Sheabel Veterinary Hospital in Lexington, KY

Dr. Brock and Dr. Jude were amazing! They answered all of our questions, allowed us to txt them anytime, sent us pictures. They really turned a stressful situation a little more manageable! I loved how they showed us what the cost would be before hand and showed us the best case and worse case! It really helped us be prepared! Thank you for helping Roscoe!

I am thankful for Dr. Jude’s competence, deep experience, and kind bedside manner in taking care of my dog’s emergency surgery. Sheabel has the resources and equipment to handle serious health issues that came up unexpectedly for my dog. Highly recommend them!

This review is months overdue, but I can't recommend Sheabel Veterinary Hospital enough. I'll try to keep this concise, but I want to explain how much this practice has meant to me. In July 2022, my 19-year-old cat, Callie, had significant health issues. She was having an arthritis episode in her lower back, along with severe dehydration due to her kidney disease. She was unable to walk and was in a lot of pain. I took her to our old vet just up the road, and they were pretty apathetic and unkind about our situation. Thankfully, we quickly got a second opinion at Sheabel. From the minute I met Dr. Jude, I was impressed. She was confident we could get my girl walking with some new pain meds and continual fluids for a few days. She even let me borrow equipment to take home so that Callie didn't have to be hospitalized overnight and let me use it for as long as we needed. She gave me her cell number and let me text her with a million questions. Within a week or two, my Callie girl could walk and try to play again. Over the next 4ish months, we had regular check-ins. We did cold laser therapy often (which worked wonders-- if anyone is wondering!), and the team was so quick to get us in when she had any sudden health issues. Big shout out to Amber for always kindly answering my often frantic 7 AM calls when the office opened. Unfortunately, at the end of October 2022, Callie had the same issues I initially brought her in for. Dr. Jude quickly got to work with fluids, ensuring she ate, and allowed me to visit her when she was hospitalized during the day / let me take home equipment again at night. She let us try a Solensia dose (please look into this drug if you have a kitty with arthritis!) to see if it would take. Callie regained some strength, but ultimately her quality of life was deteriorating, and I made the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye. Even until the end, the Sheabel team was so accommodating and gracious. Dr. Jude and her tech were able to make time for a house call for us to say goodbye during a busy surgery day. I'm so glad we could do it quietly at home with some of the most caring people on the planet. In short, Sheabel really is the best. The entire team is so compassionate and knowledgeable. They care for and interact with your pet like their own. I'm indebted to them for giving me months of extra time with my best friend that I had for most of my life. If I'm ever ready to bring another kitty into my life, I will be back! For now, I'll just tell everyone about how great they are.

Wiggins saw Dr Jude. She had an upset stomach and had been puking. I wanted to make sure she didn’t have an obstruction. Dr Jude and her staff are always amazing. I can’t say enough good things about them!!

Sheabel has been the only vet that we have used for our 4 year old puppers. The vets and support staff are incredible and we recommend to everyone we know. Shondra there is also our exclusive groomer and he loves to see her! 10/10
