Did she say anything about doing further testing? I know it can be difficult to diagnose, but some of the testing is so expensive, especially the MRI, and even then it's not 100%, I guess, unless they find something. To me, it wouldn't make too much difference; I would do anything to not put my dog through another episode. You have to remind yourself that dogs are genetically programmed to hide pain, and can be in pretty bad shape, but only have a few symptoms, such as not eating. I know it’s hard not having a clear answer, but with something like this, I think you have to think of “safety first.”
