Hola beachgypsy,
If you live on the Nicoya Peninsula and don’t want to travel to San Jose, I can highly recommend Dr. Dalay Delgado Alfaro, in Nicoya. He speaks English, has a lab, does x-rays, ultra sound, teeth cleaning, and he loves animals. He does non profit clinics in Nosara and Samara and is a very kind person.
His phone number is 2685 3492
Good luck!
Betsy
