Given our schedule and medical issues of our own, if someone local can do the exploratory and the biopsy and send it to a lab, that would be more manageable.

I looked online and saw that there are also local internists, so I don't know why the college was even suggested. Maybe they'd have more or newer equipment or something.

Turner seems to feel good today and that makes me feel better--even if it doesn't last, it's good to see.

Again, thank everyone again for being so supportive.
Did you look here? A lot of people assume people should go to vet schools...that is totally not necessary. You just want to look for boarded specialists. www.acvs.org

So glad he is doing ok.
