| Are there any vet schools in your area? Or even in Canada (I'm sorry I don't know). If so, I'd call one and if they are close...go there or get a recommendation from them for a vet in your area that can do this

| It's not just students...it's the vets/professors that teach those students, who then become vets. So, these teachers know a LOT and they have all the up to date equipment and procedures. Definitely recommend this for your Becky

You cant beat a good vet school...cutting edge equipment regular vets cant afford....and the professors that teach in these schools are up to date on latest procedures, tests, equipment, etc. For 2012, #1 Hospital in the USA was Methodist Hospital...and the top 5 were all teaching hospitals, where medical schools (Baylor, UT) run their residents/students thru. This is true for any teaching hospital in the country that is affiliated with a medical school....vet schools are no different. GIG 'EM AGGIES!!!!! | |
