Wow! Im so impressed with all the responses and advice i have gotten it really means alot!

It wierd because my vet told me since money is an issue that rather than spend an extra 400.00 on an ultra sound that i should just have the surgery because no matter what Lola will need surgery...He determined this because of her bile acid levels which were 104. The same test my vet did. I payed $146.00 to go see the specialist and he didnt do anything but look at the fax from my vet and this was what he came up with. He put her on lactulose for now.

If going to Cornell or even the University of Tennesse will be more cost effective than i would travel. It will mean missing work but ill do what i have to do. I went with Garden State Veternary Specialists because 2 people at my job had there puppys surgery there and they came very highly recomended, never mind the fact that i can leave her there and not miss work. Also my Lola would stay there after the surgery for 2 days so they could monitor her. Also shes never been neutered so he said he would do that while she under the anesthesia and the price would still be 3400.00.

What do you all think? Also if anyone has phone numbers to these other doctors it would be greatly appreciated!
