but luckily after spending so much i figured out who is good and now have a good team of specialists that work with me and do not charge me as much now which is nice as i try to as much of my own homework before meeting with them and they appreciate it and we work as a team
This vet sounds good just very pricey i just think he shot with a shot gun doing everything at once instead of really focusing on what was really critical and minimizing costs for you since you are in a financial situation I wish he would have been more sensitive to that situation is all. I emailed my friend in New Jersey and asked her to send me a recommendation from her specialists for your area and i googled your area last night and you do not have a ton of options
The garden state facility is too far which is what my friend recommended
Just to make you feel a little better loll my friend has 6 dogs and is probably 70k in vet bills in your area
she has been through the ringer too with her dogs so i know your area is very expensive too like mine
for now stick with him try to work with him and keep educating yourself and ask questions but best to fax all your questions on one sheet of paper to receptionist and have her ask him and call you back with answers as sounds like he is busy and rushed and does not have a lot of time this is what i do now and it works great and i think they appreciate it as you are not calling for each little thing - if he has an email or online website with email that might be even better as I email a few of mine and one i have two i have to fax as they do not have email or online websites with email. Hang in there you have some answers and future treatment should be less costly -
just a suggestion as another friend of mine did this if you are looking for pt work you may want to consider a vets office or er 24 hr hospital as then you can get reduction in treatment for her just a thought as that is what i would do first
