Kathleen, I live in Titusville, we have used the Afflliated Veterinary Specialists in Maitland, have you ever? They are like the Mayo clinic for animals, a specialist for everything. It just sounds very strange. I would think the vet would have more of an answer for you than that. Do ask for the complete report. So sorry for your lost and if you ever have a real need you can always call the vet school in Gainesville, I talked to one of the vets at the Big Dog show last week from there and he said you do not need your vet to call for an appointment, you can do it yourself. 352-392-4700 ext 4700, they may be able to help you.
