When should you request a referral to an

ACVIM Board-Certified Veterinary

Specialist?

Your animal's disease is uncommon, complicated,

or undiagnosed after standard testing.

You would like an informed, neutral second opinion

of your animal's condition.

The outcomes of the current treatments are not

going well or as expected.

Your animal requires a sophisticated procedure that

is offered by a specialty hospital.

Your animal can benefit from 24-hour monitoring

provided by a referral hospital.

pain medications, nutritional support, EKG, blood

pressure, & fluid therapy.
