If I remember right you're up North. Look up Dr. Gary Johnson in Mount Vernon. He's up by the hospital on the same road. He's been breeding labs for many years. I think knowing the breed well helps him understand hunting dogs better in general. He's also very reasonably priced compared to most. He's a great guy.If you want her records call first, give them time to make your copies. I had many people walk in the door expecting to take Records off the shelf and go. The information is theirs but not the paper it's printed on. You'd be surprised how many people didn't realize that.I disagree. You pay them to keep the record and you actually own that record. No need for copies. It is yours if you have paid your vet bill. This is mandated by the Department of Health which regulates hospitals, doctors and surprisingly enough, vets. This includes all x-ray films and any other data which may be stored on a computer. It shall be available on request. It would probably be "polite" to call ahead but, your records are your property and the vet must readily supply them upon request. If the vets office wants copies, that is only their own policy. All original copies and notes are to be handed over to the owner. Same as medical transcriptions. It is illegal to alter them and as I mentioned, these rules fall under the guidelines of the Department of Health......The DOH is the only office which can basically shut down any operation in the State. They can close a Landfill, Water Treatment Plant, Hospital........Hanford.....U name it.....they gots some power...

In all my Schooling and work experience it has been stressed the paper Records are the legal property of the Doctor. I'd like to see the R.C.W. that's says you can walk into your Dr's office and just take a file off the shelf and walk out.But this is not what the thread is about so I wont say more.
Taking her back to the vet Monday for 1 last test to figure out what is causing her increased calcium levels. If they don't give me some REAL friggin answers I'm going to raise holy hell... In the mean time, I don't smoke pot, never have, but I know where to get it and I'm seriously thinking about cooking her some "special" food to see if it helps her appetite. Force feeding her is getting more and more difficult. She runs and hides from me when she knows it's time to eat and she clamps her mouth shut so I literally have to pry her mouth open. She is getting thinner and thinner by the day Hopefully I'll have more information by the end of next week...
