shipman and the McKinney Animal Hospital staff has done for my pets, more recently for my sweet ten-year-old dog Jack. He suddenly became very ill over the weekend. ER doctors were not able to pinpoint why he was so sick. After he returned home he seemed to only get worse. I called Dr. Shipman first thing on Monday. She discovered that Jack had developed pancreatitis and kept him at the hospital to give him fluids and antibiotics. On the third day, he finally ate food on his own. I was able to visit with him and his appearance stunned me. He was happy to see me, not depressed and sick looking. He was ‘smiling’ again. Dr. Shipman has always showed compassion and understanding for my pets and also for me. All of the veterinarians, staff and technicians at McKinney have always shown great care for my pets. I have always been able to call and speak to Dr. Shipman when I have a problem or they are sick. And just a few months ago, Dr. Shipman and all of the vets and staff helped us through a very difficult time with our dog Sugar who developed an advanced cancer. It meant so much to my husband and I to have their care and support. I'm so thankful McKinney is there for us and they truly do care.
