I made a mistake with the cost of the ultrasound and the scintigraphy tests. The ultrasound at Tufts was $519 while the scintigraphy was $549.76 although I was initially quoted $683. The reason for the discount was that I was told Emma didn't have a shunt when she had the ultrasound. Because that shunt diagnosis was missed, I received a lower price for the scintigraphy. Please note that since December, between trips and tests at my vet and then at Tufts I have spent about $2500 just to get the correct diagnosis.
