I don't know much about LSU but have heard great things about it and I was very comfortable dropping Max off. The doctor already called me this evening to tell me the Opthalmology Dept. did one test and it came back normal, but now they are working on a horse, so they can't do the next yet.
I was interviewed by a 4th year college student who then brought Max to a room with a team of vets and college students. I feel he is in the best care right now. I'm a total, nervous wreck and barely hanging on, but pushing forward. |
I've had positive experiences at two different vet schools, UF and Auburn. I'm sure LSU is a terrific place as well. They get much more exposure to unusual cases and have experts in every specialty. Max is in great hands!
And you are fabulous! I respect and admire you so much for your commitment to help Max. You haven't taken the easy way out, which would be to return him to the breeder. He needs YOU and your partner, and I think he really is just where he is suppose to be.
Many warm thoughts for Max and your family. I hope Cooper isn't too lonely tonight
Extra hugs to him.
