I got a call today and even that is good. He doesn't suspect liver shunts and that her liver is probably functioning as it should. We are trying to figure out the cause of her recurring uti's which she gets every few months. It's causing her such discomfort and that is what I've been trying to get to the bottom of for awhile now.
I'm not sure what the emergency's vet line of thinking was. Maybe he thought I didn't have the money to do further testing. I don't know. Now that I am calmed down, I probably won't file a formal complaint. Fortunately everything turned out okay, Brandi is alive and well. However what if this guy does this to someone else and they actually put their pet's to sleep? |
I am very happy Brandi is doing well. 12 is not that old! I do see your point about being concerned for other families. I would write a letter to the doctor at the ER and express your concerns.
