I do get it. I've had my regular vet do an ultrasound a few times. But both times I ended up having to go to the specialty hospital for a second ultrasound anyway, so I ended up paying for two.

Good point! I have had that happen with xrays as well. If I know the end result will most likely be a specialist I just go there from the start. My vet actually is on board with this and does not hesitate to refer out.
