I think you are exactly right. That is what my instinct tells me as well. I spoke with my neighbor, who had a Schnauzer with seizures, liver issues; kidney problems, you name it and that poor dog had it. We share the same vet.
She said he will absolutely refer us to OSU if he cannot diagnose or treat; he sent them there several times when he felt their dog was beyond what he could do. One time, he had them go the very next day.
She reminded me that Lucy is in good and competent and caring hands and that anyone who helped keep her dog alive for 16 years is surely no fool.
I needed to hear that tonight. |
