That's exactly what I was thinking.

Glad you're taking him to the vet.

I used to take Chester to the vet at the slightest (or imagined ) problem. Since we got the girls, I'm not as bad. I fight the urge to take him a lot now, for things that I know I can handle. But in a case like this I think I'd rather go and look silly or waste $ than to have something be really wrong.
