I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Hinde and Beth at Linn County Vet Clinic (I’ve not yet worked with the other vet, have heard he is just as commendable)They’ve been wonderful with our lab as we moved to this area a year ago. Our lab then just under a year got his up to date shots and they were, so kind accommodating. Earlier this spring I took him to get his nails trimmed and get his flea and tick control for the season. They carry what is best for our specific area and the type of ticks we have here. That is pretty cool to know which works best in our rural area.nnThen a week ago today I took our lab in with great concern as he had been vomiting for two days and sleeping a lot. I knew he was sick and not himself.nnDr Hinde examined him...asked if our lab could’ve eaten from a carcass of a dead animal and other questions about his behavior. He found he had a low grade fever that’s not alarming, but definitely with checking as to why. With his symptoms Dr. Hinde did not just conclude he had a GI infection, but found through his exam that our lab had contracted a rare bacteria that little is known about it, but it has a name. He treated our labs nausea and out him in a strong antibiotic.nnThe next day I contacted him anting the spelling for the name of the infection. He text it to me, so I had the spelling correct. Before I had googled it he had sent me a link about it.nnUpon reading the article I learned of its first case... the next case and only 3 states in the US have reported it in the past 20 years, Kansas being one of them. I learned only 3% of dogs survive. Also, in warning rural dwelling family and friend on Facebook a new friend of mine replied back eith their lab 3 years ago got it and there’s could not be saved as it’s a fast acting virus and nasty.nnOur lab thankfully is moving forward with his recovery. He had lost 10 pounds in a matter of days following his first symptoms.nnThank you.... Dr. Hinde

Best vet around!!
