After almost three days of thinking my dog Desperado had a bad snake, spider or scorpion bite. His neck and face area had swollen to make him almost unrecognizable. Even through it all my boy was still a happy boy. This was my third vet in three days, the wonderful Dr. Murphy attended my boy and had some concerns and was right to be. After X-rays and blood work we found out it wasn't a bite but he had lymphoma. My world fell apart at that moment. I had to make the hardest decision I have ever made in my life and let me boy go in his sleep.
Even though this is a sad and painful moment in my life. Dr. Murphy was amazing, understanding, compassionate, and felt like he had known Desperado. He made his transition into doggie heaven as peaceful and beautiful as could be. I thank God for people like Dr. Murphy and his amazing staff. Even though we met for the first time under sad circumstances I'm glad it was him who let me hold my boy and cry till I couldn't anymore. He treated my Despi like a human being and I will be for ever grateful.
God bless you Dr. Murphy for having such a beautiful and compassionate heart. Thank you to all the staff for making such a difficult day not feel like I was alone.
Eternally grateful
