with more expensive equipment to do it but I don't think there are more cures - IMHO.

When I took my cat in due to urinary issues, I was given a form to sign where I had to check off if I was willing to cover scans- this was before seeing the vet. I left it blank as consultation with the vet should occur first.
Someone I know spent $7,000 on tests for her dog only to find out it was leukemia - diagnosed by a blood test.

I can't believe Washington state is not on that list.
