after that i was feeling a little confident with him; because i felt that he's being thourough and offering different options that we might have to take.
so i think for now i will follow his advice all the way and i am hoping the pred and HA will keep her healthy.
i don't trust doctors with bad reviews as usually the bad reviews reflect a truth and i dont want to put my little ava in their hands.
again thanks everyone for ur support.
yeah but i did not see that it was the doc you were going to see? Each vet is different so if the review is not about that vet you should keep an open mind If the review is about that vet then definitely would not go to this one.
