My friend Kristen traveled up here to MN to see the vet I work for because she has spent the last three years and over $3000 trying to get a diagnosis and treatment plan near her in Ohio. I was so worried nothing would be found, just because nothing has been found before.
Well, Griffin tore his achilles and gastroc sometime prior to 2010 (based on xrays from that time period, then diagnostic ultrasound yesterday). So now she has a diagnosis and a treatment plan. We just need to find someone to carry out the treatment plan closer to her.
SO relieved it was worth it for her. Also, it was really, really great to see her again. It's been almost 3 years since I've seen her! We spent most of today training dogs. SO MUCH FUN. SO MUCH to work on.
And now I'm sad, because she's on her way back to Ohio.
