AND they are significantly more expensive too.

I think I need a drink! UGH...again my head is spinning!
I have a call into MY vet to ask her what that would all mean and to ask her if she would take her pet to Blue Pearl?! I am waiting for her to call me back either today or tomorrow.

Word of advice: Don't call these places and get yourself upset. I am not sure why you are calling yourself? Your vet should be making a referral to a specialist, period! THEN, the specialist will advise you about what should be done.
