That excellent news!!
Hope they cough up! x
It's funny how vets can go all around the house's for something that could of been cured so easily...
Reminds me of my Chocolate Lab Star I had years ago, when she was suffering with itchy skin and hair loss. I spent hundreds on skin scrapes, steroids, shampoo. I changed her diet, changed her bedding and so on... The problem still continued and the vets couldn't find out what was causing the it. They wanted me to spend a further £500+ to do some allergy tests on her!
Which I would have gladly spent if it meant finding out what was wrong with her. But I decided to take it upon myself and looked up her symptoms and talk to a few people. I found out that she had the same symptoms of a common hormone disease which some bitches can suffer from.
I mentioned it to the vet and asked for some blood test to be done. The bloods came back which confirmed my suspicions, and the only cure was getting her spayed. Within a couple of weeks her skin cleared up and the hair grew back. Problem solved and that only cost me £150!
I do believe that some vets (like car mechanics) like to try and cash in by giving treatment and tests that is unnecessary and very costly
