Thanks for all the replies. I was most concerned that someone would mention a condition that was not being tested for and I should have demanded.
I was a little put off when the vet told me yesterday he was keeping my dog another night in the hospital, and he "doesn't have the slightest idea" what is causing the D. He said he would probably release him today, this afternoon, but I am going to push for morning/noontime just so we can get him back and settled, and possibly have time for a second opinion if necessary.
I did interview another vet office over the phone. It will be a process, and I want to get it right this time, but I'd like to find a new vet when things settle down.
Mostly, I take issue with the fact that they are giving me vague answers like "the bloodwork seemed pretty good", rather than 'we tested for X y and z". I had to drag it out of him whether they had tested for liver function, kidney function, etc.
Thx -- will update |
