Don't worry about undermining your dr. As an advocate for your dog (as it would be for a human) ask questions until you are satisfied! All too often patients don't question and things can go wrong. better to be safe than sorry. doctors make mistakes. and most of the time they don't and they certainly won't be upset at you asking. he/she knows you are just concerned for your pup. If you are looking for a tactful way of asking - you might say "are you doing the lab work here or did you send it out and if so what are they testing for and looking for besides cancer cells? |
