UF said they do it, but with all tests etc not counting the hotel etc they will be around $3 to 4,000 depending on what is what. Univ of Tenn is closed today due to snow. The person giving details is not there till hopefully tomorrow. We have someone here who is not in today and is calling me back tomorrow. Trying to eat this elephant one bite at a time but quickly. My Vet is starting him on medication "just in case" today, and said yes, thinking liver shunt.
| My Micah was at UT in dec 2009 he was diagnosed with MVD, a small liver, luxating patella worsening in 1 leg and undesended testicles
Micah had radiographs & ultrasound,& nuclear scintigraphy performed the first trip there, we went 2 weeks later Micah underwent surgery to take liver biopsies and to perform casteration Both MVD & LP are congenital
His bills there cost me over $1800. plus my expenses...good luck with your little one....just in case anyone is intersted (Bee Gee boy of my insatiables love) is the father to Micah |
