As many of you have read from my posts, we have a wonderful vet, who is a real " Cavy Wizard" too. Rodents are his favourite animals, with cavies his extra-special favourites. His a ffectionate name for them is "loveable, furry, blobs !" last year, Eamonn won a special award. I thought that you'd all enjoy reading the nomination that won him the award...Irene
Veterinarian Nominated:
Eamonn Moore, Blackrock Vetinary Clinic, Proby Square, Blackrock, County Dublin
Reason for Nomination:
I would like to nominate Eamonn Moore for the Stronghold Veterinary Pet Care Award. Eamonn has shown humanity and compassion in not only caring for pets but also for their owners as well.
Eamonn recognises that when a pet is brought to him for treatment, there is often a second patient and that patient is the owner. Eamonn always ensures that the owner is informed of the situation in a clear and forthright manner, but without worrying the owner unduly with possible diagnoses and scenarios.
An example: One morning last summer, I noticed that my cat was wheezing a bit, so I phoned Eamonn. Fifteen minutes later, the cat was in an oxygen tent, after been treated for suffering acute anaphylactic shock. Eamonn had correctly diagnosed the symptoms over the phone and urged me to get the cat to him as soon as possible. This was done and Eamonn did his magic and saved Tick's life. He was in an oxygen tent for the rest of the day and then Eamonn took Ticker home with him that evening, and gave me his personal phone number, so that I could be kept informed and reassured. This level of personal care surprised me because it is not something that you see or expect in this day and age, but it is greatly appreciated.
Ticker made a full recovery and, unfortunately, got run over by a car two weeks ago. He's still alive, well most of him is anyway. He has suffered ligament damage in a rear leg and has had a portion of his tail amputated. Unfortunately, the remainder of the tail has not recovered and had to be amputated, which Eamonn did a couple of days ago. I am saddened about the tail but I'm not unduly worried because Eamonn has said that Ticks will be alright. (Indeed as I write, Ticks is recovering nicely and is stalking me, the little fecker).
In short, I trust Eamonn.
As I trundle headlong into middle-age and begin to accumulate the various minor ailments one does, I actually envy my cat, because he has a healthcare service in the form of Eamonn that is compassionate, competent, honest and above all, trustworthy. I can only dread the day when I am as ill as my pet has been and have to rely on the human health-care system.
By the way, it's a real pity Eamonn doesn't do humans. I've asked him. He doesn't.
Isn't it wonderful, that there are vets like that ! But they are few and far between...
