Well, it would be great to go to Cornell. But I would think that living in NYC you would have internists a little closer to you. I know I was referred to Columbus to a teaching hospital that was 3 1/2 hours away (but then I live in WV). But perhaps the 'teaching hospital' is the key.

I do feel for Brodie. I know Lucy has spent wayy too much time at the Vet for a dog less than one year old. It took numerous trips to figure out it was time to do the BAT's; then trips to figure out what to do after the results; then re-testing; then we found out she has luxating patella . . . and I finally had her spayed. All in less than a year.

I do hope you get to the bottom of Brodie's problem and can get the stones under control. No one likes to see their baby in pain.

I know it's hard when you get conflicting information everywhere; even the Vets don't agree! Just like regular doctors!
