Veazie Animal Wellness & Rehabilitation Center

From Tim Roach: In October of 2010, my Great Dame, Millie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a bone disease that is virtually always fatal.  I was told by a leading cancer vet that because of the advanced stage of the disease, Millie had at most 2 to 4 months to live and that during that time Millie would be in a lot of discomfort.  He strongly recommended amputating the leg to alleviate the pain.   Millie could not walk on the leg, was losing her appetite and seemed to be losing her will to live.  I wanted to give her the best quality of life in the short time she had left.  I took Millie to Veazie Veterinary Clinic in Veazie, Maine to see Dr. Julie Keene.   I also brought Millie to see a holistic vet, Dr. Lee Herzig, Full Circle Holistic Veterinary Clinic in Belfast, Maine.  Working with both western and eastern medicines, Dr. Keene and Dr. Herzig turned Millie’s condition around.  Millie regained the use of her leg, became playful again, regained her appetite.  We started going on short “strolls” with her sister Molly again.  There is no cure for Osteosarcoma.  All we can hope for is to give our “best friends” the best quality of life.  Dr. Keene and Dr. Herzog did that for Millie.  Millie lost her battle with Osteosarcoma on August 1, 2011, more than 10 months after she was given no more than 4 months to live.  Most important, she had a great, happy, virtually pain free 10 months.  I want to thank, with all my heart, Dr. Keene and Dr. Herzig, and their wonderful staffs for giving Millie what I wished for, and what she deserved … quality of life.
