It was 30 years ago that I met Dr. Robert Freeman at Pine Meadow Veterinary Hospital located in…read moreYorktown, Va. I was single and I adopted a Shar pai, no veterinarian within the Hampton Roads area, had treated nor knew anything about a Shar pai. I approached Dr. Freeman and he became our hero in treating our little Ming Ming. My husband to be, never, never had any contact with a dog. Soon Ming Ming became his baby.
Ming Ming past at the age of 8, I adopted another Shar pai: Jody. Months later Jody start to swell to where she looked like a large balloon! When Jody barked she got larger & larger. For those who do not know, the Shar pai's skin is not attached to their muscles, this is why they have so many skin wrinkles. Jody was treated at Pine Meadow then transfer to the NN Emergency Hospital over the nights. To make this story short. After many days, Dr. Freeman contacted the University of VA, the conclusion was to implant a inter-tube vale into Jody's skin. The two boys that work for me couldn't wait to come to work to squeeze Jody's body. They would squeeze the air built up in her. Jody lived with us for 16 years, double a what a Shar pai would live.
I adopted an abused little toy Maltese, she was 7 and raised in a puppy mill. Gracie was my little baby, the love of my life during her six years with us. Gracie had many health issues, Dr. Freeman as before with my shar pa'is took great care of Gracie. He has and always will provide true love and care of all animals that come into his care. Looking for a loving, knowledgeable Vet to take care of your love ones, go to Pine Meadow located in Yorktown, VA. The entire staff is so, so loving!
