Just to give you guys an update...

I've been in touch with several other owners locally,
have a "recommended" Vet to check out, will tomorrow.
I still can't hardly believe Banfield saying that to me...
Everyone I've talked to is SO down on Banfield...
I doubt very seriously I'll ever go back to them again.
Repeated comments on how they gouge for additional $.
XX brief face-time with a real Vet.
Just on and on....

Thank all of you for your invaluable replies.

Have a good Day !
S.W.
