Granted, a vet derm is a specialist and will cost more per office visit - but in the long run - WAY cheaper! Believe me, been there .



Ya know what you could also try? Ask your generalist vet to call the Derm clinic in Nashville and speak to one of the derms about your case. Generalist vets will often call vet specialists to consult, so this should not be unusual or a problem for your own vet.
