Like I told Denise in the above comment there are only three vet clinics in the Houston area that specialize in exotic pets so getting a second opinion isn't as easy as one would expect. As far as for a human second opinions are generally easier to get but be prepared for a lot of out of pocket expenses. Now it seems every doctor wants to run a whole battery of tests each time they see a patient for even the smallest thing and most insurance companies will only cover one set of tests, and most doctors won't except test results from other doctors tests that they had ordered. We have gone through that scenario plenty times in the past with the kids.
