I concur....and you being an NP, you know we in medicine like to practice crisis prevention as opposed to crisis management.....I would go post haste to the board certified internal medicine vet, then go from there...I tend to hang around vet schools when I have a very sick pup....I have heard the very best things about Auburn Vet School....I think I would want to know why your vet selected the other over Auburn.....it may be simply because it is closer to where you are???? That is the other great thing about your being an NP....you are not intimidated by docs and will ask appropriate questions and make sound decisions on your own, rather than just go where you are told, do what you are told to do, etc....I am also praying for your precious little girl.....breathe deeply, and dont jump directly to worse case scenerio first, like I always do!
