That's weird. I would get a referral and fax it to them and speak with Dr Centers, have them tell her to call you back. It would be rediculous to have to put him under twice to get these problems taken care of. They will need to see him to determine exactly what needs to be done, and I would explain your work situation to them also. It's not good for him to be shuffled around place to place. Cornell should keep him till the testing and treatment is done. Maybe 5 days at least. I don't believe the attending put you off like that. Tell them you will pay boarding fees if necessary because you can't do anything for him he needs medical attention and you want it done now. Running him back and forth from Cornell is not an option. He is in pain and crying, and he needs to be seen. Get their fax number and call your vet and tell her to fax them the referral, so you don't have to take him in there and give your vet a chance to talk you into doing more crap. If this doesn't work, let us know. Maybe call the vet that barney107 recommended.

I'm so upset right now I'm about ready to make some phone calls myself!
