You are fortunate to have good vets! I know you know that. I just wanted to clarify that they would never overlook that possibility.

Lin, you know I have all the faith, in the world, in our vet...To be honest, while wrecked about the 2nd serious episode (on a Sunday morning) I requested that test, in the ER...The ER doctor probably should have told me why they didn't run it at her vet's office...He had the test results right there in front of him...Could have saved $60, as well...I didn't, in any way, think our vet was remiss in any of her treatment...In my "laymans thoughts", figured it was all an order of operations, based on symptoms and what was going on, and our vet wasn't aware, yet, of the 2nd event...
