I second Canada West (all high-level specialists, worked miracles on our dog) and Kitsilano Animal Clinic (our regular vet, also works miracles).

I think you do need a referral for Canada West, so I would start with Dr. Eisen and she'll refer you on. They work with Canada West all the time.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone see Dr. Uri Burstyn from Arbutus West Animal Clinic or have heard anything about him? He is the doctor that we saw at the walk in clinic and are debating if we should go to him for the xrays and followup. The vet that we had been using was Vancouver Veterinary Hospital.
