Our family (including furbabies) are very saddened to hear of this loss. We only knew Dr. Shain from the care and compassion he provided us at the Eudora Animal Hospital and found him to be a wonderful human. We will never forget the time that he chuckled at/with us for being over protective “new parents” of our then puppy after we called or brought her in several times. He assured me I did everything I could for the health of my diabetic cat and those words have always given me comfort in my time of grief. It was an honor to have Dr. Shain a part of our needs and he will be deeply missed. We send our condolences to the family of Dr. Shain and the staff of the Eudora Animal Hospital.
