I'm sure it would be worth it for both vets in the end as they would both make money. Maybe your vet has a few other clients who would benefit from ultrasounds. Even if they could line up 3 or so, it would probably be cost effective for your vet to set it up. Just a thought.
Prayers that Kacey will stay strong and the mystery will be solved and fixed!
That's something I'm going to ask about so perhaps I won't have to go through this if any of the kitties need an ultrasound in the future (something that's likely to occur because I have two cats with heart murmurs). Kacey needs the testing done right away, so I'll undoubtedly have to travel somewhere. But I'm really surprised that there isn't such an arrangement. In Denver my neighborhood vet had an ultrasound person come in once a week, and I had a backup clinic across town that had its own ultrasound machine. So it was a little shocking to have a vet in Springfield (a city of 100,000 people) tell me that I'd have to go to St. Louis to get an ultrasound done.
