Chihuahuas and two cats. In his spare time, Dr. Hansche enjoys spending time

biking, skiing, camping, fishing, gardening, reading, and surfing.
Please stop in to
meet Dr. Hansche and help welcome him to our hospital!
Dear Dr. Hansche. I hope you are doing well in SC. I have made several attempts to correct the truth regarding Chip's outcome without much success. Below is a review for Center-Sinai Animal Hospital where Chip was treated for SARDs. Chip passed but I don't like having a misleading article floating around on the web. Thanks. Pat
ReplyDeleteChip's SARDS Story
For those of you who seeking a treatment for SARDS, please be aware that the story regarding my deceased pet Chip was modified and unsuccessful. I have made several attempts over the years to have the article (http://drplechner.com/chips-sards-story/) removed from Dr. Plechner's website without success. Dr. Plechner was a good vet but his "protocol" didn't work for my dog. For those of you dealing with a SARD's diagnosis, just start talking to your pet more and keep the layout of your home consistent by placing things in the same spot and removing clutter. Chip mapped a new environment quite quickly without vision.
As a side note to Chip's background, I have also lobbied the American Kennel Club, without success, to shut down Charlotte Perrin of Windrunner Kennels in Vista, California for knowlingly breeding mini-dachshunds that prematurely go blind. Chip lived over 1/3 of his life blind and Ms. Perrin admitted the piebold and dapple breeding in his family caused blindness by the age of twelve. Double dapple coats and piebold dapple coats are cute but the genetic outcome is questionable at best.
Center Sinai is a good place and very affordable for those who are on a tight budget. They do good work and I am thankful regardless of the outcome for my pet. RIP Chip.
