Here's another thing I like about Dr. Valdez--his common sense. We fostered a 15-yr-old Golden. One day I noticed his inner eye covering on one was not closing all the way, so a quarter inch of it was visible on his eye. The rescue group wanted me to haul him to an eye specialist outside of Tampa. This sweetheart was not in any apparent pain but quite rickety, so I asked to take him locally first before subjecting him to two long car rides.
Dr. Valdez checked him over and said it's not going to cause a problem, he's not in pain, he's almost 16, just let him be. He gave me some eye drops to keep the area moist. A common-sense solution. Quincy lived to be 16, and the eye covering never budged or caused a problem.
