It's as if some vets need a course in giving the test. Dr. Tobias will give a vet instructions on how to perform the tests. But when you tell them this, one may want to watch for fragile egos. Not all vets are humble.
They rarely give this test. So even though they're acting like it's a no-brainer it's usually uncommon.
Calm down. Don't worry. Not right now. It may or may not be an issue. |
what were the results on your baby? This is why i did 3 to be sure but i think with her numbers being over 200 and symptoms I think i would get on it if no symptoms then I would be more apt to hold off for a while and retest in 6 mos. I agree many vets are not up on this as went to 3 and then the 4th one was the only one that ever mentioned it and i have two yorkies and a maltese - the 4th is more up on it as i believe he is friends of dr broom and he also has a phd so i think he is further educated but i like you freaked when he called me saying my dd may have a shunt - i was in shock
