This accusation by 2 former employees of DR LOUIS GRAHAM of mal-practice and abuse of animals IS THE STUPIDIST ...most asinine..insane ACCUSATION I have even hear of in my LIFETIME!!!
Anyone who even "knows" this fine upstanding Vet....person./...community leader...KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT that Dr. Louis Graham is INNOCENT of ANY and ALL charges brought by these two former "disgruntled" employees.....
I have known and done business with this fine Man since 1985...NEVER HAVE I heard a word of negativity about his practice...his civility.....his honesty...his love and overt compassion for his little furry animal patients...My pets are my family...I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OTHER VET CARE FOR MY BABIES but Dr. Louis Graham...unless he referred me to them for a reason. In the past 24 yrs...I have taken my pets only to him...and DO NOT HAVE ONE COMPLAINT about His practice IN ANY MANNER. I have personally observed him lying in kennels with very sick animals to comfort them....to do all in his power to get them well. I have seen him hold and rock in a rocking chair a sick animal getting blood transfusions or a pet who was extremely ill and he wanted to comfort that baby....(I saw his do that many times with one of my former babies who was ill with Leukemia and had to have 4 hour blood transfusions daily for a while... He has cried with me and my husband when one of our pets was very ill.... I have obeserved him (while he was unaware) loving and comforting many of his ill patients!
These unwarranted charges...besides being totally ludicrus...STUPID...I feel ANGER that anyone would even dare try to undermine this wonderful and caring doctor , friend, citizen!
He has ALWAYS been TOTALLY professional in his practice!!!!....ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ask anyone who has a pet....THEY WILL ALL TELL YOU THE SAME... The two girls who have levied these asinine charges obviously have other things on their agendas...If I have an employee who is being dishonest...or disobeying rules of my business...they can bet they will be fired immediately...especially anyone stealing property under the crux of employee and behind my back....
I have seen one of these employees MANY TIMES entering DR. GRAHAMS CLINIC "after hours and at night...but assumed she must be very trusted by Dr. Graham and was very dedicated to work as all of the employees are...*My office is next door to the clinic.***and our neighborhood keeps and eye out for "after hour" activityof each others businesses.
I hope Poor Dr. Graham will stand strong and know all of us are praying for him....I WILL speak for him under oath any day I am ask...BRING IT ON!
This man is the salt of the earth!

I have taken my cat to Dr.Graham. He was very rough with my cat. My precious cat was pregnant and having trouble and he picked her up by the scruff of her neck. I never went back with my cat. My dog on the other hand he was very sweet with and I returned often with my dog. I agree these are probably disgruntled ex employees but if they knew these practices were alledgedly going on then they are just as guilty. Shame on them. I don't know if the allegations are true or not but I do know he handled my cat very roughly. With dogs he's totally different. I hope it works out ok for him.

I'm sure Dr. Graham picked your cat up by the scruff of the neck so he wouldn't be clawed. I don't have animals but that would be my guess.

What is with the damn vets and puppy mills in Sumner and Macon County? Is there something in the water up there. I'm from Nashville and hardly a week goes by without another puppy mill or out of control vet making the news in these two counties. I guarantee that Graham is guilty and hope the DA and the Vet board takes away his license for allowing untrained technicians to perform Euthanasia.

The locals always stick up for their vets just like Mayberry. I bought a Bichon from Laura Ghazi's puppy mill in Westmoreland, TN. The dog was severely sick with Abscessed ears and dehydration. Her vet claims that she takes good care of Laura's Dogs- Wonder why the AKC suspended Laura Ghazi's license for 10 years and fined her $2,000? I know why- she and her abusive husband are dog abusers.

Anyone seen or heard from Laura Ghazi lately? Is she still running a puppy mill? Sure would like to know.

I believe that is how most vet's handle cats to not get bitten or attacked by the cat. Although your cat may be very nice you never take a chance. It doesn't hurt the cat by no means when he does that.
very unpleased
