The lab results you posted meant absolutely nothing to me, and maybe it was enough for him go by, but it just seems odd IMO. Too much potential liabilty for a legitimate veterinarian, I would think. Anyway, just curious.
i didnt ask him to diagnose her; as she was already diagnosed
i only asked for insight and opinion; and since he's an internal medicine specialist i believe he can say his opinion; especially if i asked him for it.
it's not like i am going to change her treatment. she's going to stay on the same medication but i had a choice between EN and HA and he said hydrolized will be better for dogs with IBD; he also told me to go see a specialist as he thinks ava needs to be on another medication; but i am not going to do that right now. no big deal and i am greatful for his insight.
