Debbie, I know what you mean. After a while, one begins to feel totally inept when it comes to pets and their health. I think once things settle down, you will regain some sense of self when it comes to the little critters. Not everything needs to be handled by a vet.

This past month I had an episode with Miley and another hot spot.....I treated it with medication for her last time and it cleared up in a few days. The bunnies had a meeting a few months ago, and I handled that without going to the vet. It just takes a few calm, ordinary events for your courage to return. Not all pets are deathly ill, when they are ill.

After Graemer and Gabe died, I didn't trust my vet (the old one) or the new one..... and didn't trust my self...... I felt so out of control. I feel better now......and my pets aren't going to the vet quite so often.

So hang in there with these two sick guys. I just know it will get better.
