Hi Leslie, No I hadn't searched that way -- when I did I came up with more names than the way I did it before. Don't ask how I did it before because it was...
I believe the vets are put on the ACVS lsit when they pass the citeria of the ACVS. Find out if the person being recommended is an ACVS diplomate. I'd call...

Donna If at all possible, I would stay away from the traveling surgeon and stick with a 24/7 hospital. Unfortunately, things can happen where hospitalization,...
Thank you, you are right about loyalties. I also lost a dear one very close to me by way of a mis-diagnosis from a vet. I stayed with her too long and lost the...

Donna-- Just checked out Ben's picture---he is beautiful... I've also included the list of surgeons (referred from folks on this list) in Pennsylvania... I...
Hi Donna - There is no need to apologize. You are a very concerned mom and the question was valid. I'm not sure about being listed on the ACVS -- there is a...
