Hi Animals Lovers!

Mimi Cappelli, CPPS
I have been a critical care registered nurse for over 30 years. There is nothing I haven't seen in human care over the years. I am confident in emergencies and able to react in a calm and efficient maner. In addition I was a flight nurse for 27 years and dealt with wartime injuries during the Gulf War.
I am especially interested in caring for seniors and pets with special needs; pets that need the special care of an experienced nurse.
I have cared for an elderly dog with diabetes who required insulin injections. I have cared for a pet dog with a post-operative wound that required daily care. I have cared for an elderly dog who is paralyzed in her rear legs. I have transported a dog with a fractured leg for emergency veterinary care.
If you are familiar with greyhounds, you know that they come from the race track with stress-related injuries and have health problems that are peculiar to this breed. I have had three greyhounds since 2004 and have cared for these very special dogs, one of whom had bone cancer.
If your pets need special attention for any reason, you will not find a better person to care for them in your absence.
