Sending lots of comforting thoughts and love for Olive and for you!
Thank you, Randi!
The echocardiogram is done at a referral hospital and is interpreted by a cardiologist. Olive's veterinarian makes the referral, and then I make the appointment.
I called another place today. Apparently they have openings as soon as next week, but when I wanted to know the cost, this person said 'there's no real way to get an estimate".
Seriously? Everybody else told me how much their service is. He was very incompetent, so I called again a little later. I did get an answer, but they require 2 appointments, one for consultation, the other one for the actual echo.
This is out of the question, because it's a long drive.
So it's back to square one., the October appointment.
