He said we will probably have to have an ultrasound done to verify (the ultrasound is done by a traveling vet that spends a day in each vet office once a month). So what do you all think? Also, there is a competitor vet that has an ultrasound in his office, is it bad form to break from my reg vet that has treated her so far to seek an ultrasound from this other one? I hate to do that, but the traveling one charges twice as much and is only here one day a month. He gave her antibiotics for the urine, and I will be switching her food to Wellness and her water to distilled. Anything I am missing? |
Never feel bad about going to another vet for a better product or service. Even if you feel you can get the same product like flea meds for less someplace else then go there. You owe your best to your family and yourself. Why would you go there just to spend more because your friend (aka our vets) is charging more of your hard earned money?
Did that explain it? LOL It's your money. But you also may find that you don't need it. I hope she is healthy. Any mention of MVD? Why was she bile tested?
