Subject: ex-vet not releasing original x-rays

Can anyone assist with the following...I recently
changed my ferret's vet due to inability to receive
a prompt follow-up call..my new vet thinks Conan
has insulinoma, and the previous vet thinks he has
bronchiostasis..the old vet called me today, and I told
her Conan was seeing a new vet and that I wanted the
x-rays...she told me they won't give me the original,
but will provide copies for a fee....these are x-rays
we were arlready charged $100 for, seems unreasonable,
but wanted to know if anyone knows if this is typical
practice?????? i told her that since we charged them,
that I would dispute that part of the charge if I can't
get the x-rays, she then threatened by telling me that
they would not release any info. discovered on Conan
to the new vet.
