Saving the scab that fell off Barney's nose was a good idea, Lara. Looking at the pic and reading the story of SCC, it sure looks like what Barney has, doesn't it? Well, I'm going to do the same as you; I'm going to hold the thought that it's just a scabby nose and an ear polyp. No sense in borrowing trouble. Such troubles in the world. Gentle and soft belly rubs to our boy Barney.
