My girlfriend found the business card for this specialist His name is: as follows Dr. Claude Gendreau D.V.M./M.SC. 1105-Milwaukee Ave. Riverwood, Illinois 60015 (312) area code may have changed 312-459-7435 He is a specialist, my daughter was going to take her greyhound to him for amputee cancerous leg. He is expensive, but very good as far as i know. I am also under the impression that you may need a referral, but if you can contact them, and state your case and all info they can walk you through what you will need. I hope this helps. My friend has had a few of her german shepherds to him, and swears by him. Keep us informed, please! donna, eppy and the gang this may be information for others to keep on hand for future use, if you are in the area. God speed donna [Posted in FML issue 3738]
