They we will use her for annual check ups and rountine bloodwork and urinalysis. thats it. Been told we are going to the best of the best so that's why we have not switched. Plus she knows samies ct condition and gets us in and out of the vet quick. If Samie wasn't so bad at the vet and didn't turn blue and all that we would have went to another place that was referred to me from a freind that works at the emerg vet. otherwise we have to drive 40 miles each way or more to another one she highly recommended but overall- yes she could get in a lot of trouble for sharing such info with me but she knows how i am with my girls and she knows who is good in our area and who to stay away from. with as often as we have been to the vet. sometmes 2 times a week and these bat tests especially. taking samie for her first draw and then going back two hours later. I could not drive 40 miles each way. and it's too hard on my little baby also. so we stay where we are at and bite the bullet. we have a very good vet-but she is fresh out of vet school -5 yrs and my friend told me that what she has seen in newer vets is its sometimes trial and error. they will run every test imaginable. and that is pretty much what she did with Sadie. we didn't know better- but we know now. 5200.00 later- the vet knows we will spend it too. so yeah- we are surely in a rock and a hard place. but she does not give me any help talking about food. she is very hard to talk to anyways. so i make my husband deal with her. I always have a boatload of questions and she rushes me off the phone. Maybe later when i have more time i will vent and write the experience she put me though with the office mgr there. Put it this way- if we didn't need them more than they need us- we would have pulled out of there a long time ago.
I need to go through some posts and find the nutritionist someone spoke to. it was a phone consultant that was very helpful to someone but i can't remember who it was?
Samie's other issue is since she has been on this food she WILL NOT stop eating poo. so she is definitely missing something somewhere in her diet.
Problem with picking a homemade diet--i am to scareed to pick one on my OWN................(typo in my last post) i am too nervous that not all nutrients would be in the food i made and i am too scared to do in on my own. I know i can handle it. I cook dinner 7 days a week now. I love to cook. I would enjoy cooking from my girls especially if i knew i was doing something good for them. I am making more treats this w/end for them and also doing some baking for my husbands work next week. I LOVE TO COOK AND LOVE TO BAKE.
I NKOW I CAN COOK FOR MY GIRLS- ALL I NEED IS A RECIPE. DO THIS. :-)
sorry if any typos= i am typing w/o my contacts in or glasses on. :-)

Ya'll should know just how close i am coming to just throwing in the towel. A year of worrying, researching and every corner i turn not a bit of good news anywhere with my girls. i am tired. i am weak... and there has got to be a way out of this rut we are in.
