First of all, we'd like to say "Thank You!" We truly appreciate your trust in VES and are grateful for the cases you refer to us.
We view ourselves as complimenting your practice and serving as an extension of your clinic. With that in mind, we strive to keep you involved in your referral cases as much as possible. At the core of that effort is the delivery of timely medical and diagnostic results. After all, the pet is your patient and we realize that you have a need to know what's going on in order to keep your client fully informed.
We also want to be proactive and interactive, and are always looking to make improvements on our end in the referral process. If there's something we can do differently or better that would help make your job easier or more efficient, please let us know. We believe having an open and honest relationship is the best way to be productive in business.

Xylitol poisoning in dogs is on the rise. Xylitol is a sweetener found in sugar-free chewing gum, candy and baked goods. Substantial amounts of items sweetened with xylitol can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure resulting in depression, loss of coordination and seizures. These signs can occur as soon as 30 minutes after ingestion of the product so veterinary treatment is urged immediately. Even small concentrations of xylitol are proving dangerous with detection being veiled by a delay in the onset of clinical signs as much as 12 hours.
