In this video we discuss what to do if you don't agree with what your vet says, when to get a second opinion, and when you should get a referral to a specialist. We discuss how important it is to be your pet's advocate.
.Q: (DONNY): I took my dog Chani to the vet because she was not able to get up or go on a walk she is six years old and until recently has been very athletic. The vet recommends surgery on her wrist because she believes there are micro fractures. This will cost thousands and I don't believe there's anything wrong with her wrist. What should I do?
ANWER: 1) always trust your instinct 2) when seeking a second opinion, get a referral to a specialist. 3) don't put yourself in a situation where you're going to have to choose between optimal medical care and cost by protecting yourself and getting good medical insurance for your pet (ideally when they're young and healthy and not after they've developed a lot of medical problems).
