? Looking for a normal vet in San Diego who can help with my Acrocat Tiffany

[Jadi & Tiffany]

I am looking for a normal vet in SD...not a specialist. Thank you!!!

And yes, we have been dumped. Why are vets so afraid of Acromegaly?

 

[DebG]

Sorry to hear that!!!!! Try looking in the forum for Acromegaly hopefully someone will be able to guide you to one in SD

Also Wendy Neko knows a lot she can be a great resource

Yes, Wendy has proven to be more knowledgeable than my vet for sure!

The vet I found isn't a specialist in terms of field of medicine... though she does see only cats. Are there any cat-only vets in your area that you can call to ask if they have experience with acromegaly?

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Well, I know an awesome IM in San Diego, but if you don't want a specialist, don't think I can help.

Any chance you can PM me the name? Ducia doesn't need to see a spec/r vet now but I'd like to have the name when she does.

You could try calling the vet school at UC-Davis and see if they have any grads they would recommend. I'd also check with the members here who have cats that have gone through SRT. I know the vet who was at U of Colorado moved. A vet skilled in SRT will likely know of other vets familiar with treating acro and may know someone in San Diego.

Lisa Pierson, DVM is also in CA. She is knowledgeable about FD and may have a colleague she could refer you to in your area.

And she is the friend to this Board, too - excellent idea!

Thank you, Gabby! A great suggestion.

Ugh...just received a reply to my email to Dr. Lisa...she has no one to refer to me. (Looks like an assistant replied because she gets so many emails, but they did reply fast.)

I'd be happy to. She was in Berkeley, I think, but is now in San Diego. I also know of an awesome Oncologist down there. Both were at UCDavis when I was taking my cats there.
