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. |
i agree! i just used the email addresses to 2 vets in lafayette and the purdue vet diagnostics dept and emailed them everything i could think of that they may need to know, asking for a second opinion. i'm sure they wont all answer, but hopefully at least ONE will answer my email. If they dont answer in a few days i probably will call my vet about doing a consult with purdue.
Thanks so much for the advice
