Glad to hear that Ming is hanging in there
Wow, so nice to hear that Ming is still doing nicely. I agree, that you should hang on to the money for quite some time. Because, if it happens, you'll need to get him to the vet asap. I, too, would look at different options. I have not heard of options, but hey, things change daily and maybe they have a shorter, easier method figured out.
Hugs to Ming. Hugs to you. See, sometimes things work out!
XOXOXO
P. S. Whatever money I sent, is yours and Ming's, it is a gift. I trust you will spend it for Ming's medical bills. I am sure you have quite a bill from his initial visit. I love Ming, from afar!!!
