Dear Dr. Reynolds,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to refer my patient, Max, a 5-year-old Golden Retriever, to your clinic. Max's owner, Sarah Johnson, has been concerned about his persistent lameness in the right hind leg for the past four months.

In Max's case, we conducted hip radiographs due to a family history of hip dysplasia. The results revealed early signs of hip dysplasia, and we initiated a joint supplement regimen and a weight management program. However, his lameness has not improved. Max's medical history is unremarkable, with up-to-date vaccinations and consistent heartworm prevention.

Sarah is eager for a second opinion and further evaluation. She believes that Max's condition may require more comprehensive treatment or surgical intervention. I kindly request your expertise in assessing Max's condition and offering the best possible advice for his recovery.

I am confident that your professional insight will be invaluable in managing Max's case. Sarah will contact your clinic to schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to collaborating with you to ensure the best care for Max.

 

Sincerely,

Veterinarian
