When our dachshund became suddenly ill last week we called the office right away. We were looking for a new vet but didn't expect to need one so soon. I remembered being recommended to High Plains I was told Dr. McKenney is knowledgeable with dachshunds and provides them with excellent care. Dr. McKenney saw us right away as our dachshund was declining. She ultimately ended up in surgery with it being touch and go with her recovery. Dr. McKenney was honest and realistic, but also compassionate at the same time. I appreciate her conservative approach with surgery and care for my Violet. The staff was superb in my ordeal. I was allowed to go back to see Violet after surgery in the afternoon as I was dropping off a clean blanket from home for her as she soiled the one I brought her in at the office. The techs were amazing and very attentive to my needs with great compassion explaining everything with Violet that they were doing to care for her. They were all concerned for Violet as if she was their own pet. Dr. McKenney prepared us how how to care for Violet over the weekend as we felt the animal ER clinic wouldn't be the best option for Violet to recover. She respected our decision to bring Violet home over the weekend. We did vitals and medications around the clock for Violet. We saw Dr. McKenney Monday morning and she was pleased that Violet turned the corner on the road to recovery. We are ever thankful to the staff and Dr. McKenney for their services and care for Violet. We have two other dachshunds and they too will be seeing Dr. McKenney for their needs!
