Success Stories!
"Lucy" McClain
Lucy is my sweet little Labradoodle. When she developed bloody diarrhea I was very scared & frightened for her.
Dr. Sallee was her Doctor when she was presented at Fort Henry Animal Hospital and they really turned her around. It was a miracle! She did great with her medications and much care from her Fort Henry friends.
Lucy's progress has been great and we really appreciated being worked in so quickly when she was so very sick!

"Bebe" & little "Nevie"
Hi, my name is Lisa and I was introduced to Fort Henry Animal Hospital when my little love Bebe, was having problems delivering her puppies and needed an emergency caesarian section.
Bebe is an important part of our family, more like a child and not just a pet to me. I had taken her for prenatal care elsewhere, to be sure that I was doing my part to protect her health. That hospital was not set up to do an emergency caesarian section when Bebe had trouble delivering.
Dr. Sallee at Fort Henry Animal Hospital was able to step in at the last minute and save my Bebe and her puppy. I am overjoyed at the outcome and also with my babies’ follow up care as well.
The part of this difficult experience that I especially appreciate was the compassion for my feelings and for my animal’s feelings during this very tough ordeal.
Thanks to Fort Henry Animal Hospital for saving Bebe and for bringing little Ne’vie safely into our family!

"McDuff" Domby
Hi there! My name is McDuff and I am a West Highland White Terrier. I recently became very sick and lethargic, suddenly one morning. After running some tests at Fort Henry Animal Hospital, Dr. Sallee diagnosed my condition as a gall bladder attack.
Mom says that I am a huge part of her life and for 14 years I had never been sick. My sudden illness really frightened her.
After a 2 night stay at Fort Henry Animal Hospital and then a couple of days at home on medications, I started to have an increase in my appetite and energy level. Mom is thrilled with my progress, but now she watches my diet very closely and I don't get as many treats anymore. The good news is that I feel so much better, I can keep up with my 3-year-old little sister.
We are very thankful to Dr. Sallee for her quick response in saving me. She is a such a very caring Dr!
Thanks to all the caring staff at Fort Henry Animal Hospital,

"Cypress" WeatherlyOur new kitten's name is Cypress. She had an upper respiratory infection when we adopted her from the animal shelter. Cypress is an important part of our lives, and especially for our daughter. We were all very concerned and worried about her well-being. Her exam at Fort Henry Animal Hospital was on December 31, New Years Eve and within about 3 days of starting the prescribed medications, she began feeling so much better! We are thrilled with how quickly she recovered and appreciate Dr. Sallee's care. The time spent with us explaining the infection and how to treat it was greatly appreciated. Everyone at the office showed kindness to our kitten and toward us as well.
Thanks, Amanda Weatherly |
"Milky Way" Frye
My name is Beverly and I brought my kitty Milky Way to Fort Henry Animal Hospital with a very irritated backside when her treatment began. She would rub her rear on the floor and she was very agitated and mad while aggressively swishing her tail back and forth. She was also overweight, which probably led to her problems.
My cats are my babies and are very important to me. I felt very concerned and upset that she was feeling bad. I felt like a bad mama.
At Fort Henry Animal Hospital, they ran some tests, which hadn't been checked since 2011 when I got her. I found out she had a urinary tract infection which was treated to help her feel better. They also told me how to put my kitty on a diet to help her lose weight.
It has been 10 days since Dr. Sallee first saw Milky Way. Milky is friendlier. She is not swishing her tail and her butt looks better. She is not dragging her rear on the floor and has even lost 0.45 pounds.
I especially appreciated the compassion that Dr. Sallee and her staff have shown for my fur baby and for me. They are very understanding and easy to talk to. Most importantly I am happy that they have helped Milky Way feel better.
Thanks from Beverly Frye & Milky Way!

"Roxie"

Hi all, my name is Roxie & I was having lots of problems when my pet parents brought me to Fort Henry Animal Hospital. I was feeling bloated, overeating, drinking a ton of water, panting, gaining weight, moaning & generally experiencing weakness and misery.
Mom says I’m her baby girl. Usually I just wag my tail and look at her with mischievous eyes to get what I want. When I started feeling so bad, that all changed and Mom & Dad were worried, frightened and devastated with my deteriorating condition.
But then Dr. Sallee checked me out, looked at my blood samples and scanned me with x-rays and ultrasound. She found out that I was suffering with Cushings Disease.
Once I started taking a special medicine along with a diet change, Mom says that she has her baby girl back. She’s glad to see me happy and playful again. My Mom Rosa says she especially appreciates the compassionate, knowledgeable and professional staff.
Dr. Sallee has saved my life for a second time, now! We have moved to Florida but Mom keeps in touch by phone and saysif we have trouble,we’re coming back to Tennessee to visit Fort Henry Animal Hospital.Thanks for all thehelp!

"Angel"
My name is Scottie and my pet Angel, transferred from the Airport Pet Emergency Clinic to Fort Henry Animal Hospital because she was feeling very lethargic and was having several ongoing seizures. Angel is like a family member to me and is loved by everyone she meets. We are always together and she had me extremely worried and scared. It was a mystery to me what was wrong, but Dr. Sallee found the right medication that helped Angel and she is like a new dog now. I am very relieved at how well she's doing and everyone at church say our prayers were answered. Once I found the right doctor it seemed like everything just worked out great, but it was scary to see her having multiple seizures over 3 days. I was a nervous wreck when I first got her to Fort Henry. If I'd had access to Wings Air Rescue, I would have helicoptered her to Dr. Sallee!!
