If I was concerned there was something going on beyond his scope of practice, I would certainly be on my way to GCVS, or even A&M. The vets at my clinic are quick to refer to GCVS when they recognize the need to do so. Dr.Terrel is very familiar with FHO surgery, has done many of them over his 25+ years, and had no concerns about doing surgery on this pup. |
I know there are many vets in our area who do FHO surgery. To each his own, but I would never let a general vet do orthopedic surgery on any of my own pups or my fosters. Maybe it's cheaper, but cheaper is not always better. IF there is a complication, a boarded vet is much better to have in there in my opinion.
