I don't know that I would mistrust these vets. You chose to go to a vet school and honestly, I believe that those places are among the best. They see so much more than many smaller practices. They are in the business of teaching. The vets are all board certified. A neuro exam tells a neurologist a lot more than the fact that a pup is unable to stand and/or void. That exam points to many different things.
I remember when my son was young and he had a lesion on his chest. It was a weird thing....and the doc was fairly certain that he knew what it was but wanted me to take him to Philadelphia Childrens' Hospital. He said to me that he could refer me to a local dermatologist but that the difference would be that the docs at CHOP see more things than local docs and he did not want a local doc to be messing around with it, doing biopsies and all. Said that the docs at CHOP would probably know what it was based on my description without even examining him. True enough...that is exactly what happened! They did not have to biopsy it or do any testing at all.
I know this is all so stressful, but I just have a feeling that they are on the right track. Maybe if you just ask them for a diagnosis so that you can look it up and understand it? I know they don't know for sure since the tests results are not in, but they could give you an idea of what they are thinking?
Just my thoughts. I could be wrong of course....we all could. But...you know we are not vets and we only know some symptoms. Veterinary medicine takes into consideration a whole lot more. |
