He did put her on prednisone (sp) blood panal performed and on special diet. I know he left no stone unturned before making diagnosis and prescribing treatment. If you knew this vet, you'd understand why yorkie exhibitors and yorkie owners trust him without question. He is not a run of the mill vet, but one that truely loves his calling. I have his cell and home #s, so does Lisette, my mentor and others that use him do too. How many vets do that? If he knows a situation is beyond his realm of expertise or knowledge he does not hesitate to say so. A humble vet that keeps experienced breed specific breeders in his rolidex, since he understands that at times he may need to call on them for answers.
