Sonic,
What you will need for the best results is a Vet who is Board Certified in Internal Medicine. They are out there. You might contact the Board of Examiners to help you find one. The more highly trained in Internal Med. the more credibility your case will have.

Having said that, though, I believe that here in Ca. pets are still considered property and that a jury is not likely to reward highly. I doubt that you want big bucks, though...just want them punished for what they did. Aside from court, the Board of Examiners can really hurt them if they want to.

Wish you the best...
