Dr. Lauren's primary way of connecting with your pet is through looking directly into their eyes. 

Yes, a connection can still be made, as long as you have a photograph of the pet.

Not from a distance. My veterinary license prohibits diagnosing conditions, prescribing medication, and giving medical advice without a face-to-face examination of the pet. There is no allowance for virtual appointments via Zoom.

Due to the urgency and the changing circumstances inherent in seeking lost pets, Spirit Song is not able to offer that service.

We are happy to refer to Nita Gomex and Melinda Davidson at Last Chance Locators.

We can check in with a second pet on a particular situation, but there is not enough time in a single hour to have full conversations with two pets. Please provide details when you request the appointment. Dr. Lauren will advise of she thinks more time will be required. 

When Dr. Lauren connects with your pet, she receives the information the pet wants to share. As surprising as it is to consider that a pet could ask for medical help, she's experienced it. When she passes on that information, it's not a recommendation coming from her -- it's a communication coming from your pet.

Think of it this way:

If you had a stomach ache and decided to go to the doctor, you could very well suggest, "I think I have an ulcer." Your doctor will acknowledge your statement but schedule the testing needed to determine a real diagnosis. Your pet is communicating in the same way, suggesting that they know what's wrong, but the veterinarian will still need testing to make a diagnosis.
