I am experiencing a lack of confidence with my vets concerning my 3 kids. We have been going to them since we got Ernie 4 years ago and neither my husband nor I were every really impressed with them. Now that we seem to be experiencing difficulties I thought this would be a good time to search for a new vet. Unfortunately, I live in a town that's not too big (actually to big for me at 50,000) and I don't know how knowlegable they are. What specific questions do you suggest I ask them? I have called a couple and asked the receptionist (vet's always busy) what experience they have I usually get the "oh, he sees a couple regularly", "yes, she's done surgery - on a broken leg." So finally I left a message stating, do you know what green diahrea is (my other vet didn't seem to and I think this question is rather easy to answer) and also if they have had experience with insulinoma. Any suggestions? It seems to me that a vet can be an expert with cats and dogs but that doesn't make me want them to work on my babies. I noticed there is another person from Flag out there - where do you go (can post me directly)? Pamela K. Barber Flagstaff, AZ [Posted in FML issue 1205]
