(Translated by her mom from Cantonese)

I met Dr. Khalsa when I was 3 years old (I’ll be 12 soon). My Mom took me to see her when all the other doctors gave up on me. I was really sick, and Mom was really sad. Fortunately, Doc had a plan. She weaned me off of all the harmful drugs and she worked really hard to strengthen not only my liver but all my other organs, In time I started to feel better and stronger, and if I did get sick, Doc knew just what to do. So you can imagine how nervous my Mom was when she found out Dr. Khalsa was moving far, far away to some New Land

Dr. Khalsa told my Mom she would still be able to treat me and for her not to worry. But she worried anyway. A year before Doc moved far away, her and my Mom started doing phone consultations, all in preparation for Doc’s really big move. I only saw Doc in person once-in-a-while. Then the day came when Doc moved to the New Land . Mom was scared again. But in time she saw it wasn’t so bad. She was able to chat with Doc via emails and setup phone consultations and Doc would prescribe remedies and nothing really changed. Mom likes that, and I like that I don’t have to go in a cage and drive to the hospital and I like that I get Doc’s full attention. That’s important for cats you know!

A few weeks ago I started to get sick and Mom knew it could be serious. She worried what would happen if I got really sick and Doc was so far away. So Mom contacted Dr. Khalsa and they discussed what to do. I needed a medical procedure which for me is very risky. . Dr. Khalsa advised my Mom on what to do and when. She consulted with my primary vet who was doing the procedure, to make sure I wasn’t given anything that could harm my liver. She prescribed remedies to be used before and after surgery and she reviewed my pre-op blood test results. I’m happy to say that all went well and Doc is working now on helping me recover and get stronger. Mom feels better knowing for sure that Dr. Khalsa is available if I do get sick. And Mom says it’s easier to get in touch with Dr. Khalsa now then before she moved away. They exchange e-mails and Doc can call from the new land and she and she can phone-in remedies to be picked up or mailed. It’s pretty convenient. Mom likes that and I like that. Mom is happy.
