.........what do you mean by a traveling vet?  Do you mean a mobile vet who
would come to your house with a van stocked with EKG, etc.?  What exactly do
you need?

*How do I find a traveling vet in the Detroit area that
*specializes in cardiology?

Well, if I were you, I would start by looking at the online directory of
diplomate cardiologists at the website of the American College of
Veterinary Internal Medicine. I have taken the liberty of checking on your
behalf. There are 5 cardiologists listed in the state of Michigan:

William Brown, Birmingham
Renee Riepe, Bloomfield Hills
N. Bari Olivier, E. Lansing
Gregg Rapoport, Southfield
Laura Anne DeLellis, Southfield

Of course they may or may not all be in practice. I recognize a couple of
retired folks elsewhere on the list. And who knows if any of them do any
sort of traveling.

It also occurs to me that generally speaking one is referred to a
specialist on the advice of a general practicioner. Have you spoken to
your regular veterinarian about getting an appointment for your pet with a
cardiologist?
