I'm thinking that maybe this may be a time to call in the old guy with
no personality who is awesome with the dogs...
normally I see him or the middle range vet but we started with this
girl as an emergency and I thought we should not switch midstream but
since I know this young vet since she was 9 years old (i was friends
with her mom a lifetime ago) *I think I can easily broach the *"maybe
we want to talk to the other vet" comment with her.

I think I would. *Cystoscopy shouldn't be necessary unless there is
suspicion of some sort of mechanical problem, and in any case culture
& sensitivity should be done before that. *Are all the vets in the

they are all in the same practice. won't be a big deal at all, they
often consult with the other vets.
so i'm asking for a cystocentesis which should not require sedation
correct?
