I want an answer. I already spent all my money doing the previous tests that proved nothing..and i have a feeling taking him to purdue would cost a ton, but if im going to get a second opinion, i want it to be the best. Purdue University has a veterinary diagnostics department, so that seems to me to be MAYBE the only option left. I dont know what else to do..i am sick of trying diff foods and feeding methods..i want to KNOW what he has that is causing this so i can treat it properly...and if that is feeding slower, so be it..but i want to KNOW what his condition is..i cant take it anymore i hate things with no answers..so i refuse to admit that there isnt one! |
Maybe you can ask your vet to do a consult with Purdue? Sometimes they can do that without actually going there. They could send the records and have them reviewed.
My vet and her partners do that with a group of specialists in this area....they meet once/month and all of the vets get together and discuss cases. Sometimes they are able to manage the pups without having to send them to the specialist. It works out really well...our vets learn more and it also saves the clients money.
My vet has also placed calls to Texas A&M Small Animal Clinic and discussed cases with them.
Maybe Purdue would be able to suggest another avenue for your vet and for you ... many times large universities see a lot of things that smaller vets do not see.
