The vet didn't do any blood work at this point. We did the x-rays and an ultrasound, which only told us there's a mass. She then referred me to a radiologist who wants to charge $300 for another ultrasound (allegedly more advanced than the first). Now I'm conflicted. If I thought this treatment would save my pet's life i would pay it without hesitation, but I have a feeling I'm going to walk out of the specialists office knowing little more than i do now. The Dr.s are convinced its a tumor of some kind, but I've been told that they won't operate on something this small. So basically I'm paying for a vague answer as to what's wrong, at best, but more than likely will receive no treatment to fix it.
I did send an inquiry to Dr. Mader, as someone suggested above, and we'll see if he gets back to me with any input.
