Great news... I've found a DVM that I like very much and want to share this with the board in case there's someone else near Richmond looking.
She's Dr. Stephanie Weddle at Fairfield Veterinary Hospital. Although she is not a FD specialist, her special interests are internal medicine, animal behavior, and rehabilitation.
I found her to be very compassionate, thorough in going over Bud's SS and willing to work with me. She had no problem with home testing, the U100 syringes and with us getting help here at FDMB.
