I am writing to express my deep appreciation to Dr. Estrade, Myrna, and all of the staff at Brazos Bend Animal Hospital for the excellent care that was recently provided to my pet Chihuahua, Honey. On August 27, 2020, Honey and I endured being in the eye wall of Hurricane Laura in our home in Newton, TX, and then the subsequent stifling heat and discomfort due to loss of power. Honey was rapidly becoming distressed and stressed and developed severe panting, then coughing and respiratory difficulty. On August 30, I brought Honey to my sister’s home in Richmond, TX and she arranged for Honey to be seen at Brazos Bend, the facility she uses for health care for her cat. She “highly recommended” Brazos Bend.
Honey was seen August 31 and received prompt and professional care immediately, was diagnosed with severe collapsing trachea, and treatment was begun right away. She greatly improved on the medication and treatment that was administered. She and I returned to our home in Newton on September 2 and she has responded very well to the medication (Theophylline) prescribed.
It was a very scary and stressful situation due to the hurricane, of course, but mainly seeing Honey deteriorating before my eyes. Your staff was so kind and understanding and I, again, want to express my deep gratitude for helping us in this most difficult time.
