I know how confusing it is when you have a sick baby that needs specialized care. When Cali had her liver issues I took her to a board certified internist that my vet referred us to. I am fortunate that I live 5 minutes from a 24 hour er vet with board certified internists and surgeon. If at all possible I would try and get her to a board certified doctor. Cali has very mild MVD and her bile acid scores were 1. 0/93 ish and on retest 0/46 ish. The internist and surgeon both felt that with scores under 100 post she most likely had MVD not a external shunt. We did the ultrasound and found nothing so we had a liver biopsy done during her spay. All this was done by the board certified surgeon and I felt better knowing she was in her hands. Also, with the further complication of a collapsed trachea the Univ may be the best place. The Care Credit is great to have. I just paid off Cali's UTI with no interest and now have used it for Pixie's UTI expenses. I think they said if the charge was over 300.00 I could get interest free for 12 months. It takes a little of the worry out of the whole process. I will keep your baby in my prayers and you to as you go through this difficult and confusing time. |
