I’ve recently seen several patients with complicated problems. Second opinions are challenging, and ofter rewarding. Most of them come from “busy practices” where “busy doctors” may not have the time to thoroughly examine the patient and discuss the particulars of their pet’s condition with the owners. A thorough physical exam, some lab tests or radiographs, often give us the answer. It just takes some patience and client education to control or resolve a pet’s medical problem. In the end, isn’t that what we all want?
