tjdMom, I'll bring that up at Tuesday's visit. We do treat with flea and tick preventatives but I suppose anything is still possible. Tobie is never off leash, even in our back yard, because we've got too many large birds of prey for my comfort level, so it's not like he gets into a lot of areas with dense underbrush, etc. . But, I'll leave no stone unturned.
I did feel in my gut that dismissing the stone was not good care. He's always been a good Vet, but we've never needed anything more than routine care. In the past when he's had to refer us out he's always done the right thing until the referral. I don't have faith in that this time. I'm hoping that now that Tobie will be in the hands of the specialists (whom we have used twice before, my poor Sheltie had to have a complicated pad surgery for a growth that was interfering with her walking and again when she had to have exploratory surgery, our first first Vet (not this one) missed a bit of ovarian tissue and she had to have it removed... anyway, they're top notch) he will get good comprehensive care.
Thank you again. |
