Those are both pretty specialized procedures, so I recommend either calling your nearest university hospital to inquire (since these procedures are most often done at specialty hospitals), or you could call your primary vet - they will very likely know where to refer you. Here is the home page for the Small Animal Internal Medicine department at the Animal Health Institute in Glendale, Arizona. This could be a good place to ask. https://www.mwuanimalhealth.com/companion-animal-clinic/small-animal-services/internal-medicine From their website: Small Animal Services Referral Information 623.806.7387 (PETS) I hope this helps!
