As for vet schools, don't be afraid of going there. Just equate them to teaching hospitals, these resident vets train under a professor who actually is in control of your pets care. The resident suggests the care but the professor rounds with them just as in a human hospital. They have the most up to date research, equipment and labs and have seen almost everything in their medical practice. so don't worry about your little one being a guinea pig.

My vet has only seen Cody 3 times, (read my reply to Barney107)
from my original post I have learned there are specialist for certain illness, which I did not know. I never had a prolonged illness with any of my dogs. Again, Cody has had only 3 visits my vet, I adopted Cody in Nov. 2013, he came with colitis. My vet is working on getting him on the road to a healthy life. IF A TIME COMES WHEN MY VET LOOKS ME IN THE EYE AND TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE SHE CAN DO TO CURE HIM, that is the time I will seek a specialist. I have been with this vet since 1984 if she can not get him well she will advise me where to go & who to use. My vet LOVES ANIMALS and strides to cure all that come into her clinic. I can understand ppl thinking my vet has been treating Cody for 17 months, but if they read entire posting, not skip over anything they will see, my vet has just started treating him, I appreciate all the concern members have and offer their advise and their opinions, I do the same thing to posts that I have read, I LOVE my new lil boy, I will do what ever needs to be done, I will travel to where ever I may have to, I will see who ever I need to, to get this baby boy cured, that is IF THERE IS A CURE FOR HIM. Codys priv. owner I just found out this past Monday did not seek medical attention but one time, due to financial difficulties, she left him untreated for 13 months, this I will tell my vet on next visit. The more my vet knows about his past the better she can treat him. Thank you for your concern and your advise. Cody has had ONLY 3 visits with my vet since I have adopted him, My vet is the BEST in the county, I understand vet schools handle 100's more cases then my vet does. But, if it comes to me having to use someone else, I know my vet will advise me, is she does not I will find a specialist, I want to deal with a one on one person, not many ppl that have looked into Codys case. Again thank you very much for your concern for my lil boy.
