Teddy was a cardiology patient of Dr. Sanders at MSU in his last year, but Pip is young and healthy and fine with his primary care vet. But I would definitely go back to MSU if Pip develops any complicated health issues. My sister takes her two schnauzers to MSU for all their care. She is a pediatrician and she has gone to great lengths to get the specialized care her dogs need. Both are diabetic and have insulin pumps, and one had to have his eyes removed due to complications. They are lucky to have her, because I suspect a lot of owners would not be able to manage what she does for Ben and Lizzie.
BTW, Pip went to urgent care for a gastrointestinal bug 3 weeks ago. We were leaving on vacation a couple days later and I was erring on the side of caution. When they were checking him for pancreatitis, etc. the x-ray showed that he has a "very small liver." They recommended we talk to our vet about that.
