I also live in the Everett area and Washington State (Pullman) IS an excellent veterinary school. However, they deal mostly with livestock and large animals. I have used them for our farm animals and advice through Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital in Snohomish. In my opinion, they are the finest group of vets in our area and very careful, but also the highest priced. It is not possible to have anything done for minimal expense there (One woman told me that it cost her $3000 to have her Yorkie neutered because one testicle was undescended). I was given the recommendation to try Family Pet Surgery in Marysville (Smokey Point area) as that vet has lots of experience with toy breeds and has much more reasonable prices while still using the great care and caution that the Pilchuck vets do. So far, I have kept with Pilchuck, not wishing to take any chances. I have had good vets there and ones that seemed to know less about my animals than I did. Nevertheless, they will work with you. Perhaps they can help you get to the bottom of why your dog is suddenly acting like he only has three legs. |
