5 /5 Sandra Meadows: I took my English bulldog, Mimi to the internal medicine doctor at Veterinary Specialty Hospital in Roseville, Dr. Harmeet Aulakh, in October 2024. Mimi had been suffering from diarrhea for over a week and was diagnosed with Protein-Losing Enteropathy by her primary vet. Mimis albumin, among other protiens, were extremely low and had been leaking into her abdominal cavity. This was an emergency. Dr. Aulakhs staff was able to get us in right away. I had called every Internal Medicine Specialist in the Sacramento and Yolo County area with no luck. Dr. Aulakh and staff were not only accommodating to this emergency, but so helpful. Mimi has had an ultrasound, food change, medications, and blood tests done weekly at first and then biweekly monitoring done with Dr. Aulakh. We continue to monitor monthly, and hopefully soon, every 3 months as Mimi continues to improve or stay stable. The cost is, as with any specialty, understably higher. Theres always more expense with a specialty, as there should be. After all,Ā it cost more to have the schooling for the professionals working in a specialty. Dr. Aulakh and her staff, particularly her technician Lindsy, deal with my ptsd in other health areas that reflect onto my dogs. I worry, psychologically, from my extensive medical past. That reflects onto what I love the most, my dogs and my children. They not only understand this is a stress beyond my control, but they try to help ease it by doing the instant albumin tests. And they hug me when im crying or having bad news. That means so much. More then anyone can realize when dealing with your own health or the health of a loved one. The compassion isnt always there in hospitals or veterinary clinics. And for me, being hospitalized so much, losing my mom, and now Mimi being sick, its so important to have the compassion that this entire office gives. That, in itself, is worth its weight in gold to me. So I honestly, wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Harmeet Aulakh and the entire staff at Veterinary Specialty Hospital in Roseville.
