But back to the problem, Sasha is only 16 and her parents don't have the $$$ or the means to travel to U of Tenn. That's why I suggested that the Vet, and Sasha and her parents talk about a plan to handle what they can in Cali.... |
no it was 3-4 external shunts and she biopsied for mvd as well but had not heard back from him if the mvd was confirmed. He was 3 years old when diagnosed. Could be bc it went to texas a & m and not cornell but this ims is highly respected by dr jean dodds so maybe there was a reason she sent to texas rather than cornell but he asked it to be sent to cornell so i think she should have sent to cornell
I live in cali and vet care here is very high so not sure how they will manage this and sadly the last dog on the liver shunt group that had the surgery in so cal his name was coby died a little maltese so I am not real fond of having it done in so cal after than
The owner drove from washington to so cal as closer than ut and the dog died after surgery and she went to have scintigraphy done here and surgeon was a man. I think with small dogs you need a woman to do the surgery as they have smaller hands and less of an incision in doing surgery and easier to maneuver jmo
