PATTI LIVED TO TELL HER STORY

Thanks to Dr. Sue Reinecke & the team at Mountain Animal hospital we have a true Asheville pet-friendly story to tell. Patti Greenleaf , a recent Ponder Cove guest is proof that Mountain Animal Hospital saved the day & Patti’s life.

She took ill and just to be safe her responsible parents rushed her to Dr. Sue  at Mountain Animal Hospital, just up the road in Barnardsville.

Dr. Sue found an extremely large tumor compromising Patti’s spleen. Immediately the clinic sprung into action to perform an emergency spleenectomy. The first hours were nail biting and the following days were touch and go.

Time was spent in ICU at Asheville’s emergency facilty but she soon returned to Ponder Cove. We  felt fortunate to provide the peaceful surroundings doing what we could to help Patti on her road to recovery.

She has returned home to New Hampshire and we are pleased to announce that Patti’s tumor (even though the size of a cantalope) was benign and she has recovered fully. Thanks Dr. Sue.

Just this morning Buck made his first visit to see the good doctor and he was pleased as punch giving Dr. Sue the Ponder Cove seal of approval.
