I did NOT have the scintigraphy done first. I knew from everything I had read and from Lola's small stature, poor coat quality and picky appetite that she probably had a shunt. I did not even trust my vets to do the scintigraphy because I was so afraid they might do something wrong....I wanted to take her where they were used to dealing with these tiny, sick dogs - and I knew if she had a shunt, I was going there anyway. It was very easy to make the appointment. I made it at first without a referral, and got the referral sent later. The people there are very kind and understanding...they are truly interested in helping your baby. If you are unsure of the appointment or have any questions, call them - they are very helpful and nice over the phone. I wish you luck - you will be happy that you have done this for your baby girl!
