About IndyVet

Our little 13 1/2 year old toy poodle Katie suffered a seizure due to chronic kidney failure and lack of any calcium. She was hospitalized for three days at IndyVet. Due to their proper treatment and care we got to enjoy our little girl for three more months. Sadly she took a turn for the worse and we had to have her put to sleep.

A few days later we received a sympathy card—all signed by the staff; a note saying a donation had been made in Katie’s name and an article called, “Rainbows Bridge.” I still cry every time I read it.

I might expect a small veterinary clinic to show that kind of compassion—not a big veterinarian hospital like IndyVet. I was wrong.

The staff at IndyVet were very professional and caring throughout the whole time Katie was being treated.

Thank you so much for taking so much care and time with Skeeter. She is our little girl again. She is enjoying her sun bathing, so much. She is still doing well on her diet. We are glad to have her home again, so was she.

Thanks again to all of the staff.

In September, Tank got loose and was found barely alive and stuck in a tar pit. I was in shock. My husband called IndyVet that Sunday evening and we rushed Tank to the hospital. Several vegetable oil and Dawn dish soap baths were administered. After many hours of bathing, I received a phone call that his blood sugar was 20. The vet quickly acted to this and his blood sugar began to rise.

After 3 days, we were able to bring Tank home. Both retinas were torn, he had ulcers in his stomach, and chemical burns along his side. He took 5 medicines and we gave him eye drops 3 times daily. Thanks to your great work, our little guy can see fully and is back to his playful self. Thank you so much for everything!

My Little Ashley was very sick, she had a stroke due to probably her weight of 26 lbs. So my husband called IndyVet and rushed her there. They immediately got her in and started taking care of her. The staff – all of them gave her love, care, and attention like no other hospital. Ashley had a weight problem and so Dr. Speiser put her on a special diet – we followed his instructions and she lost the weight! While there, Ashley wore real baby gowns to keep her warm (they had to clip her long hair due to mats). All the staff would always be loving on her, watching her. They spoiled her!

You could call anytime and they would tell you how she was doing. Once we were called at 2am to come up – she had gotten bad, but Dr. Speiser and the staff pulled her through it.

I highly recommend IndyVet for the love and care of your pet. Ashley got sick again and they pulled her through that too. IndyVet takes care of your pet like family. They are caring, loving and are the best Doctor’s that have the knowledge – they know what to do. I thank all the Doctors and Staff for loving and caring, and allowing Ashley with me a little longer.

Thanks for everything IndyVet.

Pippin jumped down wrongly from his mother’s lap. Immediately, we noticed impaired mobility. By the next afternoon, he was completely paralyzed in his front limbs. Being a 12-year-old dog, we thought it was over for Pippin. Then, our regular vet referred us to IndyVet. Once there, doctors thought he could walk again. They were transparent with costs and potential outcomes. We opted for surgery.

With patience, excellent care, and a superb rehabilitation team at IndyVet, we have our boy back after only 1 1/2 months. We are so thankful for IndyVet and their skilled neurosurgery. The rehab team of Kelly and Karrie were fabulous and hardworking with Pippin. The nursing staff was kind and we could call anytime for updates 24 hours a day!

Thanks IndyVet for saving our boy’s life!

On Dec 22, 2020, we took our 15 yo German Shepherd, Sadie at 1:30am to IndyVet - the only place that was open (besides the one at the airport). Besides the sheer distress that she was in, it was also clear that it was ‘her time to go”. At her age, surgery was not an option. Dr. Fisher also confirmed this since he attempted to aspirated fluid from her bloated abdomen and it was nothing but blood; she was hemorrhaging from “somewhere” and again, surgery was not an option at her age. Our biggest concern was to not allow her to suffer and it was clear that she was suffering. Without going into specifics, we had some extenuating circumstances with Sadie and Dr. Fisher took a chance with us. He - and his staff - were beyond kind, compassionate and understanding. By the time it was all over, we were emotionally drained and … stunned. We didn’t even want to come home because we knew she would not be there to greet us. I cannot begin to thank and extend my gratitude to Dr. Fisher (and his staff). His understanding and compassion are off the charts. Admittedly, this was emergency care, but I can’t possibly articulate how wonderful this veterinarian is. Without question, if I am ever in a situation whereby I need emergency care for my critters, I wouldn’t even consider another doctor or another facility. I can only hope that I can one day reciprocate his kindness. Also, it was unexpected that a few days later, I received a sympathy card along with some cards with Sadie’s paw prints on them. Exceptionally thoughtful.
