Hope that Sam is feeling better soon, and you too, Anne. It's so stressful when our furkids have issues, but can't tell us what's wrong.

And that vet???? - geeze! I'd definitely be wanting to see a different one. That's what I love about the vet I have used for my kids for over 20 years - private practice/one vet only. She actually knows/remembers their issues every time one has to see her. When Myndi passed, she was crushed - Myn was her oldest canine patient at almost 18 years old.
